Re: 69 Yenko Camaro, Milwaukee WI area
 

This is amazing. I started on this project first thing this morning, started making calls to all my friends and bike brothers in the Wisconsin/Minnesota area to get some preliminary recon on this attempt to buy this car, sure as there is snow on the ground here in Michigan one of my friends in the area I mentioned listened to what I was up to, and Bam!, he tells me he has a young guy working for him who was trying to fix up a 69 Camaro and in the process bought another one from its long time resting area in a barn, his intentions were to use the car for parts. The kid had no idea what the word Yenko was and my friend who could care less about cars but is old enough to know what a Yenko is spots this so-called parts car for what it is..a sYc 69 Yenko Camaro in tattered condition, stripes peeling, and no engine. The kid is going through a divorce and from what my friend tells me he will sell the car as long as I buy it and the one he was fixing up. He had found out about the car from his best friend who had just recently bought the engine from the Yenko to put in his 4x4 pickup. That friend ends up screwing around with this kids wife and so comes the divorce. So, I may also be able to get the original engine. It is amazing how things happen, I wind myself up last night over the not-for-sale Yenko, and no sooner start on what I figure to be a long term process of trying to get that car, and BOOM! I stumble on to another one. If this works out as easy and well as it appears it is going to, I have a lot of you guys to thank for the thread that started me after the other one. I am heading that way the first of the week, I will keep you guys posted as to how this turns out, as well as how the first contact turns out on the not-for-sale tragedy.

Hey Matt;
Isn't one of these cars 'Green' - don't you a little phobia about green cars, or is it only green Novas [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro, Milwaukee WI area
 

You guys are killin me! I leave home for a day and you guys attack me like sharks in the water with fresh blood. I gotta admit the fence post thing was cute, and Marlin, I am not fond of green anything except money, so if I can turn a green car into green money I will set aside my silly superstitions. Tied to a fence post.....sounds like the protocol of years ago being a prospect for the Motorcycle Club. Any you guys ever think about trying out at the comedy store? Everybody take a valium, I will let you all know how the adventure turns out. I am on hold waiting to go in case it turns into a dual purpose trip with picking up the silver Deuce. Keep the comedy coming guys, I can use it!

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro, Milwaukee WI area
 

Today at work i was talking to a customer about muscle cars, and mentioned yenko's. This guy knows the owner of the green yenko. He said that the owner had been offered $60,000 and the seller just walked away. Good luck, motown [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro, Milwaukee WI area
 

Nothing I like better then a challenge, and this one is not going to be about money. I have already found out quite a lot about the owner, it's amazing what you can find out about a person if you do your homework. Let the games begin!

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro, Milwaukee WI area
 

There may be another heavy hitter after this car also!!!

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro, Milwaukee WI area
 

Not only do I love a challenge, but I also LOVE competition! I believe in the destiny concept, so if the car ends up owned by someone else, or remains in the current owners hands, that is just the way things are supposed to turn out. What is to be will be.... and what is not wont. Best of luck to my competitors! This is getting more fun by the minute. For me it is not about winning, it is all about the thrill of the chase. I also dont really care who gets the car, as long as it is someone who will treat it with respect and give it back the life it deserves. May the best man(or woman, my wife is standing here) WIN! Looks like at the very least I got everyone off their butt and interested enough where someone will own it other then it sitting there rotting into the ground. By the way, someone want to define the term "Heavy Hitter" in this hobby for me? I know the term in other aspects of life, but until recently I have been sort of a loner in this business so I am still trying to figure out the terminology used here sometimes. I am sure in the MC clubs heavy hitter meant a whole different thing than it does here...so come on guys, help me out.
Thanks,

Definition: Big money! Big reputation!

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro, Milwaukee WI area
