69 Yenko Camaro prices

[HoosierDaddy]

Can someone give me an idea of how much a 69 Yenko camaro is worth? It has really nice paint,excellent original interior(could use package tray). Has wrong gauges and has very nice wood grain wheel. Under carriage and engine compartment need to be detailed. A numbers matching car. Thanks for your help!

John;
Put it on EBAY with a $1,000,000 reserve and see what it goes to, its a good idea to make a list of the high bidders and see if they are serious contenders.

Nankivell car? Been to Greenwood many times - not much there, don't remember hearing about this car - must be hiding it http://www.yenko.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

Autoinsane, couldn't get link to work but if this is the Lemans Blue car at Russo Steele, it sold for $74500 without number matching drive train and incorrect stripes. The '67 sold at Barrett Jackson for $110k. Somewhere in thes threads there was a '69 16500 mi. car that sold for $90k or $95k.

Yenko Deuce Registry; sorry you weren't that impressed with Greenwood. Did you go to the Suds(a root beer joint that has alot of cars on saturday night)? I don't bring the car out as much as I use to. $1,000,000 and write down the top bidders?

[AutoInsane]

NW... You are right, it is the car from the Russo and Steele auction.

If you bring up the link.... just 'backspace' and remove the < p > on the end of the web adress you can bring up the site (never know why i get the < p > )

I've been there several times for business trips, so didn't have time to check out the local cruise scene. I'd spend my lunch hours driving around looking for cars, talking to that big chevy dealership - Hubler?? - who bought out Nankivell back in the mid '70's. Also, checked out some classic car dealership south of G-wood.

Typical trip was to fly in late, drive around looking for cars till 2am, work all day, drive to Chicago, talk Yenkos with Cunneen, get back to Greenwood at 4am, work all day, fly back to PA! Just never ran into anyone who knew anything about a Yenko Camaro in the area.

Putting a car on EBAY with a huge reserve is a way of finding out what the car gets bid up to, without running the risk of it hitting the $1,000,000 reserve. Then if you do want to sell the car, contact a few of the high bidders to see if they are serious. Basically, using EBAY as cheap advertising because of it's coverage of the country/world.

Tell us about your car, color, trans type, orig. dealer, ect...

The car is r, green/white stripes. X44. 4 speed. Nankivell Chevy. Always been a south side of Indy car.I'm the third owner.I've owned it for about 15 years. I was just wanting to get an idea of what my car might be worth. A few days after the 67 went for $110,000 I got some phone calls asking if my car might be for sale. I was curious. I'll have to think it over.

Are you a UPS driver by chance?...BKH

[HoosierDaddy]

Why would you ask that? Do you want to drive the BIG BROWN TRUCK? Dale Jarrett doesn't!!!!

[bkhpah]

Met a guy at Indy Super Chevy about ten years ago that had a Rally Green Yenko that worked for UPS...BKH

[bkhpah]

Just pulled out an old issue of All Chevy magazine, June 93. Stated that the owner Chris Edwards is a UPS driver. Is that info all wrong? You had the car at SC Indy under the big circus tent along with Dan Bodner's Yellow Yenko and many others...BKH

[HoosierDaddy]

Yes, I work for UPS. I had it at Super Chevy in Indy about 10 or 12 years ago. I haven't been back at Super Chevy since. I think Mick Price put that gathering together. Alot of nice people and real nice cars. That's my car in All Chevy magazine. The pictures make the car look darker than it really is. The photographer couldn't understand why it came up looking so dark. When he first saw it he was excited about it.He really liked the bright green with white stripes. It was almost 2 years before it came out in a mag. As far as I know that's the only mag it has been in. It was in some muscle car trading cards I do believe. I don't follow the hobby as much as I use to, but when I got phone calls lately from people wanting to know if I might sell it, I thought I should investigate the situation. From the e-mails I've gotten alot of people want Yenkos. I might try and find a copy of an appraisal that Edward Cunneen did on the car. I think you can believe what Mr. Cunneen has to say about a car. Later!!

bkhpah, I now have the 69 Yellow Yenko that belonged to Dan Bodner. I visited with him just before Christmas and he was going to send me copies of the old Super 8 films of the car running at Keystone Raceway when Anthony Mandella owned it. A tragic event happen on Dec.26th,he only son was killed in a automobile accident on the way to a job. I have been in touch with him since and he is really taking it hard (as I would also do, as I only have one child, a son). The Lord blessed Don with a daughter also and she is still living at home. He really loved that Yenko. He still plays with street rods.

[bkhpah]

Was at the funeral, Dan is a good friend. We worked on Dan's car a few years ago, Changed exhaust, rear gearing, tire, wheels etc. It was owned at that time by a fellow in Philly. He said he had spoken to the new owner at the funeral. Call me if you want to learn more of what we found...BKH

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Stock #9607?? 03B build date??

We knew the car was out there in Indy, just didn't know it was in G-Wood. Ever race it at Bunker Hill??

Sorry to hear of the passing of Dan's son. I talked to Dan a few times, seemed like a very nice fellow. I seen his Yenko at Keystone and also P.I.D. (Pittsburgh International Dragway) back in 1969, can't remember to much about it, I think they original owner had rubbed the side stripes off? Strange thing, Brian H. was at Keystone drag strip on its opening day in 1967 with his father and I was running a 1965 442, made it to the trophy and was beaten by a 1967 Chevelle SS convertible. (Maroon with white top) funny, I can remember what happened 35 years ago but can't remember what happened 35 minutes ago! Its hell to get old!

[bkhpah]

I've seen the Bodnar films of the car at Keystone. The decals were removed because Yenko would not warrenty his transmissions anymore after they found out he was breaking them at the drag strip. I think the owner felt it was free advertisment for Yenko. Was told that the first M21 only lasted a day. Mark Kickles car, my old Yenko and Dans car were all consecutive body numbers. Both Dans and mine were sold new at Yenko, Marks was sold from Grossman's. We always thought that was kind of neat to have three cars still together that close...BKH
