Garnet Red ?Yenko? E-Bay
 

Check out this one. Very late VIN, claims one of ten Garnet red Yenkos. Guy adamantly claims in one of his answers to the questions that the VIN of his car is on the Yenko VINs. Gives some story about the car being sold by Yenko to a race track in Pensacola, an engine blown, and a new one put in then sold again. MAYBE this car was sold new from Yenko, but it is not A Yenko. Am I right? 69 garnet red "Yenko" e-Bay https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Seems kind of strange for a "real" Yenko to have a "buy it now" price of $48k. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

It appears to have an AC dash. Unless the dash has been changes, that would verify the fact that is not a Yenko.

Well, the white interior would be another good sign its not a Yenko...although it all looks to be repro anyhow. The dashpad seems to be the only AC piece, as the kickpanels are non/ac, as is the heater controls. The VIN is way too late, not even close to any known Yenko VINs from what I can see...Interesting lack of engine bay pics, wonder why he doesn't show off what's under that trick hood scoop? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

PS...Did you note that it's "one of 10 in Garnet Red"? Now if we could just find the other 9.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Garnet Red ?Yenko? E-Bay
 

And in the auction he clearly states that it is the orignal dash. So, I guess we are all to believe that GM made a mistake and put in the wrong dash? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

He tries to belittle one of the people asking questions about the car and says something like "new information is comming (his spelling, not mine) out all the time" and that he worked "for GM as a service guy for 15 years". Why do we need all of the experts here on this site? We can just go to Mr Goodwrench-- he'll set us straight.

Looks Burgundy to me. I invited him to check the vin list on this site but have not heard back. If he mentions Greg at DPE we know we have a winner.

The other nine should be easy to make. I mean find. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Garnet Red ?Yenko? E-Bay
 

My favorite part of the car is the HUGE speaker boxes in the rear window. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Garnet Red ?Yenko? E-Bay
 

Could not someone get the car for free by using the buy it now price and then sueing the bastard. He would have to come up with some kind of proof that it is real when we all know it is not.

I like the looks of it and would love to own it for the $15k it's at now.!

When was the last time anyone of you saw a Yenko with Torque Thrusts?
