Manufacturer's Suggested Price

[James Berry]

I was wondering what the manufacturer's suggested price on Yenko's were. I have a window sticker off of a 1969 Camaro which list it at 4245.00 before any charges. Were all the Camaros the same? How about Chevelles, how much would they sticker for? I would also like to hear from you Nova guys. I never have paid sticker for a new car but if any of you would like to sell one for its sticker price give me a call!!!

James;
The Yenko window stickers' base prices were consistent within the particular models, but obviously the option combinations dictated the final sticker price. Most original owners did not pay the sticker price, but some of the first cars available did command the full sticker price, in both '69 and '70.

The '69 Yenko Camaro base price was $4,245, and with the required AM Radio option of $61.10 had an adjusted base price of $4,306.10.

The '69 Yenko Chevelle base price was $3,980, and with the required AM Radio option of $61.10, and SS hood, grill, rear panel... option of $150.00, had an adjusted base price of $4,191.10.

The '69 Yenko Nova base price is unknown. The '67 and '68 Yenko Camaro base prices are also unknown, and probably were not consistent in terms of prices since they were transplant cars.

The '70 Yenko Nova had a base price of $4,395, this included the required AM Radio and ZJ3-Special Interior options. Interesting to see that the small block Nova had a higher adj. base price than the '69 big block cars.

When will you get started on your Yenko Chevelle project??

The 1967 Yenko Camaro base price was $4245.

Denis;
I'm curious to know what you are basing the $4,245 on. We know that the prices on the '67 Yenko Camaros ranged from a base price low of $2,572, to an optioned out high of $5,242.08. We also know that the optioned price of many of the '67 Yenko Camaros was lower than $4,245. For example, some cars were in the $4,020 range and were usually the 410hp automatic cars, however, most cars were in the mid $4,200 range, and were the 450hp 4speed cars.

I know that there are some window stickers floating around for the '67's, if you have one could you make me a copy?

Base price of $4245 shown on Span-Inc brochure (shown below), and on 67 window sticker (also below). Destination charge was $120.

I know of a Garnet Red Yenko Chevelle that had a sticker price of $4,481.32 and sold for $4,181.32 . It was a 4sp with bench seat car. The 30K LeMans blue Yenko Chevelle sold for $5,018.13 and is "loaded" for a Yenko with AM radio, PS ,TH400, bench seats, and rear mt antenna.

Denis;
Thanks for pics, I see where the $4,245 comes from now. Interesting that it conflicts with Yenko's records. I can only speculate that the difference may have been his gross margin. We have some paperwork on a '67 Y-Camaro that actually started with a base price of $2,572, and the options drove it over $5k. Overall, it seems that the base prices on the various models' window stickers are fairly consistent. I hope this answers James initial post.



I think the base prices are easier established than the optioned prices, and it would be interesting to see which car, with paperwork (either window sticker or bill of sale), was the highest priced for each model/year.

Denis has the dollar amount for the '67s;
'67 Yenko Camaro $5,121.75.

I have Bill Hunter's window sticker for his;
'69 Yenko Camaro at $4,381.65.

JoeC's example for;
'69 Yenko Chevelle at $4,481.32.

I have my bill of sale for;
'70 Yenko Nova at $4,509.10.

Any more???

The 30K mile LeMans blue Yenko Chevelle at SCR4 sold for $5,018.13 with AM radio, PS ,TH400, bucket seats, and rear mt antenna. The car may have had other options installed by Yenko or by the selling dealer. It has a chrome bullet type mirror on it that looks like one in the Yenko catalog called a Talbot Racing Mirror and has a Camaro rear spoiler.

We bought our COPO Chevelle new and it listed for $4436 CDN. The COPO 9566AA option was $649 CDN. I see where someone got charged $150 for the SS hood and black out front and rear end treatment. Three of us bought COPO cars new at the same dealer and they all came with the SS hood and blackout treatment as part of the package. My GM documentation does not show this as a separate package. The D96 stripe was a $36 CDN option however and one of the cars didn't have it. Just a little extra info for comparison sake.

[James Berry]

This is great stuff, keep it comming.

James;
What's up with your Chevelle, when will start with the resto??

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

JoeC;
Did that Chevelle have a window sticker or a bill of sale? I thought he had both, but I don't remember.

[NWYENKO]

The sales contract for our car was for $4381.65. The buyer rec,d a $281.65 discount,put down $2900.00 and financed $1200.00 for 24 months at $60.08 per month.The delivery schedule shows 6 cars on the truck to Gates Chev on 4/23/69. The dealer cost of the car was $3697.73. There were 4 Camaros and 2 Chevelles on this truck. If I can figure out how to scan this document in, I will. Would be interested to find out about the other 5 cars.

Marlin on your post ** "The '69 Yenko Chevelle base price was $3,980, and with the required AM Radio option of $61.10, and SS hood, grill, rear panel... option of $150.00, had an adjusted base price of $4,191.10." **
this does not sound right to me. The Yenko Chevelle base price should be higher then the Yenko Camaro. The cost charged to the dealer for a Yenko Camaro was around $3700.00 and the Yenko Chevelle was over $4000.00 according to my info.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

JoeC:
I agree with you, but the #'s that I reference came from an actual Yenko window sticker. The number seems too low, and I checked to see that it was not the transfer price.

It is not the transfer price to the participating dealer, Bob Johnson Chev, because I have the bill of sale from Yenko to B.Johnson that accompanies this window sticker. This B.O.S. has the base price as $3,375.78, and the final price as $3,763.49 after adding in the vinyl roof, 'SS' items, manual rear antenna, and AM Radio, ect. The difference between the window sticker and the B.O.S. appears to be the projected margin for B.Johnson Chev.

I will try to post these doc's.

[JoeC]

What is the date on that window sticker? If it is very late in 1969 maybe the car was given a low price to move it after the high cost of insurance started to cause problems for Yenko sales.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

There are no dates on the window stickers, but the bill of sale from Yenko to Bob Johnson Chev. is dated July 3, 1969.

[Unreal]

This is somewhat off topic, for this thread, but on topic for a proevious discussion regarding the meaning of sYc.

Note the window sticker for the 67 lists the company as Yenko Sportscars Inc, while the car is referred to as a "Yenko Super Camaro"

[James Berry]

Marlin, my Chevelle is getting close. I put the body on the frame the day before I came to the reunion. (It has about 2,800 hours in it now.) I plan on having it at next years reunion.
To answer your other queston, tons of paperwork, thanks to the folks on this sight I was able to find the orginal owner, who had kept everything!!
By the way I stopped in Nashville to see Cliff, he was just finishing a 427 green Nova. Have you herd about?

[Belair62]

James,I may have missed it somewhere so can you please post more info on your Chevelle ? Color,etc....etc...

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

James;
What color green was the Nova that Cliff was working on, Fathom Green or Rallye Green?
M

[James Berry]

Marlin, it is Fathom Green, Black interior, Black vinal top and a 427. I fell in love with this one. When I get my pictures back I will E-Mail you some copies. He also has his Red Deuce in Chevy High Performance magazine.
