'66 ZL1 Corvette

Daniel -- I'll be the first to admit I "butchered" a Cortez Silver Yenko Deuce that I picked up for a song in the early 70s ... I had no idea what it was or what it would be worth in the future.

At that time I was really into IMSA and local stock car racing, so I decided I wanted something like that for the street. Now realize the body on the Yenko was not perfect as it had been backed into, hit in parking lots and had other street battle damage so I decided to cut out the fenders, lower it and add Flares -- it did look pretty nice after it was completed ... even had the Yenko stripes coustomized and painted on.

At a later time (after I had sold the car) I found out what it was and its value -- I then had regrets. As you indicated "Fulfilling a vision or goal for car ownership is what makes this hobby tick". The car had its own reputation in central Illinois.

I sold that customized Yenko and the last I heard, it was in or around Coupeville, Washington -- have not heard hide nor hair of its existance since then.
