Yenko YS 8051 is in their inventory. Beautiful is not a good enough word.

[Racefan]

WOW! Very cool car, wish I could afford it!

[mockingbird812]

Yeah, I'm at a loss for words too. How 'bout: Ouch! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Wow, I did not realize the 68's had passed the 69's in asking price. Charley, I remember your '68 that was advertised on this site at ~$65K several years ago.

I'm diggin' on that `69 Cortez Silver Nova with the...*ahem*...396/350HP motor. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

That thing sounds sweeeeet http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My favorite year Yenko. Love to own the car, but...

Bob Harris restored and looks fantastic.

Been talking to LMC about it, probably after BJ it will seem reasonable, LOL. Theses prices, geez...

[PeteLeathersac]

Wow....beautiful! . I really like that '69 Trans-am Camaro also that '74 T/A Super Duty too! . Anyone else see that note in the recent Hipo Pontiac mag about aluminum SD motors being built....anyone know of any? . Prices....wow w/ BJ also a lot of cars coming available lately, it's sure a slippery slope! ~ Pete

Has anyone seen this sticker on a rear end cover before ? http://www.legendarymotorcar.com/inventory/images/cars/7023_24.jpg

[Rick H]

I know that Yenko very very well. Watched it evolve into one of the finest cars I have ever seen.

Absolutely gorgeous in person.

YS 8051 is the Yenko Bill Wertheim, Beaumont Bill, had restored recently by Camaro Specialties. It is probably the nicest 68 Yenko in the country.

Looks like a valve cover sticker.

The sticker is for the Buffalo built rearend. They normally fell off shortly after arrival delivery.

Buffalo as in Tonowanda? I did not know they made rears... thought only engine... interesting! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Don_Lightfoot]

I have also seen this car up close and personal. It is indeed outstanding.

Bill posted the following about selling the car on another site.

Yes, sad to say , but that "was" my Yenko that is now at Legendary Motorcar. While I was restoring it for over five years
I certainly never thought I would need to sell it after it was done.Believe me it was gut wrenching having to let it go.I had a business opportunity come about that was too important to my family and my future to let pass. Hopefully
I will be taking a small step backward inorder to take a huge step forward later. I am obviously bias, but I believe it to be as nice a yenko as exists. I can't thank the guys at Camaro Specialties enough for the amazing job they did on the car.Bob Harris and the guys proved they are a world class orginization.
I also was lucky enough to become friends with Chuck Huber
through many talks and lessons and I can't thank him enough. Ofcourse I also met Tim Lopata through my dealings with the Yenko and gained his valuable input as well as friendship. The list could go on and on of the great people the Yenko led me to meet;especially from this website. During the time I showed it this year it won several major awards and I got to spend several family vacations showing it around the country. For now I'll play with the Acadian and wax the Beaumonts and I'll have to admire the supercars from afar. I guess I'll be the guy with the wierd Canadian cars next year at the Forge. Who knows, maybe sometime in the future you'll be calling me Baldwin Motion Bill. Thanks again to anyone that helped me with the car and obviously anyone who is interested in it I will be glad to answer any questions you might have.

Wish you called me last could have brought you a little more for your future !

But that axle wasn't built in Buffalo. It was built in Detroit. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Rick H]

As far as I was told the rearend gear set are Buffalo.

[Stuart Adams]

Did anyone here judge this car at Carlisle?

[Steve Shauger]

It was judged in the Bowtie class, which is a qualifier for the concours class.

[Kurt S]

It was built in Detroit, axle code confirms it. Never seen a first gen with a Buffalo axle. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Mr70]

I've never seen that before,so I'm anxious to see photos of vehicles showing it down there when they were new.
Can anyone guide me to those?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

It's a valve cover decal, get it off the rear cover http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

It's not a rear cover decal either!
