Re: cheap Yenko
I always thought the blue Yenko was a very nicely done car, rear body clip or not. It had its original engine and BE rear. If all that is technically useable is the firewall/roof, etc. then thats all that can be used. I was always such a purist in terms of original metal, but the reality is quite a few of these cars need quite a bit of new metal, better original than repro. Fix what needs to be fixed and document what is done.
Jude, my silver Copo that just sold at Mecum was a nicely done car with canadian docs, original M22, original BE, non original 427, never removed trim tag, "the" original interior, "the" original body with quarters replaced, original floors, original trunk floor, etc. I thought it was a good buy on a no issue car. I never thought the market was over $ 150k on such a car, with only one bidder on my car, the market is not hot for a NOM Copo right now.
I know the owner of the no docs rallye green NOM Copo at Barrett last year thought it never stopped rolling across the stage. I didn't see that one sell, who knows.
