Leake Auction will be selling, with a reserve,VIN 124379N614999 1969 YENKO Camaro in Oklahoma City next weekend Feb 23/24 . The car is bank owned and is posted in the VIN List . I saw it today at the Starbird Show in Tulsa. Older restoration that has a lot of wear. Poor paint and body lines. Filler is showing in a lot of areas it should not be in. Did not get a look at the block pad for a stamp. The information on the sale was given to me by a LEAKE employee. Fathom Green is also in line with the VIN info.

If that car is as described condition by members here, that is not a #2 condition car as stated by the auction company.

Re: 1969 YENKO 614999 Auction
 

That car is a 2 - to 3+ . Paint has flaws , many . Panel between the back window and trunk has poor seams. Valance panel was crunched and poorly repaired. Chrome and stainless need refinishing.Paint is dull and has lots of oversray areas like it was not jammed well. Intake is badly stained and discolored. Smog is on it , Interior is good. CHEAP hood insulator . Just not sharp like that car deserves to be at. Probably restored 15 years ago and stored poorly in a larger collection?

Re: 1969 YENKO 614999 Auction
 

Not for nothing, but i bet we can pick on ALL cars for some type of flaw. Regardless of paint, fit, parts missing. There is no such thing as a PERFECT car anywhere. Biggest part now a days is making sure we have a REAL car first.
Just my .02 cents, The &quot;MOF&quot;

Re: 1969 YENKO 614999 Auction
 

I remember the car at Indy in the early '90s, restored condition then. So I think the resto is over 20 years old and sounds like the current condition reflects that.

Car sold for 190K

Re: 1969 YENKO 614999 Auction
 

Wow....

Re: 1969 YENKO 614999 Auction
 

It did get hammered at 190k, but the buyer backed out later claiming he thought it was a numbers matching car when he bid that much. The car belonged to the bank so after the sale fell through they took bids on it last week. Not sure how much it took to get it, but a friend bid 110k and didn't get it, so something north of that.

I have a couple cars with sequential fisher body numbers that are also very similar with regard to options. The cars are 25 VIN units apart.

I have not done any in depth research on the topic, but it seems fisher body organized their body production by body style and options. So similarly optioned big block convertibles, Z28s or yenko camaros for example would have probably been grouped into a batch, therefore having similar or sequential body numbers.

The vin numbers were probably assigned on a &quot;first come first served&quot; basis. Since the body's were produced close in time, their VIN would be close as well, but not necessarily sequential

Just my hypothesis...

That is not unusual. The body numbers are in sequence becuase of the way that they were ordered and batched together.

The VINs were asigned at a different time relative to when the rolled down the assembly line.

What is known as the 'body number' was generated when Central Office confirmed the dealer order. It had nothing to do with production scheduling. Fisher built to Chevrolet's schedule, not theirs. The Gibb ZL1s were ordered/confirmed at the same time and aren't even close to being built in body number sequence. The first Gibb ZL1 ordered, 222001, was #14 final-assembled on or about March 6, 1969. The first ZL1 built 222002 was final assembled December 30, 1968. Neither is the first ZL1 Camaro ordered-that's #3 211785.

Yenkos are the same-the groups were ordered/confirmed at the same time but not built in order # sequence.
