Barrett Jackson 69 Yenko Camaro sold?

[bkhpah]

I heard there was a Rally Green Yenko Camaro sold at B/J for 125,000.00....Anyone know about this one?...BKH

[Charley Lillard]

There was no 69 Yenko there. 67 Nickey and the 70 Deuce was about it. Camaro's were very weak. 68 RS Z, Black with the wrong engine sold for 30K. 69 L89 Chevelle with no paperwork and a 325 hp tach was a no sale at about 45K. I met a guy selling his Camaro 30th Anniversary Camaro to try and buy the Nickey for 110,000. Arrgh.

Mike Grey was at the auction and he told me that he saw the Yenko sell. Something seems wrong...BKH

[Charley Lillard]

I must be on Crack then. I never saw or even heard of one there. Mike....Where was it parked ? I will go to the auction results page and see if it's there.

[NWYENKO]

Maybe there was a Yenko aat the other auction that was going on at the same time. I was there and talked to a bunch of guys and there was never a mention of a '69 Yenko. The only Yenko I saw or heard of was the Deuce (of which we are now the proud owners. Whether or not Charley was on something, that would be a seperate topic for discussion especially after watching him take pictures of the screws holding the '68 together!!

[Charley Lillard]

Hey, they were cool screws..... I went to Jackson's page and there were only 4 69 Camaro's listed,3 were Z28's and One Pace Car. Maybe Mike is on Crack. If you like cars in General, it really is a show to see. We were almost drunk enough to Bid on a 70 Firebird concept car that sold for about 65,000.

Brian,
I have to "back up" what the other guys said. I did not see a Rally Green 1969 Yenko Camaro at Barrett. I walked the show tents numerous times and the only "Super Cars" that I saw were the Red Deuce, the "Nickey" Camaro, and the Z-16 Chevelle. The guys were right, it was a light showing. I would have liked to have met the other guys from the club, maybe next year we can all meet somewhere.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Did you guys buy any cars, other than Jim buying the '70 Yenko Nova?

[Charley Lillard]

I bought nothing except Hot Link Sandwiches. I have No Mo Money. I'm even toying with the idea of putting the Deuce on Ebay. I saw that 67 RS, these are Nutty times.

[NWYENKO]

Don't forget that the guy that bought the RS also had to pay a bidder commision of $1680 bringing the real cost of the car to $22680. The wife said I have to part with our '69 Z28 which we have had 12 years. It is gorgeous non number matching DZ302. Anybody interested at $23000? Charley maybe you could put together a package for EBAY.

[Charley Lillard]

"The Wife Said" I'm gonna tell her you said that.

[micky69396]

Who listens to what "the wife" says. OK got to go take the trash out now.

[Belair62]

Don't shoot me but I would bet with the market being as it is,the many clones out there will look attractive now to some...I can see them getting a boost in stock.

[bowtie3168]

Marlin,
My heart said buy the Z-16, but, my wallet said NO!!! I did not make any purchases. I love the auction but I think that the prices are way too high. Someone paid $21,000 for a 1967 Gold RS Camaro with a 2bbl 327. I think that the market has been doing too well and there is too much spendable income out there. I hope that the economy stays strong ,but, some of the prices are way too silly.

I think you are right because these great cars are out of reach, price wise, for the average person. Unless you can find a sleeper somewhere. A clone car is an option but just not a good one, in my opinion.

MikeA

[Belair62]

Not the best option but...when you go to a cruise night there is very little chance of seeing a real one pull up with the kids piled in. I personally have a clone car and it's the most fun you can have with your pants on !!! My real stuff can't come out and get ice cream on the seats and heaven forbid the tires should get dirty !!! As long as you tell the truth when people inquire I think it's o.k.
