1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Hello, a very good friend of mine is ready for the "real deal" must be Hugger Orange 4 speed car. He owns a Z11 L78 pace car and would like to park one of these next to it! He is a no B.S. cash buyer but would like to buy according to the market. Give me a call and see if we can put a deal together. Thanks Mike Kaiser 509-322-3600

What exactly does that mean "would like to buy according to market"?

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

I think he would like to feel he's getting a good buy on one. Thanks Mike

Rick, Hope you don't think I'm a tire kicker or at least my friend is. Although I'm starting to wounder my self... but original drivetrain not on the menu is fine, hope the price would reflect. He doesn't have to sell anything or ask the wife, he's got cash ready for the right deal. Thanks again for your time. Mike Kaiser 509-322-3600

Rich ....well put....!

And I"ll second that

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

I'm not sure how much money the friend is laying on the table, but I don't believe that anyone willing to put six figures or more on the table for any Camaro short of an honest ZL1 is actually insulting anybody.

Little more than 5 years ago, $150K bought you pretty much whatever Yenko Camaro you might want. Prices are basically set by desire and available money, correct? While I agree that Yenko Camaro "awareness" is at an all time high, both inside and outside the hobby, it has to be acknowledged that there isn't as much money out there, either to borrow, pulled out of 401K or equity, hidden under mattresses or stacked in the wall safe. A whole bunch of "money" has vanished, at least on paper for the forseeable future. So you're arguing that increased DEMAND alone is going to support the current market, no matter how much the capital dries up.
Not to belabor the point, but unlike the waterfront houses that Rich prefers to use in his analogies, none of us can house our families in our cars. They're toys. Big wonderful toys with deep history and cultural significance, sure, but toys nonetheless. I don't believe anyone is immune from this economy's ills. Even many who are secure will have other pressures. Extended families or children who will need help making house payments or capital to start up new businesses, etc.
My point here isn't to rain on everyone's parade. I don't wish for any of you to "lose" the value of your cars. But then again, I didn't wish for my view property or kids college funds to lose value either. But here we are.
If Rich has callers aggressively trolling for hardship deals so that they can make a quick buck, fine, hit them with some derision. But if you have someone politely offering six figures for a certain type of car, there is no shame in that. Thank them for their offer. File their number away or throw it in the garbage, roll your eyes and curse them under your breath. Whatever. Just don't try to insinuate what fools or jerks they are. I'm not buying it.

Respectfully,
TOM

WOW Tom, Some nice thoughts there! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Thanks Tom !! This is not a insults as many people have taken me on this site but a reality check on the real market that I work in!!
Well now that the speculators are gone,we can finally get back to the hobby that so many people wanted. The guys that are in the hobby are now buying Pedigree cars that they couldnt get and are willing to pay for the RIGHT car now..
Understand people are asking for #'s matching 4 speed and a great color for over a hundred K less..(not happening yet)
I go to auctions to watch the headliners to see what these cars will do. I am not there to watch dealer to dealer sales. From I have noticed some serious cars have sold at these auction for some great money.
I had a great talk with Mike and told him what his money could buy in today's market, I sure didnt kick him for it.

PS. I do apologize
Never been a good writter and have never tried to belittle anybody on this site.
Have always been straight forward and never sugarcoated things to much and have taken quite a bit of heat on this site for being this way.

Sorry if I have offend anybody on this site, that was NEVER my intentions. EVER !!!!!

I'm upside down in my 69 Camaro COPO (Day 2) recreation..........Butternut Yellow, T-400 on the tree.....at that. No caution fan sticker and nicer than most with respect to detail.....

On a good day, what might some inept buyer pay me.....or should I figure on being buried in it (literally) ??????

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Killer car and im sure a blast for you to drive.. Thats why you own it.. I have been telling people to buy from the heart cause it doesnt matter what the car market does.
I have said that the clones,then the nom and no paperwork,color changes were to follow if the market would shift.
You should have seen the ZL1 clone at Mecum.. WOOOOOW !!!
The money that could be bought for is unbelievable. The money spent with resto and a real ZL1 over the counter block. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif Now that is a steal for someone who likes that stuff !!!

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Rich, Please elaborate on the ZL-1 clone at MECUM.......Are you saying it sold cheap or ?????.

I certainly hope I do enjoy the car locally as much as I did driving it in the 2005 HOT ROD power Tour......

I can only hope and pray some local Microsoft guru wants the car more than I do............

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Thanks for the reply, Rich. For the record, though I sometimes take issue with the way you present yourself, I've never heard anyone speak poorly about your brokering skills and efforts, and I applaud you for your success in this profession (and I do believe this is your PROFESSION, as much as the people who brokered my house). Your ability to match up significant cars and real buyers without flooring a dealership appears unmatched, at least in the musclecar market. I also will readily concede that you have a great deal more first hand information on how the high end stuff is moving than I do. I appreciate your willingness to share your experiences. I also realize that you have little to gain and much to lose by creating a complete internet blog of all the details of the deals you broker. Good luck to you. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Chuck-I'll take a stab on your COPOclone. Assuming your paint hiccups are dealt with--$30K plus or minus. It looks like some over-the-top clones (512 blocks, 4sp, killer paint) can be had in the $50K range these days. Good luck to you as well. (I think the Microsoft people will have their hands full buying toys from the Washington Mutual folks that are packing up. Maybe some Starbucks folks as well.) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Tom, I know I will be labeled a "homer" kissing up to you, but your occasional visits and inciteful comments are welcomed by me.

If and whenever I get my 69 "THANG" rolling again........I will try to sell to whomever.......

and hopefully I can step up to one of those real 512 Block, 4 speed, killer paint clones!!!!!!!!!!!

no caution fan stickers allowed.......

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Thanks Tom https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif and one of these https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif or should I turned that around https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif and then a https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif.. Not like the good ol days !!
We were able to grab some beer and cruise ALL night long https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

They did not sell it, but he told me what he would have taken to sell it..

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif You could not build that car for the money !!

Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro Hugger Orange 4 speed Cash Buyer
 

Still looking for the HO Yenko Camaro 4speed, Rich P. did call me on a real nice original drivetrain car, but I should have said would be fine without #'s engine and trans maybe just the BE rear. We thought up to $175-$250K would work, but maybe not? I never asked for one for $100k and if did I know it would get mailed to me by UPS in boxes. Rick P. was great to talk with and I told him when I get the winning #'s he's the first guy I'm calling to line up the shipper, but really my friend is ready to buy, but not the 400k range lets stay around $175-$250. or is that the re bodied price I'm confused? It's all in good humor! thanks guys
Chuck I'm still looking for a Duramax for you, #'s matching, original paint ect...right! I tried calling you last week or so but I know you phone was ringing off the hook with all that ZL1 drama. Crazy story, I'm glad you told it to me before this all went down. Like you said your 15 minutes of fame, now Barret-Jackson's 9 minutes! thanks Mike
