Pair of Yenko's on the block at Mecum Today
 

FROM THE CLIFF ERNST COLLECTION

A couple nice cars coming up at Mecum today. Any guess on what they will bring when the gavel falls? I'm curious to see how strong the market is on this pair. Lots of other nice cars coming up today including another COPO, a ZL1 car, some heavy weight Hemi cars, Shelby's, a Cobra Jet car, L78 Nova and a gorgeous LS6 (Lellow) Chevelle :naughty:

COPO 9561 427/425 HP L72 V-8 engine COPO 9737 Sports Car Conversion Package estimated between $295K and $325K

1970 CHEVROLET YENKO DEUCE LT1 350/360 HP, 1 of 175 Produced estimated between $135K and $155K

LB Yenko went yesterday for $330k, DY car didnt sell at 245K and the HO went for 212.5K. Id say since the yellow previous Ernst car will go around 300k

Did the Johnnie Norell COPO car sell?

If you are referring to the 1969 ZL1 - no it didn't sell - bid to $550,000.

Or are you referring to a Hugger Orange COPO Camaro which didn't sell at $155,000

1970 Auto: $42,000 (sold)

1969 4 speed: $66,000 (sold)

I watched most of yesterdays cars go across the block. The real deal rare pedigree cars held very strong but in my opinion it appeared the more common cars like the Z/28, Nova's and Mustang's have seen a softening in the market as prices were down across the board.

Unless it had an LS6, 429 CJ, Stage 2, or 427 under its hood, collectors weren't really buying it. Didn't seem like attendance was that strong to me either?

I Am referring to the unrestored A Stock 69 COPO camaro from Georgia.

Did the Deuce sell?

I don't see it. Are you referring to this car?
