Looking To Buy A Yenko

[Canucklehead]

Restamps being a replacement engine from 69 so as to keep with the model year or someone taking a block and stamping the right codes on it?. The reason i ask is becouse some people use different terms in this buisness. Also i wanted to ask, if i was to take, say a non matching #'s yenko and customize it further, how much would that effect the value of it. I would never think to do anything to a #'s matching but being that one has already being altered???, just curious.

even nom yenko cars are bringing big money. i wouldn't alter the body of one those cars if i were you, and if you did alter the body, if thats what you're into, i would make it where i could reverse the alteration. imo.

I was thinking of making one into a rag. Most likly a bad idea as chopping the roof off is a major body mod, and it would most likely cut the value in half. However it's still an original yenko. Could do it to a copo of some sort too.

I could just see you guys cringing just reading this post

[/ QUOTE ] Not most likely, it's DEFINITELY a bad idea. I don't understand the logic, why care about matching #'s and a car being an original Yenko or COPO if you plan to take the sawzall to it? There are plenty of clones on ebay every week that would be perfect for butchering. Or better yet, just buy a nice ragtop and clone it however you'd like it, just please, don't even consider hacking up an original Yenko or COPO. If you think Yenko sellers are short with you now, mention that plan next time you call and see what they say. This site is about the "preservation" of Supercars, we don't even like to joke about cutting them up...I do hope you were just joking right?

I collected comics when i was a kid, and i remember watching a movie where the villan was a comic collector. He had 2 very rare #1 Captain America's. He had the hero tied up and was explaining to him how there are so few of these left, as he was doing this he took one and put it into the paper shredder. Then he proclaims as he is holding up the remaining copy "now this one is worth twice as much". Of course that just tightened the sphincter another notch, i could'nt believe a collector would do that, yes i know it was a movie, makes you wonder though, stands to reason the more that are destroyed the more the remaining ones are worth. Although anybody serious about a collectable would never dream of purposly destroying something that he loves. Just a comment, no need to get worried. I have no intentions of buying a bunch of Yenkos to drive off a cliff or anything.
