"Yenko Circus Wagons"
 

I was looking at the classicdreamcars.com site out of Florida and saw a Berger COPO Camaro for sale. As I read the story about the car that was filled with mistakes as usual they made the comment that the Berger and Baldwin Motion cars are more collectable than the "Painted up Yenko circus wagons". Any serious collector would know that. I though that was funny! I wonder what they say about a Yenko when they have one of those for sale?

I wonder, how were people raised? I was always taught, "you never make yourself look better to others by putting other people or there property down". I think that it just speaks volumes about the person who says the insult. I work at a drag strip out here in NJ, I am always surprised at how people insult others over stupid little things. The best one is the insult decals between the car makes, like "You drive a FORD, Ha-ha". What a stupid way to express yourself! There are a whole group of mis-informed "tree-hugging" types that are trying to legally ruin the muscle car hobby! That guy should really think before he comes out with another insult. What a loser!!!!

I've never been to the circus, but I happen to really like my 'Painted up Circus Wagon'!! I like the Berger cars as well, so I guess I like 'Unpainted Circus Wagons' as well.

Sounds like typical used car salesman stuff. Maybe Tom Shaw can stop over there to straighten them out as to how the wave of the musclecar dealer future is shaping up, (see current issue of MuscleCar Review).

Well said Marlin!!!!!

I love the circus wagons that I have owned over the years. I also love Berger, Motion, and all the other lesser painted up dealer and COPO cars. I think all serious collectors would feel the same. I even dig the light weight Fords. I guess I ain't an "edukated" owner...

If you recall, that's the same dealer that was trying to pass off the fake 3000 mile 69 L89 Camaro convert. on Ebay and Traderonline a couple months ago.

An upstanding dealer to be sure. I have followed the story on the web at the other Camaro site and love the interaction between the car owner {dealer} and the people that understand Camaros's.

I wonder if this is the same dealership that was pawining off that Bronze '72 'Yenko Deuce' with a small block 400 in it a few years ago. Anybody remember the dealer's name?
