Mike, I am not sure if that Monte was in Auto Restorer or not but it was featured in Chevy High Performance about 7 years ago, somewhere I have the issue. It was built by Bruce H. of Bloomington, MN and was a VERY extensive conversion using a convertible frame and ALL the Chevelle convertible bracings. It cost Bruce over $20,000 to build not including his time and was sold to a broker last fall.

Wow, the 67 Yenko almost got as much as a ZL1? What's the story with the ZL1? I thought it would've brought at least $150K if the Yenko got $110K. Was it matching #'s and documented?

I was surprised by the 160K selling price of the LS6 Chevelle rag top. I would have guessed more like 120K. Is it true that the car was owned by Craig Jackson of Barrett Jackson? Did they give the boss's car some extra pumping up beyond their normal pumping? 150K restoration? Great place to sell a car but some of the buyers got hammered.

ZL1 was at Russo Steele which was a little softer. I also thought the car would pull $125+. Also the fact it was a green auto probably didn't help. IMO it would have brought more at Barrett. Russo Steele was a great auction and they are really trying to do it right. High quality cars and treated everyone very well. Free shipping included with the purchase. Food every night ( of which Charley definitely took advantage)!!
