I enjoy relating these experiences but one must understand what the cars were selling for at the time. When I found the gold Yenko, virtually perfect originals were around $10k. This one was a stripped hulk in the mud at the yard. I did pick the dash and axle out of it. Cost me $75. I do have the body tag...

I'll skip the details of #38, safe to say it needed some work. This was shortly after the Super Chev issue with all the VINs. The market for them wasn't well defined; no one knew where it would go. A few years later #55 ZL1 sold for $65k, a near-perfect documented original with 8,000 miles, one of 2 RS. It sold for a lot more a few years later. All of us missed the boat on that one.

So I guess I had my opportunities. Maybe they are a buy at what they are selling for now. Charlie keeps raising the bar tho :-)
