How much is a 69 Yenko Camaro worth?

[bbarnsworth]

Hello,

First, no it's not for sale My apologies for intruding with a question like this.

I realize there's a great many factors that play into the price of a supercar like this, but I am wondering how much a 69 Yenko Camaro is worth these days?

Assume; ~55k original, off frame paint restoration to original form. Nearly original everything, not perfect, but in very nice shape. 427 of course, with standard transmission not the automatic.

I know you can't pin a particular price on something like this, but what is the general price range for something like this now?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

Once again, please ship all the $ 28-58,000 Yenkos to me ASAP! Fully restored, #1 condition Yenko Camaros are changing hands in the $90-95,000 range right now. Obviously lesser condition cars go down significantly because of the cost to get them to #1 condition. Color can be a factor with a range of about 10% difference between the more popular, and, less popular colors. Original engine cars carry about the same premium over replacement blocks. Of course I temper this with the disclaimer that it is only my observation & opinion.
As an aside, I think it is odd [and justified] how the value of Yenko Chevelles has skyrocketed in the last 60 days. What have others found out there?

I think they are getting the recognition they deserve.....considering the rarity I think they have been low for some time.The common belief is about 35 or so still exist which makes them a lot more rare than a Y Camaro.There seems to be a consensus that there is a small number left with original drivetrain. I personally think an original engine car should be valued a bit higher than a CE block in a Yenko.Just my un-biased opinion.

We all know that a car is only worth what someone will give you for it. Especially a supercar. I have heard people say that a non numbers match car is just as valuable as a matching car, bull----. The more original, the higher the value. Generally, a person looking for a high dollar supercar, has done his homework, or knows someone who has, and can tell a 50k car from a 90k car. Correct restorations by reputable shops will bring higher dollar. Documentation also demands more dollars. Throw away the price guides. the price guides are the buyers. Too few cars sell to justify some type of price guide. Noone can "tell" you what ANY supercar is worth. My opinion of course.

This is a topic near and dear to my heart.

When the number of vehicles is so few, (Lets call it less than 300) and demand literally international, each and every vehicle stands on its own. There will be substantial price variance.

I remember certain COPOS,Yenkos bringing more $$$$ money almost a decade ago, than current market prices?

One problem with price guides is that they do not reflect private transactions. Most of these cars trade hands in this manor.

The main reason that numbers matching/ original drive train COPOs haven't carried a substantial premium over numbers correct cars is simply, that so few exist. Apples to apples an original drive train Copo will carry a substantial premium over a non original.

But, with so few apples to choose from, there is no correct answer.

There is a low milage original Yenko Camaro, that has just about everything going for it and then some. It is listed under cars for sale on this site. The price of $150,000.00 seems like quite a bargin.
