What the heck is a "Tic-Tac-Toe" gauge package? Does he mean "Tick-Tock-Tach"?

Nice looking car.

Well the way the market is going he proablly figured he'd catch someone sleeping and trick someone into buying a undocumented yenko, then pull a Shultz when the guy finds out it's bogus.

Interesting car, but don't think he was ever misleading. I'm guessing anyone who has the sort of dollars he is chasing, would read the ad as it was written.

Can't fathom his reserve but that engine is not cheap. As original ZL-1s have started to pull silly prices the Yenko blocks have followed. That plus what he has put in it makes it a expensive motor.

Still can't see how a Yenko engine, plus 4sp BB 69 Camaro makes $100k +++. But then again i can't see how GTOs and Z-28s have leapt out from the rarer muscle cars the way they have.

Here is a legitimate test of the market ZL-1 Clone
The car listed was described clearly and accurately so all knew without a doubt it was a CLONE. The car is a very nice car, what kind of values do you guys place on it? What is one of the Yenko marine engines worth?

Final words emailed to me from the seller, thought you'd all like to know. Watch for this car in the future.....
[ QUOTE ]
I am not questioning the value of any clone or what any car has ever brought on Ebay , i didnt expect to really sell this car in this venue.A lot of people seem to think a car is only worth what it will bring on Ebay , thats
about as far from the real world in about 90% of the cases.The last muscle car i ran was a Stage 1 convertible as documented as any car on the planet, it stopped at 29500. I sold it later for twice that. I put the camaro on
just to get some exposure , if it sold so be it . I never expected to get so many people who claim to know so much and actually know so little and have nothing better to do than meddle in someone elses business. When i said i spent a lot of time researching this it was on the motor itself , not the car. It is not a marine block like everyone on the registry is saying. I found the documentation to that effect about a year ago. There were big differences between the two. One person did retract his bids because of what
he read in the registry not that he thought it was a origional Yenko car, he called me over 5 or 6 days ago and went over the car in complete detail. Its to bad you guys didnt go to Barret Jackson and appraise every car or
give advice before the cars all ran. You said earlier you were not the authorities am i am not either but what these people have done is totally wrong. Its not a big deal to me weather that person had bought the car or not because i had planed to take it to an auction that shall remain nameless
or care if it ever sells . But having a bunch of people hanging there head over fence stirring sh** up because they have nothing better to do is is bull sh**!

So, as it goes in the famous Budweiser commercials.....
Here's to you mister, make a pretend car and try to pass it off as something important, so you can rip people off man".
