Well I got sucked into this thread and came away with the thought something odd must have gone on at that auction. I don't think the color was that 'different' to justify a big price delta over an orange or blue one. A gold yenko camaro or nova or chevelle are all cool in that color. period. Anything more that a 10% price difference to a 'blue' is about all I would ever beleive. I would take it over phantom green myself.

I would not ever take a car to russo and steel because where o where all the 'in the know' guys telling the auction house, this thing should sell higher? did they not know this thing should go higher and spend more time working it (shouldn't the consigner be tugging on the houses arm to work this more? this price for a yenko is too low? I would be screaming if it was my car, don't drop that gavel!) Either they are totally uniformed (I thus would not want them gaveling for my car, unless in a reserve auction) or something fishy happened OR the market for yenkos has tanked. Its one of those 3 things in my opinion.

I would only go to mecum after what I see happened here.
