Default Yenkos for sale in the classifieds back in the day

Thought the folks here would get a kick out of these ads for Yenko cars back in the day. These are all from the NY Times back in around 1970 or 1971. There's even three private party ads. I can hear the digits being dialed already

If only there was such a thing as a time machine. I would be first in line to use it, and set it for the late 60's.

Late 60's and buy the 2 Grand sport corvettes for 5000 each and then a few ZL-1's... to put into plastic bubbles... or maybe just pick up some Berkshire Hathaway... then buy everything you wanted to buy now at current prices and still have enough change to buy a few hundred acres beside Teddy and the clan down in Florida... LOL

It's amazing a Yenko Camaro ended up in Saranac Lake. I went to college up there in 75 after being with Uncle Sam. All I recall there in the snow belt were pickup trucks and snowmobiles.
