<span style="font-weight: bold">Lets see bergy on 8/16 you had this to say about the car:</span>

I actually parked right next to that car at a show in Intercourse (no kidding), PA last month! I was so intrigued by it (140 mph speedo, single 3/8 fuel line,etc) that I called Bob Harris from the show to discuss it. We decided that it may be a copo, but there were a ton of wrong things as well. I even told the owner that he may have a very valuable car on his hands and he should contact Jerry. Arghhhhhh - shoulda, coulda


<span style="font-weight: bold">Then on 8/17 you felt this way:</span>

The owner was a very nice guy, and I was really trying to help him - not buy a copo cheap. I told him that the speedo was from a very valuable car and he should call JM to have him look at it. There were some good signs of it being a copo, but the rear was wrong, radiator, heater box, etc. When I saw that the firewall wasn't pierced for the cowl hood wiring - it looked un-copo like. My bad (really bad)!


<span style="font-weight: bold">Then on 8/28 after careful inspection you felt this way :</span>

I just returned from inspecting the car. It is not sold and the vin tag does not match the body stamps. The owner is a great guy and is honest as the day is long. He bought the car in March and he just wanted to drive it for the Summer and then re-sell it. To him, it was just a Z28 clone with great paint and a great sound. Right now, he just wants to get his 25k back out of the car. Frankly, 25k is a stretch - except for that pesky vin tag and the original 140 mph inst carrier. If anyone wants to buy the car and then try to find the original body - contact me. The body vin is 587974 - finding that car may provide a clue to where the orignal body is. The owner isn't a car guy and doesn't want to be bugged with a lot of questions that he can't answer. There's nothing in it for me - just trying to help a friend. Maybe you folks out there in the SYC community feel the same way. Thanks, bergy

<span style="font-weight: bold">Then on 10/6 you posted you purchased the car after another thorough inspection and concluded the following:</span>

Just a quick update on this car - I inspected it very thoroughly and it had just enough copo attributes that I decided to buy it. Tank has never been out of the car and it has an original single 3/8 fuel line &amp; sending unit plus many other little things. A few things that realy bugged me about the car have been resolved. The tail pan didn't have the extra muonting holes, but I now have old photos from the guy who painted it showing him in the process of replacing the pan. Obviously, the donor body stamp on the cowl needs to be cleared up. I can see that there is a lot of welding around the cowl section though. I was able to speak to the brother of the person who last registered the donor vin (the vin stamped on the cowl) and he told me that the car was in a bad wreck with a logging truck back in 1981 (the car hasn't been registered since then). It was totaled in the rear and the only thing salvagable was doors forward. The car that I have has original, unrepaired rear frame rails. So - I'm encouraged that someone salvaged the firewall out of the donor car and put it on the Yenko for some reason. Still searching for the rest of the pieces of the puzzle. I'm taking tons of photo documentation and certifying statements from everyone that provides data. Thanks to those who have PM'd me info and leads.
