Manufacturer's Suggested Price

[James Berry]

I was wondering what the manufacturer's suggested price on Yenko's were. I have a window sticker off of a 1969 Camaro which list it at 4245.00 before any charges. Were all the Camaros the same? How about Chevelles, how much would they sticker for? I would also like to hear from you Nova guys. I never have paid sticker for a new car but if any of you would like to sell one for its sticker price give me a call!!!

James;
The Yenko window stickers' base prices were consistent within the particular models, but obviously the option combinations dictated the final sticker price. Most original owners did not pay the sticker price, but some of the first cars available did command the full sticker price, in both '69 and '70.

The '69 Yenko Camaro base price was $4,245, and with the required AM Radio option of $61.10 had an adjusted base price of $4,306.10.

The '69 Yenko Chevelle base price was $3,980, and with the required AM Radio option of $61.10, and SS hood, grill, rear panel... option of $150.00, had an adjusted base price of $4,191.10.

The '69 Yenko Nova base price is unknown. The '67 and '68 Yenko Camaro base prices are also unknown, and probably were not consistent in terms of prices since they were transplant cars.

The '70 Yenko Nova had a base price of $4,395, this included the required AM Radio and ZJ3-Special Interior options. Interesting to see that the small block Nova had a higher adj. base price than the '69 big block cars.

When will you get started on your Yenko Chevelle project??

Denis;
I'm curious to know what you are basing the $4,245 on. We know that the prices on the '67 Yenko Camaros ranged from a base price low of $2,572, to an optioned out high of $5,242.08. We also know that the optioned price of many of the '67 Yenko Camaros was lower than $4,245. For example, some cars were in the $4,020 range and were usually the 410hp automatic cars, however, most cars were in the mid $4,200 range, and were the 450hp 4speed cars.

I know that there are some window stickers floating around for the '67's, if you have one could you make me a copy?

I know of a Garnet Red Yenko Chevelle that had a sticker price of $4,481.32 and sold for $4,181.32 . It was a 4sp with bench seat car. The 30K LeMans blue Yenko Chevelle sold for $5,018.13 and is "loaded" for a Yenko with AM radio, PS ,TH400, bench seats, and rear mt antenna.

Denis;
Thanks for pics, I see where the $4,245 comes from now. Interesting that it conflicts with Yenko's records. I can only speculate that the difference may have been his gross margin. We have some paperwork on a '67 Y-Camaro that actually started with a base price of $2,572, and the options drove it over $5k. Overall, it seems that the base prices on the various models' window stickers are fairly consistent. I hope this answers James initial post.



I think the base prices are easier established than the optioned prices, and it would be interesting to see which car, with paperwork (either window sticker or bill of sale), was the highest priced for each model/year.

Denis has the dollar amount for the '67s;
'67 Yenko Camaro $5,121.75.

I have Bill Hunter's window sticker for his;
'69 Yenko Camaro at $4,381.65.

JoeC's example for;
'69 Yenko Chevelle at $4,481.32.

I have my bill of sale for;
'70 Yenko Nova at $4,509.10.

Any more???

The 30K mile LeMans blue Yenko Chevelle at SCR4 sold for $5,018.13 with AM radio, PS ,TH400, bucket seats, and rear mt antenna. The car may have had other options installed by Yenko or by the selling dealer. It has a chrome bullet type mirror on it that looks like one in the Yenko catalog called a Talbot Racing Mirror and has a Camaro rear spoiler.

We bought our COPO Chevelle new and it listed for $4436 CDN. The COPO 9566AA option was $649 CDN. I see where someone got charged $150 for the SS hood and black out front and rear end treatment. Three of us bought COPO cars new at the same dealer and they all came with the SS hood and blackout treatment as part of the package. My GM documentation does not show this as a separate package. The D96 stripe was a $36 CDN option however and one of the cars didn't have it. Just a little extra info for comparison sake.
