Did the Preston & Lawrence Yenko do $270K? Nice oem paint car but not much in successful race history, national event wins, or world championship titles.

Are you implying this car is not/was not recognized as a famous Yenko sponsored race car?

If so then you are making a rediculous statement. The Preston & Lawrence Yenko is one of the only photographed and documented Yenko Camaros in Yenko published advertising, and probably the second most famous Yenko race car next to Ed Hedrick's car. It is even pictured in the opening pages of the Yenko Parts Catalog. I would rank it in the top 5 most desireable Yenko Camaros on the planet, I doubt I'm alone in that thought. If it I'd say it was one of the better buys of the auction.

Joey, if I am not mistaking, the original Ed Hendrick car has not been found yet right?

camarojoe · #**117** 01-19-2009, 01:23 AM

You are correct. It's never been located.

RIGHT OUT THE BLOCKS B&L TRYED TO EXPALIN WHAT HAPPENED WITHT THE GREEN ZL/1 HIS EXPLAINTION WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS SO LOW THAT REGGIE SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO BID BUD IN ORDER TO DO SO HAD TO GO THE FLOOR TO BID. AND IN FACT REGGIE HAD OWNED THE CAR AT ONE TIME.

I saw that, and Mike Joy left out the part about Reggie withdrawing his final bid when it appeared he might actually be high bidder....pretty important piece of info, don't you think?

I did not see the original auction, so I'm assuming the accounting of it on this thread is true. If not true, I withdraw my criticism.

Everyone, including Ed, has been looking for his old racecar, with no success. Unless restored, would be pretty easy ID, as Ed made some pretty drastic/obvious changes.

IMO, THE most desireable Yenko, not only because it was a Yenko sponsored racecar, but because class Ed is such a class guy. He is all the time emailing Rob racing tips. Really cool to get tips from someone who ran with the Grump.
