How Many 68 Yenko Camaros are known to be found?

Sixties...How can you say that up until a few weeks ago 67's were never worth a 69 ? When I bought the Blue 68 I paid 35K I think. At that same time Vince was offering me a basket case White 67 for about 55K. Supercars bought the white one and had it restored. He then sold it for over 100K I believe. Around the time I bought the 68, 69's were selling in the 50's and 60's. When Supercars sold the White 67, I don't think any 69's were over 100K. The Orange 69 you just had sold for about 54K at that time. I have no Idea why but it seems to me 67's just bring more.

As everybody has seen on this sight and elsewhere, all of the above mentioned years command sizeable prices. IMO, it comes down ones preference of year. I would personally pay more for a 69 compared to a 67 or 68 of comparable quality. I do not think that you can place a value stature on these cars. A good analogy would be someone who would pay $100,000 for a stamp or a baseball card. It is all about what you are into. We will probably continue to see these cars, regardless of the year, out do each other on a case by case or a preference basis.

Regardless of production figures or price ..I think if you had to choose only 1 for your garage it would be the 69.Something about those stripes !!!!

I know of one 1969 Yenko that sold for well over $100,000.00 two years ago.

So based on the '67 vs '68 thing Supply and Demand which will comand more $$$$ a 67' or '68 Baldwin/Motion Camaro?

I think Clint has a valid point, peoples preference will play into it to some degree. I personally like the '68 Yenko Camaro's better than the '67's, especially an RS, and all things being equal, would pay similar '67 money to obtain the one I wanted. I don't really like the stripes, so the '67's and '68's really appeal to me. Just my .02- cents [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The 68 Camaro is like the 56 Chevy. The middle child somehow never gets the respect it deserves.
