So did the car sell and the new owner wants to auction it at Mecum?

No, once it was determined that there was an issue during the inspection process the buyer was obviously no longer was interested.

I find it disturbing the owner who had the car restored had no knowledge that "the Body Shop seems to have chosen a path of least resistance for their restoration process"restoration shop "

Stefano I applaud you for being upfront about disclosing this information. The owner placed you in a very difficult position.

If the owner didnt know the Restoration Shop took a path of least resistance Id be going NUTS right about now.. What a costly mistake and a complete shame if the original car was salvagable.

It is my opinion based on all the info provided to me by the Current owner, as well as all the supporting docs and pictures, to include parts of the original sheet metal, which he thought had been replaced, that he did not know what had taken place.

Example; I don't think he would have brought the original tail panel to show the original Lemans Blue paint, under the Yellow, Yenko Emblem holes, as well as Francis emblem holes, if he been aware that the tail panel had actualy never been replaced.

He and I had the "Rebody" conversation prior to our accepting the Yenko on consignment. As a condition of the sale, he was asked to sign an affidavit, that the car was not a rebody and he had no issues complying.

He also had the opportunity to decline our request to take the car apart for our inspection!

He was also given the opportunity to cancel our consignment agreement, take his car back and have someone else market the car for him. He agreed that this info should be shared with the Super Car community as well as any potential buyers.

He also had asked for a "right of first refusal" to buy the car back, as he is in a must sell situation with this Yenko.

We have always, to the best of our ability and or knowledge properly disclosed rebody situations.

Please remember that all three of the original VINs, the original trim tag and the original engine etc. are with this Yenko.

So what would be a fair price on a rebody yenko?

Do you know if the original shell still available or was it destroyed?

The ad in the beginning of this thread stated that there were as-found, pre-restoration photos available. Was the car really that rusty?
