<span style="font-style: italic">As for value, recall the 1975 Yenko Trans Am that proved to be a really tough sell</span>

that car is a good benchmark for the discussion here. had a ton of paperwork - no sale at $82,500

That Yenko Trans Am went through Mecum in 2010, no-sale at $82,500, and a year later it was put through Mecum again, this time only bid to $73,000, still no-sale

After a few years off, it's going through Mecum again n Jan 2014.

I thought it was a pretty cool car, but again, a Chevy powered 1975 Pontiac isn't very appealing to Pontiac collectors.

Funny, I just posted about that engine in the new crate engine LS7 thread yesterday. Before I sold that TA to Ed (rip), I took it out one more time to try and get the pedal to the floor. Doing around 100 in 4th, I tried to ease the pedal to the floor, no luck, just started to spin. It had vintage McCreary stars and flag tires though.
