Default Re: Yenko clone on e-bay

Autoinsane,
I built a clone back in 1990 as a daily driver. That car got more attention and not once did anyone ask if it was real. This was done before the stripes and 427 emblems were available through the normal aftermarket which makes it easier to accomplish. That car was correct appearing from the inside-out including a correct set of the custom face SW tach and gauges. It had a 70 454 with a 69 M21 and 4.10 posi 12-bolt. As a matter of fact it was similar to the orange one that is on Ebay now, except mine was a lot nicer car and more correct. People laughed at me for building that car but they shut up when it sold for $20k a few months after I finished it! Back then frame off restored SS396's were barely bringing that kind of money

The same car sold about 4 years ago to a guy in AL for $39k and the only thing that had been done to it was that the 454 was replaced by a correctly dated 427 from a COPO Camaro. As far as the value goes, clones are a deal because you can have a car similar to the real one for about 1/3 the price. Look at how many Cobra kit cars are out there compared to real ones and they still bring very good money when done right.................RatPack.................
