Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle

Jim Hanke (wheelhop) and I had a busy but fun weekend. We left Friday morning for a road trip to Colorado To deliver the Douglass Yenko and pick up the 1968 Camaro I took on trade. We left at 5:30 am and got to Waynes at about7:30pm. We stayed long enough to drop off the trailer and take a quick tour of his collection since we were going to stay at a friend of Jims who lives about 90 minutes away. We were going to go back in the morning to unload and reload.
When we arrived at Jims friends house it was about 10 pm. Jims friend Mark had a 71 Camaro and a older Buick 225 conv. so he also was a car guy. Anyways we talked for a while and I went to bed. The next morning we woke up and Mark shows me his cars and asks if he could come see the collection. I called Wayne and he said ok. When we get there Mark sees the 68 Camaro and ends up buying it from me. Check attachment |

While moving cars around I am thinking about I have a few extra dollars and we are going to be heading back to Chicago with a empty trailer. Something didnt seem right about this. I start looking around and then remember the night before Wayne was saying how he just bought a car it was a 600 mile original paint car so he now has two of them. I asked him what he was doing with the other and the answer was he was going to sell it. Thats all I needed to hear a little later I had a car to bring back with me.

Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
------Wow, John!!! What a trip. Kind of like musical cars instead of chairs. Or,,,"If its Tuesday this must be a Superbird". Congratulations on what sounds like a trip that made more than one person very happy........Bill S

Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
Nice collection of cars

Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
Pete all garage shots are of Waynes collection he had 2 Superbirds and a daytona. He has owned the one I bought since 2003 and just purchased a Petty blue 600 mile original Superbird to upgrade his collection It took about 3 hours of rearranging to get my Superbird out and the Daytona back in its place.. The Daytona he has is the only Mr. Norm sold Daytona.
Bruce it was a pleasure that evening we went to dinner next year ww will both be looking for rides. |
Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
John...I can give you a ride in the rental car! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
Kinda not the same though...LOL https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif |
Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
Bruce if worse comes to worse I probably will bring trhe RS SS ZL1 we can cruise in that. Than Colin will not be able to laugh at me for getting up every 5 minutes to check on my car.
Thanks Bill yes that deal made at least 3 people happy. |
Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
Thanks John!.
Being mesmerized by all the muscle, I wasn't sure what shop pics were where?. Seeing the Rapid Transit sign behind the lift of the two winged cars and the order of pics made me notice the swap and think it must've happened at your shop?. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif ~ Pete |

Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
John called me on the way to Wayne's house and told me he sold the yenko and was taking a 68 camaro on trade. He called me on the way back and said "guess what" Jim's friend mark saw the car and had to have it so he bought it from me,John paused and i said "what did you buy" and John laughed and told me about the Superbird. I knew he could not come home with an empty trailer and a pocket full of cash. Congrats on the superbird! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
John, Thanks for helping me and Robin rearrange our car storage building. It was a lot of work, but it turned out great and we enjoyed your company.
We are proud to have your white Douglass Yenko in our collection and hope the orange 4 speed Superbird brings you as much enjoyment as it did to us. I have met the best car people thru this Yenko SuperCar Club site. Most of you have been a class act and have made me feel right at home;although I don't post very often, I do check the site every single day. I would like to invite any members traveling through the desolate Northeast corner of Colorado to give me a call and we'll give you and your friends a tour. P.S. Thanks Colin for the Mr. Norm's Daytona and Boss 302. Thanks Rich P. and Charlie L. for all your help! |
Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
Wayne, it was a pleasure meeting you and Robin. Thanks again for your hospitality. Can't wait to come back sometime and see some more beautiful cars!!

Re: Thanks to Wayne and Robin Schmeeckle
I guess Wayne and Robin are the only Yenko Collectors to have one of every (found) Color 1969 Yenko* Camaro offered for sale, to the public.
Congrats! |
