You would think he would verify the information before posting.

Re: "Yenko" on ebay item 1805174250
As Reynolds noted, the trim tag rivets are the incorrect generic pop-rivet style, so there's a good chance this tag was not on this car when new.
This sure is a great illustration of how fish stories are created and perpetuated. One other point - isn't the heater box configuration the small-block variety? [Edited by Rainer (02-14-2002 at 10:31 PM).]

It may be the original trim tag but was removed to paint the firewall. This is a mistake that you see on some older restorations. Looks like they painted everything under the hood with the body color making it look like a Chrysler product. The sellers email address tells a lot -- autobroker yahoo -- woohoo

Re: "Yenko" on ebay item 1805174250
Did anyone notice the seat belt buckels that are with the standard interour? I think this is a scam tactic to get the bid up on a piece of junk worth maybe 5 grand at the most.

Re: "Yenko" on ebay item 1805174250
There is an ongoing thread about this car at camaros.net. This is a member Email and seller response - Amazing!
I emailed this guy about the car and this is what he said. Makes no sense at all. My email to him: This car is most likely not a Yenko. The brake pedals and brakes are from a drum brake set up, the heater core is not a big block set up and who ever told you it is, is not telling you the truth. I would not sell this car without proper paperwork if you THINK it is. If you really think it is a Yenko then... end the auction...get the car looked at..then re-list it for major dollars with proper documentation. Just to let you know, there are a hand full of people who are watching this who are in the restoration industry and they do not take to well to people who try to sell cars for something they arent. So be careful and good luck! His email: I do not know for sure if this is a YENKO or not. And I never said it was I am just putting what was told to me in the description. You have to look at my point of view also if this was a real YENKO and I sold it as just a regular camaro I would be losing alot of money. Thanks for your input I appreciate it, Bron Fain...

What a scam job. This guy is a _____! People like this and the "COPO GUY" give our hobby a bad rap. I guess crooks are everywhere.
