Yenko/ZL1

[number77]

Have you guys heard of Yenko building 5 ZL1 Camaros? Ebay right now has this car.

It has raised letters cast into it, which gives some credibility, but I have personally never heard of this car.

Edit: I would also like to ask, what is it with all the ZL1's I see on ebay? Right now there are three of them on there. How many known fakes are out there, because it seems like these cars are constantly being exchanged. One of them is even titled "1969 COPO 9560 ZL-1 Camaro," but is then said to be, at the end of its description, to be a clone. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

That car has been discussed here before . The guy has a Camaro that someone put a Yenko block in. I don't think there are any records of how many of those blocks were made but I'm betting there were alot more than 5. So what you have a a block that is inferior to what you can get today, in a 69 Camaro. It is neat but kind of overhyped in order to get the value up.

Thanks for the quick response! To me it didn't seem logical(financially) to make a new casting for just 5 blocks.
