2003 Barrett-Jackson Who Is Going?

[70 copo]

Almost time for the biggest Auction on the planet..add in the Russo-Steele and it is quite an event. This year at the Barrett opening gala is Ole-Shell's Birthday party. I am already in. Who's going? Hint-Holub's bringing the pizza, Hassett is bringing the dough, Lillard says he's bringing golf clubs /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

[69rsss350]

I am going, would be nice to meet some of you guys. /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

[NWYENKO]

We are going. Will be at the Russo Steele auction also. Need to devise a plan to recognize each other. Charley is always easy to spot in a crowd but for the rest of us maybe we should wear our new Yenko shirts Kevin got for us. /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif Jim

[Denis]

I'll be there Thursday-Sunday with my wife, planning to drive back in an RV we're picking up down there. Look for me at the bidder's bar;)

[70 copo]

On the Meeting place-What do you guys think of 8:30PM (Gala) at the bidder's Bar? Now- who will be the guy to hold the sYc sign? /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif

-----As I am going down to the Russo+Steele auction it would be a treat to meet up with some of you guys.Ill be easy to find as "Red Alert" is entered in the Russo+Steele auction.Not sure which day yet,but Ill be there the Monday before.
-----As an aside:The 20 mile LS-6 will be there as well.If you dont know the car,its red w/black bench gut,auto.Miles are real(20).Ive known this car and its owners for well over twenty years,and it is undoubtably the best unrestored Chevelle extant.
-----Buy the pair.Life is short!!!!!!......Bill S....ol red!

[Stefano]

Do you think $400,000.00 will buy the pair of LS6s?

[olredalert]

Stefano,

-------Believe it or not you are pretty close,if what I have heard about the reserve on the 20 mile car is correct.........Bill S.....ol red!

[hvychev]

Stefano is this the LS6 that was discussed a few months back on the board? The one that had only a couple miles on it like this that had the smog removed with only 20 miles on it along with other "fluffing". I think it was said that the plastic was on the seats still but the smog thing seemed strange.

[redeuce]

Bill,
Red Alert is finally posted on the Russo and Steele website- Lot #360.
Randy

[Mr70]

Yes Frank.
Thats the same Chevelle.

[70 copo]

If there is enough interest I will contact Barrett to see if we can get one of the 16 person tables reserved for Wednesday evening. For those of you not bidding we might be able to scrounge up some additional gala passes from the other bidders-if there are extras. /ubbthreads/images/icons/ooo.gif

[NWYENKO]

Count us in!! Who is going to Russo Steele Gala on Thurs P.M.?/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif Jim

[olredalert]

Frank,

------Plastic was never on the seats of the 20 mile car that I know of,but you are right about the smog.I would have thought the current owner would have replaced the smog by now.I rode in that car from 12 miles up to about 18 back in 1980 app.I think the car was at another auction a while back,but the reserve was way too high.It was bid up into the $300,000 area,and I was assured the bidding was real.
------Looking forward to putting some faces to names in January............Bill S.....ol red!

[NWYENKO]

Any update on getting together? Talked to Crawford this week and sounds like he and Holub are going. We will be at the Gala Wed at Barrett Jackson and Thurs night at Russo Steele. We had a great time at the Russo Steele auction last year. Drew and Josephine really did a nice job. /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif Jim

[Souperhigh]

I will be there for the Kruse the week before and will stay for the Silver and RM and through Barrett-Jackson and Russo-Steele.Will be coming in on the 9th.See you guys there

[Jeff H]

Hey, you guys do your best to keep the prices up, I don't want the value of my car dropping now that I have everything tied up in it. /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif I'll be watching on my black and white tv if I can get the rabbit ears working!

[70 copo]

Maurice,

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing all of you there. Not enough for the table yet. Bidders bar still looks to be the place.

[Norm reynolds]

I see that Reggie Jacksons dover white ZL-1 Lot # 695 is going on the block
Also lot # 714 68 yenko camaro # 715 69 yenko chevelle # 716 70 yenko deuce
And lot # 776 68 camaro yenko YS # 8013 /ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif


Norm

[70 copo]

Norm,

Correct. As I recall speaking to Rick of Reggie's cars in the spring of 02, that Reggie's entire collection of Yenkos was for sale for U.S.$1 million (as a set only) at that time.

The auction will surely prove a good indicator of where Yenkos are valued in todays market when these cars cross the block.

[NWYENKO]

Am curious how much stage time he gets to pump his cars. Last year the COPO bidding stalled and he talked it up and the bidding went higher! Will these cars sell for more since they are "Reggie's"? I think those #'s will be on Sat night which will be televised. I thought he sold the white ZL1 a year ago at the Monterrey auction. Jim

[Norm reynolds]

It does not say the ZL-1 was Reggies
But the picture looks like Reggies garage and in the ZL-1 registry
Shows Reggie has a dover white ZL-1 I think he still owns it
Norm

[Norm reynolds]

Here is a picture of Reggies shop it is the same you can see the ZL-1 in the back round
Norm

[Charley Lillard]

Reggie had 2 white ZL1's. The one that sold at the Petersen Museum auction had black interior. The one he is putting in this auction is the Old Lamar Walden ZL1 with Blue interior that matches the COPO tht I believe Patrick just bought ?

[PATRICKJOINER]

Charlie;
I believe you are correct that the ZL1 Reggie owns & will be at Barrett Jackson is the former Lamar Walden car. I DID own the COPO Lamar raced. I was made one of those "offers I couldn't refuse" so it has a new residence.

The BJ site has an interesting description on the blue 68 Yenko that raises a few questions. Not sure what they mean by "1 of 7 Super Sport" and it looks like they are saying the reverse lockout shifter was installed by Yenko?
Not sure who Greg Jefferies is but does he really "authenticate" Yenkos? Is he a member here?

quote from BJ...
"THIS IS A FULLY DOCUMENTED 1968 CAMARO SUPER SPORT YENKO. YENKO# YS8013. THIS IS CAR NUMBER 13 OF 65 PRODUCED IN 1968 AND THIS IS 1 OF 7 SUPER SPORT MODELS PRODUCED IN 1968. CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 427 CU IN ENGINE PRODUCING 450 HP PLUS. IT IS A 4-SPEED CAR WITH REVERSE LOCKOUT HANDLE. REAR END IS 4:10 POSI TRACTION. THIS CAR IS CORRECT IN EVERY WAY AND WAS OWNED BY TWO OF THE MOST PROMINENT YENKO CLUB MEMBERS. HAS BEEN AUTHENTICATED BY GREG JEFFERIES. CAR IS RESTORED TO ORIGINAL. STUNNING PIECE."

[MotownMadman]

Is this the same Yenko that was won in that contest a few years back? Motown /ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif

[JoeC]

No, the raffle car was dark blue

[NWYENKO]

Maybe we should set up a pool and everyone enter what they believe the selling prices will be for the Supercars!! /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif Jim

[resto4u]

I believe the ys#8013 is the yenko that was on ebay recently. It was owned by a car dealer in california. Roger

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Does any of the attendees know when the various Yenko's and COPO's are going through the auction?

[NWYENKO]

Marlin, you can go to the Barrett Jackson website and see the list by day. My guess is that these cars will be a primetime Fri or Sat night. Speed Channel has expanded its coverage to include both Fri and Sat night. We are on our way over there today. Hope to see some of you guys tonight. Jim /ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif

[CWilliams]

Does speed channel cover other than Friday and Saturday?

[SS427]

Per their web site, this is all I have seen. I know of no other coverage. Bring lots of beer and popcorn to the recliner. /ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif

Friday, January 17th & Saturday, January 18th
Speed Channel TV Coverage
4pm to 9pm MST Friday
2pm to 7pm MST Saturday

[JoeC]

I am interested in the numbers from the Yenko Chevelle if they are available without getting hit with baseball bat.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Whose bat?
