It has an LS-7 with a 4 speed and 4.88 gears. It was restored by Legendary Motorcars and then purchased by Ron Pratt.

Re: Supercar Photographs
Why are guys so afraid to run the mags these cars originally came with? Everyone is so worried someone will critize them for running old school wheels or Gosh worse yet, make it look like a knuckle dragger street machine. Idiots!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Supercar Photographs
There are a ton of pictures of this car on Legendary's website. There is an invoice from Baldwin Auto Company on their website showing all the optional equipment on the car. It lists Rally wheels, 454 LS-7, 4.88 H.D. gears and traction bars among other things as optional equipment and accessories. If it was originally delivered with other wheels they would have been noted on the invoice. I don't normally list a car's VIN, but this car was sold at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale in 2015 so the VIN is public knowledge. It is 124379N709326. Since the invoice with the Motion upgrades is through Baldwin that would lead me to believe it was bought new off the Baldwin lot with the Motion upgrades and indeed a Baldwin Motion car as opposed to a car that was bought somewhere else and upgraded at Motion later.

Re: Supercar Photographs
Thanks Myron, certainly a late build car and probably a "10E" tag. Would look better with some "SS" mags, and surprised the owner did not go for that upgrade given all the other options on the car, but perhaps cheaper to put some on himself on Day 2. I seriously doubt the car rode around on rally wheels for very long back in the day. Love all the pictures you post. Some amazing cars.

Re: Supercar Photographs

Re: Supercar Photographs
#130. This 70 Yenko Deuce is YS #7 and was sold new at Dick Watson in Williamston MI. It appears to be an older restoration and was bid to $100K but didn't sell. I have in my notes that it does not have it's original engine. I'm not sure about the transmission and rearend.

Re: Supercar Photographs
YS114 is for sale (again) on eBay. Ran to 87k NS last time.
|
Re: Supercar Photographs
That Deuce may have come out of Rantoul, Il. That one had the engine go south and was replaced with a 377 as much as I remember. I think the drivers door was replaced also. I knew the owner who has since passed ... TAZ

Re: Supercar Photographs
#131. This Yenko Chevelle is B406668 and was sold new at Grossman Chevrolet in Minneapolis MN. It was bid to $225K but didn't sell. I do not know how much of the drivetrain is original to the car. I believe this Chevelle was owned by Don Stowers back in the early 90's and was featured in several magazines. It didn't have a vinyl top back then, but according to the trim tag it is an original vinyl top car.

Re: Supercar Photographs
#132. This 69 Chevelle COPO was sold new at the Westminster Motor Company in Westminster MD. This is a - special paint car with a E Parchment top. According to the registry this car was originally Riverside Gold, but now it appears to be Matador Red. Maybe it's just the lighting, but it sure didn't look like Garnet Red to me. There wasn't any documentation with the car so I don't know what color this car was originally. Anyway it has a Parchment and black interior and is a radio delete car. There was no mention of how much of the drivetrain was original to the car either. I believe this car was previously owned by several members here so maybe they can chime in with some more information on it. At the auction this car was rear ended by a large 4x4 also out of the Ken Lingenfelter collection and the trunk lid ended up with a large dent. I believe this car sold for around $150K, but this car disappeared off the Mecum website so no results are provided.

Re: Supercar Photographs
#133. This 69 Yenko Camaro was sold new by Grossman Chevrolet in Minneapolis MN. It is a TH400 car and has a CE block. It is also an X44D80 car so I'm not sure why it has the STG added to it along with the blacked out tail panel. It sold at the auction for $225K. Legendary Motorcars had this Camaro for sale 10+ years ago.

Re: Supercar Photographs
#9N664141?

Re: Supercar Photographs
Yes, it is N664141. Sorry the trim tag picture isn't more clear. It looked good on my camera screen, but isn't quite as sharp looking at it on a computer screen. The body number is NOR352677 and it is an 06A car. If I remember correctly there was a lot of paint on it and it was kind of hard to read to begin with.

Re: Supercar Photographs
Here are some more photos of ZL-1 #18. It was bid to $600K but didn't sell. Sorry the photo of the trim tag isn't better. I believe it has been discussed before as being a reproduction. I know the body number isn't correct for a Gibb ZL-1 and I believe it is also too high for an 02D car.

Re: Supercar Photographs
Hey Taz;
My Deuce may be the one sold new in Rantoul, IL. If I can follow the breadcrumbs, the Forest Green Deuce may originally have been at W.R. Austin Chevrolet in Norwalk. But, then if may have been transferred to Rantoul where Mark MC Donald purchased it new https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...5-img_2166.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...g_2172_001.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...g_2175_001.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...g_2178_001.jpg https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...g_2185_001.jpg . I would love to find out if this scenario is accurate and if any original documents still exist pertaining to the car. A couple of current pics are attached. Please excuse the poor quality of the pics--photographer's fault entirely! Rick |
Re: Supercar Photographs
Love the color combo [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Supercar Photographs
Rick -- I am pretty sure Mark bought that car at Ernie Rogers Chevrolet ... alot of those Deuces were shipped around. If you look at the registry, it shows up there. My Silver Deuce was sold at Broadway Chev in Green Bay ... I was the second owner. TAZ

Re: Supercar Photographs
Hey Taz;
Maybe a dumb questions; but, do you still have your Silver Deuce? If so, could I please see some pics of the engine bay, trunk, door panels and instrument panel? Maybe via PM, if you think appropriate. I'm still "sorting" mine out to determine what's original, NOS or repro! Happy 4th. Rick [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] |
Re: Supercar Photographs
Happy 4th. Members!
Does anyone have a breakdown on the "known to exist" deuces as to each color? I have some nominal understanding that approximately 20 Forest Green Yenkos still exist but I sure don't know where that number came from and if it can be factually documented. THX, Rick |
Re: Supercar Photographs
Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

Re: Supercar Photographs
The red copo chevelle on page 38 was indeed originally corvette gold. It does have the original motor and rear. The trans is a M22 but not the original vin. The color on the car is cranberry red because despite the fact that it was a paint delete I just couldn't bring myself to replace the gold and I didn't like the garnet red either. I probably wouldn't change the color if I was doing it today but they were a lot cheaper and easier to come by in those days. This same car is going through Mecum's Chicago auction soon.

Re: Supercar Photographs
The green Duece on this last page did come through Rantoul. When I bought it was all apart from a man that had gone blind. I think his name was Mark McDonald but I didn't think he was the second owner. Might have been though. I sold the car to Joe Grom(sp?)
|
Re: Supercar Photographs
Yep -- knew Mark well ... was a good friend. He had diabetes and did in fact go blind from it. At some point he blew the engine and Dave Kohler (Kohler Fuel Injection – Urbana, Il.) built a 377 for the Deuce – not sure if any original block parts were used. I’m not certain, but I think Mark was the second owner – could be off on this though. During this time period there were three Deuces in Rantoul – Marks, a red one that belong to a female, and my Cortez Silver (brought it down from Wisconsin) and it is in Washington State last I heard.

Re: Supercar Photographs
Here are some more pictures of this 69 COPO Camaro N665210. I first saw it at the Super Chevy Show in Indy in 2008 where it was in the Gold Class. It was also the Good Guys Muscle Car of the year. According to the reproduction window sticker it was sold new at Queen City in Cincinnati OH. It was advertised as a documented car, but I saw no documentation on display with it. I'm sorry the photo of the trim tag isn't clearer. It was bid to $150K but didn't sell.

Re: Supercar Photographs
Here are some more pictures of D. Davis' 69 Yenko Camaro from the Mecum Indy auction where it sold for $260K. This is N614804 and was sold new at V.V. Cook Chevrolet in Louisville KY. This car has just over 16K miles. This car has been at MCACN several times and is a beautifully restored car.

Here are some more pictures of M. Rupp's 69 Yenko Chevelle from the Goodguys in Columbus this past summer. I believe it is still the only known Daytona Yellow 69 Yenko Chevelle.

Re: Supercar Photographs
#134. This 69 Camaro COPO was sold new at B.A. Chevy Olds in Toronto ON CN and is VIN #640809. According to the GM of Canada paperwork it was originally an M22 car. Sorry the pictures aren't any better, but it was in the back parking lot at the Goodguys show in Columbus OH.

The price is fixed in my head as I sold my 59 vette for $2200 and that was my down payment, and then $65/ month (301 4 speed/street track)
The LS 6 was Fathom Blue with Black Gut The second picture is a Scrambler on a AMC Dealer lot I checked out before I bought the SS |
