Default Re: Interesting Collection...

.....Neat article....

"It may come as a surprise that his favorite car in the vast collection is not a convertible but an orange 1969 Camaro coupe built by Yenko, a muscle car tuner shop of the era. The Camaro still has the correct 427-cubic-inch V-8 and 4-speed Muncie transmission.

“It’s real rare to find a Yenko with its original engine,” he said. “It’s real fast, real showy, and every time I take that to a show the crowds are around it.”

While an authentic Yenko Camaro like this can bring more than $300,000 at auction, Mr. Albaugh said he believed that the most valuable of his cars was a 1953 Corvette, one of only 300 made. "
