Default Re: Yenko Chevelle in newest Musclecar Enthusiast

If I'm not mistaken, I think this car came from Wade Fletcher in Wisconsin. There was this Yenko Chevelle as well as the 69 Harrell Camaro that Joe Swezey now owns. I saw them at Wades about a year before Joe bought the Harrell Camaro, but I passed on both at that time. I already had a Yenko Chevelle, and the Harrell Camaro only had a letter from one of Harrell's Mechanic's at that time. I stewed on that Camaro for a long time, and finally thought what the heck, might as well buy it as it was reasonably priced. By this time, a year had gone by when I called Wade; who says he just agreed to sell over the phone to Joe from Super Car Workshop. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] The Yenko Chevelle had sold the year before, right after I saw it at Wades. This was a "snooze you lose" case on my part. Joe has since found more History and authentication on his Harrell Camaro, and it is a great car.

Of course it is hindsight at this time, but I can think of dozens of rare cars I passed on that are now 6 figure$ cars. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
