Did the Preston & Lawrence Yenko do $270K? Nice oem paint car but not much in successful race history, national event wins, or world championship titles.

Just because a car was not successful on the track does not mean it does not hold value, and vice versa. I can name several examples of cars that were not very successful that sold for big dollars and other cars that won regional and even national events that sold for less. Racing success is only one of the many factors that determine a car's worth.


IMO, the P/L racecar is one of the most desirable Yenkos out there, regardless of whether it was successful on the track or not. I thought it would do better, heard from one collector who was unable to attend say he would have gone 350. Having to follow the other cars, and being from the Holub collection hurt it. Even the announcers were unsure in how to describe it.


In the long run I do not think the "circus" surronding the selling of these cars will hurt our hobby, but certaintly a black eye for "supercars", and worse yet, Holub, Reggie and B/J.
