Re: E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!
I think this car will turn out to be worth it at the end of the day. It could be restored as a yenko (if most of the body build date codes make sense), and would not be a clone.
That would be pretty cool based on the purchase price versus a no question asked yenko. I would call it something in between the real deal and a clone. And over time, who knows what will present itself for purchase (the orignal engine, the tags, etc).
It is funny if this car, turns out to have more original sheetmetal in it, versus a car that had a rebody done around an original firewall. What can be really valueable to this cars value, is who will be present when the body is stripped to authenticate it. Jerry M should be there, Steve from the vintage judging should be there, Kurt from camaros.org should be there in my mind. The beer would have to be really good for that to happen.
Then the body could wear yenko stripes with pride.
