"Originally delivered with American Torq thrust rims"......whats up with that?? I thought Yenko Cast his own version(Knock off) of those rims. Is this True or are they incorrect?

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

Nope your right 12bolt. They were made by a local manufacturer called Atlas Inc.
The wheels were called Atlas Wheels. From what I have learned here, the wheels were made very poorly.

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

Thanks for your thoughts, If I could afford that many lottery tickets to win that much money I would be ok...no chance of that. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif.....Kasey

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005

.....or variety of Yenko's were offered at one auction
..
.....this will be an interesting auction

....especially if your the person from New Jersey that is holding the winning BIG GAME LOTTERY TICKET FOR $250,000,000

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

...I would gues that they would auction each YENKO off separately.....then add 10%...and offer them as a "Package"....to see where it goes from there https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

Red Z11 Impala sold for 300K. Somewhere that gold COPO was discussed as being the wrong body build for a COPO or something like that.

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

Would anyone with a real COPO Camaro let it go for $120? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Oh my https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Over the last several years that car has changed hands and been for sale so many times. Hopefully it finally found an owner who will enjoy it rather than just try to turn it over to make a buck.

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

My feeling is the value of everyones cars just went up.

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

Charlie,

-----It was nice hangin with you! Love that long-roof!! Did anyone notice that the gold/white COPO had aluminum heads?? Whats up with that?? Never could get an answer out of anyone at the sight............Bill S

John,
I heard 2nd hand, the yellow Yenko went for $190 or $195K. I saw the car a month or so ago and it needed some changes/updating. But yes, it is the "real McCoy" with documents. The owner said it was to be a "Mecum drawing card" and the reserve would be set very high at $450K...obviously that didn't happen if my 2nd hand info is correct.

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

I think the yellow one had bids that high but I don't think it sold.

Re: Mecum auction Oct. 2005
 

Yellow M40 Yenko was Sold.

I had a great time being a driver at the auction. The only bad parts were the cars that wouldn't run and having to put up with Charley https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif
