Default Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro at Leake/Kruse Auction in Dallas

I think this story is correct but Brian or some other member may have some imput. Bodner originaly had a COPO that was a basket case, so he advertised in the Pittsburgh paper for a 1969 camaro body. He got a call from a fellow that said he had one that he wanted to get out of his garage. When he looked at the car he seen it as a yellow car with no stripes, the car had been raced (I remember seeing it at PID in 69) and the original engine was still sitting in the corner of the garage along with all original parts. I don't think the seller realized what he had, he just wanted it gone. I think Bodner got everything for $5000.00, I'm not sure on that figure but I think that was it? I don't think you will ever find a deal like that now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
