Re: X-11 Yenkos
I agree that all these cars are important, but a "yenko" is by far the most popular to Chevy fans! If you were to line up all the chevy muscle cars produced, whether it be factory or dealer built I would be willing to bet most people would point to a Yenko and say"that is the car that I would like to own"! Don Yenko did for chevy what Shelby did for ford. Just look at the value of some of those Cobras! They were the same price as a ZL1 back then but their value is around a 250K now! I know what a car is worth is not everything, but the hard fact is everyone is watching the value skyrocket and wondering when it is going to slow down. I think it will continue rise because people will hold on to the ones that they have and since there have not been new ones discovered, people that have money and want one bad enough will pay a lot of money to get one! I think some of the well documented Yenkos with a race history and low mileage originals will be catching those Cobras in the next five years. Look at the Deuces, Belk got a hefty price out of an unrestored original, just a few years ago you could get a frame-off for a lot less than he got for that car! He made a believer out of me!
