E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!

[NEATSS]

Sorry!...I posted earlier. I spotted this car Saturday and tried to get contact info that evening and all day Sunday. I should have been on the phone first thing this morning, but I had family business concerning my mother. When I returned home the car was sold! I exposed the car here as a knee jerk reaction to missing my oportunity. Shortly afterward I called and asked Rob to delete my posts on the off hand chance that the new owner did not know what he bought. The dogs have been unleashed and I am sure the feeding frenzie has begun.....sometimes I can be my own worst enemy!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to the new owner!!!...call me if you want sell it for what you paid!!

I actually parked right next to that car at a show in Intercourse (no kidding), PA last month! I was so intrigued by it (140 mph speedo, single 3/8 fuel line,etc) that I called Bob Harris from the show to discuss it. We decided that it may be a copo, but there were a ton of wrong things as well. I even told the owner that he may have a very valuable car on his hands and he should contact Jerry. Arghhhhhh - shoulda, coulda

The car was never restored and the small block heater box appeared to be original??? Also, no cowl hood piercing in the firewall????

Bergy brings up some very good questions. I have only seen the pictures in the ad. I thought that looked like a small block heater box, but the pics aren't real clear. If there is a a typo on the vin list I would think this car would be known by now. Is there any info out there on this vin? 124379N616414

Bergy, you say this car has never been restored. The stripes were added if the owner is correct in saying it was cloned into a Z/28. Did you check the cowl tag for the color? I assumed it wouild show 79 B for the Yenko or 72 A as it is represented. I don't think any Yenkos got white tops. Would't the body number be very helpful? I have lots of other questions, but I guess its too late now.

The owner was a very nice guy, and I was really trying to help him - not buy a copo cheap. I told him that the speedo was from a very valuable car and he should call JM to have him look at it. There were some good signs of it being a copo, but the rear was wrong, radiator, heater box, etc. When I saw that the firewall wasn't pierced for the cowl hood wiring - it looked un-copo like. My bad (really bad)!

Buyer beware, word on the street is this car was located 10 years ago &amp; the tags didn't match.... do your homework!

Thanks for the info guys...

Yep...I've heard that the hidden VIN's don't correlate with the VIN tag...

True or not? I guess that you'd need to see it in person to know for sure...
