#222 This Olympic Gold 69 Camaro COPO is N623723. It is a 9737 car and also a radio delete car. It was sold new at Prout Chevrolet in Elyria OH. The restoration on this car was recently completed. J. Makovich had this car at MCACN in '23.

#223 This Fathom Green 69 Camaro COPO is N663162 and was sold new at Malcolm Konner Chevrolet in Paramus NJ. This car still has its original drivetrain and is CHP Certified. This car has 21K miles and is unrestored with an older repaint. Most COPO Camaros built in '69 were ordered without consoles, but I noticed all three that I saw at Mecum Indy this year had them. This car hammered for $210K.

Here is picture of N693711 from Mecum Indy. I posted pictures of this car back in '19 when it was at MCACN and won a Day 2 Concours Gold award. It has since been returned to mostly stock except for the headers and plug wires. This car was sold new at Hough White Chevrolet in Columbus OH to David Waller. This is an unrestored car with only 8.6K miles. It does appear that the hood has been repainted. This car has its original transmission and rearend. This car just sold at Mecum Houston for $135K. It was bid to $120K at Indy but didn't sell.

Yes I had the hood painted when I acquired the car from Nuge. I just couldn't stomach the black stripe the original owner had painted on by the dealership, I might have left it if it had been straight. You are correct the rear and trans is the born with but also everything on the engine except the warranty replacement CE short block is original. Heads, intake, carb distributor, alternator, kick down, and even the anti dieseling switch is still in place.

Here is a picture of N613366 from Mecum Indy. I posted pictures of this car previously from Mecum Indy in 2010. This is a double COPO that was sold at Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids MI. This is 1 of only 2 triple green COPO's that I know of. The other is an Emmert sold car that is a non RS with a 4 speed. I believe this car was restored by Nyle Wing at Wing's Auto Art. It was in the Brothers Collection and was one of the Muscle Car of the Week features done by Kevin Oeste. This car sold at Mecum Dallas in '23 for $155K, then at Mecum Kissimmee in '24 for $200K and now it hammered at Mecum Indy for $165K. Hopefully it will find a permanent home.

Those selling prices in a short period of time are kind of wild? As a novice is that common?

Proof that an inside out,upside down cowl seal is worth a good 35K. :)

It's not uncommon to see a car that sold at one of Mecum's lesser auctions show up months later at Kissimmee or Indianapolis and sell for more so the difference from Dallas to Kissimmee isn't surprising. The fact that it sold for $35K less at Indy is a bit surprising. It's possible that the deal at Kissimmee fell through so it was brought to Indy.

If you had told the assembly line workers in 1968/1969 that some of the cars they were building would be worth six figures in one day, what do you think they would have said?

#224 This Matador Red 68 Camaro RS/SS is YS8040 and was sold new at Jack Douglass Chevrolet in Hinsdale IL. I believe this is 1 of at least 10 identical cars ordered by Yenko and built the third week of June. This car was recently restored by Mike Slaughter at Epic Auto Restorations for Doug Perry and was 1 of 3 Camaros going for Camaro Legends Certification.

Doug's YS-8040 was Jim Spencer's Span Inc. demo car

#225 This Hugger Orange 69 COPO Camaro is N643253 and was sold new at Ray Bryant Chevrolet in Dayton OH. This car still has its original drivetrain and was certified by CHP. It was ordered with an M22 and a console and was parked in '81 with only 24K miles. Verlin Hale purchased it from the 3rd owner several years ago and restored it. It was part of the Class of 1969 Display.

#226 This Olympic Gold 69 Yenko Camaro is N579034 and was sold new at Nankivell Chevrolet in Indianapolis IN to Rick Barratt. This is 1 of 10 built in Olympic Gold and I believe 1 of 6 known to exist. This is an ex-race car with 21K miles. I'm not sure who restored this car, but it was recently completed. Doug Perry had it being judged for Camaro Legends Certification.

Frank Arone did the restoration for Doug's '69 Yenko.

#227 This Tuxedo Black 69 Chevelle COPO is 136379Z364805 and was sold new at Jack Head Chevrolet in Alhambra CA. It's my understanding that this car has a CE block and its original M40 and 4.10 rearend. This car is also documented with its original POP. This car was the January '02 feature car on this site when it was owned by Bob Gagliano. It was restored by Dave Tinnel over 25 years ago. This is the only COPO Chevelle that I know of that was built at the Fremont CA plant. It is also 1 of 4 known that was painted Tuxedo Black. According to the trim tag it originally had a black vinyl top. This car was part of The Dennis Payne Collection and hammered for $117.5K.

#228 This Hugger Orange 69 Camaro COPO is 124379N641030 and was sold new at Frost Chevrolet in Mechanicsville OH. I first became aware of this car back in '03 when the owner of the original engine for this car came on here looking for the car. Then in '05 this car came up for sale on e-bay with the owner claiming it had its original engine in it already. The owner of the engine and the owner of the car weren't able to come to terms, and I believe that Chris Cadwallader bought the car at that time and had it restored. It was restored and sold in '06 and at that time I don't believe it had any of its original drivetrain. This is a 4-speed car and only has 16K miles on it. It was part of the Dennis Payne Collection and hammered for $127.5K at Mecum Indy. I believe it still has the restamped engine in it, but there was another engine included in the sale. I'm not sure if that was the original engine or not.

#229 This Tuxedo Black 69 Camaro COPO is 124379N641088 and was sold new at Scuncio Chevrolet in Greenville RI. It was the feature car of the month on this site in 01/05. At that time it was a Day 2 car. It was owned by Ray Dupont, Kevin Hand, Mike Guarise and Dave Steinberg before becoming a part of the Dennis Payne collection. This is a 4-speed car and I don't believe it has any of its original drivetrain. This car hammered for $135K at Mecum Indy.

#230 This Frost Green 69 Camaro COPO is 124379N639311 and was sold new at Glockner Chevrolet in Portsmouth OH. Don Robertson owned this car for many years and when he passed the car went to IL. The consignor than purchased it about 8 months prior to the auction and restored it. It was just completed before the auction. It was advertised as having its original POP that was pictured on the sign board. It was also advertised as being numbers matching. It didn't say the drivetrain was original to the car so I'm assuming it was correct but not original to the car. This car hammered for $152.5K.

I've posted pictures of this Hugger Orange 69 Yenko Camaro previously on here. This is 124379N579562 and was sold new at Francis Chevrolet in Bridgeton MO. This is an unrestored car with just under 20K miles. I have in my notes that it has its original engine, rearend and 80% of its original paint. Don Stowers owned this car for over 25 years. It was featured in the 06/89 issue of Super Chevy and 06/92 issue of Muscle Car Review when Don owned it. He also had it at MCACN in '10. It hammered at Mecum Indy in '11 for $345K. It was part of the Dennis Payne Collection and hammered at Mecum Indy this year for $650K.

I've posted pictures of Jim Park's 69 Yenko Camaro before. It is currently in the Muscle Car Wing at the Gilmore Museum. This is 124379N579779 and was sold new at Hult Chevrolet in Madison WI to Lloyd Eggert. This car has just over 3K miles and has been repainted, but the rest of the car is mostly original. This car was at the Chevy Vette Fest in Chicago back in '03 when they had a large Yenko and Supercar display. It was also at MCACN in '12 for the Yenko display.
