Are they auctioning of ( 5 ) Yenkos from the same collection....all to one bidder?
"This offering of one of each year and model from the Keith Hutson collection is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "

"Originally delivered with American Torq thrust rims"......whats up with that?? I thought Yenko Cast his own version(Knock off) of those rims. Is this True or are they incorrect?

Nope your right 12bolt. They were made by a local manufacturer called Atlas Inc.
The wheels were called Atlas Wheels. From what I have learned here, the wheels were made very poorly.

Thanks for your thoughts, If I could afford that many lottery tickets to win that much money I would be ok...no chance of that. It will be interesting to see how this plays out..........

I cannot think of a time when this many ...
.....or variety of Yenko's were offered at one auction
..
.....this will be an interesting auction
...
....especially if your the person from New Jersey that is holding the winning BIG GAME LOTTERY TICKET FOR $250,000,000

So who else is going to the auction? I''ll be working there driving some of the cars through

My club (Illinois Camaro Club) even gets paid to do it

Maybe I'll get to drive a few of the Yenkos
