Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

Hi, Yes I have been told there is a Yenko Convertible blue on blue with white stripes, Purchased new in California, I have yet to see car, He claims its all original with docs from day he bought it new. Have any information on how many made?????

My guess would be zero. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

There was a blue 69 "Yenko" Camaro Clone Convertible that showed with us at the Baltimore World of Wheels show back in '04 and '05 I believe. The owner did not represent the car as a real-deal. I believe he was calling it a "Tribute" car.

The builder spent a lot of money putting it together. I am sure I have pics of it from the show, so I will do some digging.

The car CLEARLY WAS NOT a real Yenko Camaro and as stated, the owner was not representing it as such.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out however I agree with most others on this forum, it doesn't exist.

With that said Yenko Chevrolet sold many more "plain jane" cars than they did Super Cars and I've seen many plain jane Chevrolet's from the late 60's early 70's running around the Canonsburg, Pa area with Yenko Chevrolet nameplates on the trunk. It could be that this Camaro was simply sold new at Yenko and not one of the conversion cars.

I am still trying to see this car, He claims its the real deal?????? He believes this car is worth more than his $600,000.00 house. Claims has all original docs, And he is the original owner, This car is not an easy buy, He will not sell car, I am in ???? on how to deal with guy.

I hope this pans out well for you,because the odds of this being authentic are worse then kwhizz sharing lunch with a lawyer during a union meeting.

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

Vodoo,

Are you trying to buy it? For more than $600k? Not sure what you are asking for help with.

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

I am trying to get any kind of information I can on a convertible Yenko being real, If all works out and its all #'s matching with original papers, Whats next for me, Looking for opinions, We all believe there is no convertible Yenkos?????? OR IS THERE???????????

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

I'll try again voodoo. What year is this car supposed to be?

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

Hi I am sorry, Its a 1969, Thanks!!!

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

Thanks. I would think that would make it even less likely. One could think that just maybe Yenko was talked into doing a '67 or '68 conversion car, but, a '69 COPO car?? Have you checked to see if it's the same one bashton talked about?

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

Vodoo, you need to get that paper documented/authenticated by someone on this board. people now days create bogus documentation to try and fool unsuspecting/uneducated buyers. there are plenty of people on this board with great Yenko knowledge. dropping 600K on anything you better have 100% clarity that this is the real deal. chevrolets seem to be the easiest car to fake/clone, so be very carefull.
as far as your negotiations with the owner how have you come apon a price of more than 600K when he hasnt even shown you the car yet? also, what does this mean?

"He will not sell car, I am in ???? on how to deal with guy."

At $600K, I'd recommend some serious security on your investment!

WOOPS!

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

These comments certainly may not have the impact the above pics Chris just posted do but I'd expect the chances are better that the discussed car may be a Motion or other conversion or as mentioned earlier if a Yenko it being a '67 or '68 427 conversion car more than any possibilities of a '69 factory 427 ragtop..

Although the closest thing ever produced by the factory may be the known '69 Copo coupe w/ the ragtop Vin, keep in mind when a '69 comes up we all just naturally expect it would have to be a factory built car...but shouldn't we at least admit there's a chance Yenko did an L72 conversion on a ragtop since he couldn't get one factory built?.
If a customer was waving the dough, why not...the factory not offering what a customer was willing to pay for sure didn't stop him in the preceeding two years?.

If it does happen to turn out to be a conversion on a '69 by Yenko, real paperwork, one off ragtop and all, the value is also important of when the conversion was done.. Remember that '69 coupe Yenko ZL1 converted in later years on a customer car using one of his own casting aluminum blocks (a red car wasn't it and one of the later 'crest style' blocks?).. The seller had the paperwork and all but I don't think anyone came near to what the guy wanted nor was it worth anywhere close to the value of a factory ZL1..

All I'm trying to say is never say never...even if you're not buying Vodoo and the owner isn't selling, if you check further into it we'd all sure like to know what the result is!.

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

Why don't you just buy a yenko at half the price and chop the top off, then you know its a real yenko!!!, just think of all the friends you would have here, being that you have the only one https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Re: Possible Yenko Camaro Convertible Found??????
 

If the guy thinks its worth more than his $600K house then he's obviously aware of what some rare supercars have brought at auctions like B-J. If the car was legit and he was trying to sell it, I can't imagine that he wouldn't try to get some exposure and sell the car "in the spotlight." On the other hand, if he was willing to deal with someone such as yourself who heard of the car through word of mouth, it would make me think that he's looking for a sucker.
