Red Yenko on Ebay

[Jeff H]

Yeah, I'm kicking myself now. I saw this car in a dealer showroom in Lancaster about 5-6 years ago and never stopped for a closer look because I knew they didn't make any red Yenko Camaros in 69 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif. I think I had just bought my JL8 from Charley so I didn't have any money at the time so it might not have mattered. I guess I can consider it a lost opportunity to own a Yenko. As Homer would say, DOH!

Beautiful car! Is that torque strap on the driver's side factory for a COPO car or is that an owner add on?

[Chevy454]

I've got friends/family up in the St.Charles/St.Peters area...and you're just across the river from SCR8! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif So, you gonna have any cars in O'Fallon or just the studio?

[Rick H]

Beautiful car but I didn't think you could get a rear mounted antenna with the rear spoiler? Is it dealer or owner installed?

Still a very nice car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Steve Shauger]

That car is not very correct, the least of which is the incorrect antenna location.

[Charley Lillard]

It might have a bunch of stuff wrong but apparently it still is a real Yenko. You could probably throw 20K at it and have it looking pretty correct and end up with a Lemans Blue 69 Yenko Camaro. Or leave it alone and play with it.

[MWCLASSIC]

FOR NOW JUST SHOOTING CARS AND SELLING THEM BUT I,M SURE I WILL HAVE TO PUT TOGETHER SOME KIND OF CAR,

[Mr Yenko]

If you haven't noticed it is the earliest X-11 Yenko that has been found.All the X-11 yenkos that have been found are 03B cars.Hope someone does this car Justice.The "MOF" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Nice car,and nice presentation, but the CAPS LOCK BUTTON NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Man that makes it difficult to read!

[Belair62]

Quick qustion MW...do you have hair ? If not...Ken Pascoe has a source for NOS.

[Canucklehead]

So how much does the color change effect the resale price?, and how much of a difference would it make if you make it correct as far as the right parts are concerned?

[MWCLASSIC]

I HAVE TO BE HONEST I REALLY DO NOT KNOW IF THE TORQUE STRAP IS ORIGINAL FOR A COPO THIS IS THE WAY THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. SAME THING WITH THE ANTENNA. THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS. JIM

[MWCLASSIC]

Hi Bob:Yes I do have hair although I am a little light on top.Believe it of not ken has hair too. He just chose the Kojak look. Jim

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

If the buyer plans to do a frame off anyway, the color change is nothin. Otherwise, it's more of a pita thing, explaining why it's red, s/b blue, yada yada... In this market, I don't think it effects it a bit.

[Mr70]

Those Redlines look killer next to that paint!

[Belair62]

They would look nice next to Lemans Blue too....

[Jeff H]

Heck, I'd just leave the car red and let people tell you it's not a real Yenko because they never made them in red. Then you could point out that it's on the known list of Yenko VINs.

[skierkaj]

I can just hear it rumbling through that chambered exhaust!

[Unreal]

Did any of the early Yenkos come with chambered exhaust?

[Canucklehead]

I think it looks good in red. It is interesting that being a real yenko that people are going to question the red, in your face when they find out it's real. If color changes don't really make a difference in resale and someone does a color change during resto, it would be nice to see an original in black

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Still wouldnt be original in black but it would like neat with white stripes

[Mr. T]

Top bid: $135,000
Reserve not met
Auction has ended

We have not seen the last of this Yenko.

[Canucklehead]

$135 is a good price for this car considering it's not correct. Wonder what he really wants
