Win On Sunday,Lose On Monday

That sounds more realistic.
Here is another Paragraph taken from the same magazine article.
Quoteing Don Yenko:
We did extremely well for about the last eight months of the Year.Then the Insurance Companies caught up with us and started flatly refusing to insure the cars at any amount of Money.This turned the last 100 or so cars into really Distressed Merchandise.We had a heck of a time Selling them.I'll tell you,we'd take anything for them,even to the point of losing Money.We even Seriously considered transplanting our leftover 396's into the COPO cars just to try and get rid of them.Luckily,they did finally sell".

Can you imagine today,trying to negotiate and dicker with the salesman on a Brand New Yenko!

I never had a problem with warranty work. The problem came from insurance. When I bought my 68 Camaro my insurance company checked my record and found out I had some speeding tickets. My insurance went from 200.00 to 850.00 a year. GMC had there own insurance back then so I applied for it when I bought the car and the funny thing is I received two letters in the mail on the same day, one said I had the insurance, when I opened the other letter it said I was cancelled!

Tom;
I know you still bought the Camaro, so what did you do for insurance?

I remember having the same insurance problems when I started driving, but I had no record at all - just a young guy with his own car made my insurance $3,200 a year! My '71 Nova with a 6cyl. only cost me $700, go figure!

Marlin,
I went with the 850.00 a year from original insurance company. That was a lot of money back then! I eventually found some fly- by-night insurnace that was a lot cheaper, I was lucky I never had to use it!
