I believe this chevelle is an original Yenko chevelle
...documentation from Vince Emme
...with build sheet
....I saw the car when it was painted the non-original color ( red ) and the original motor and rear and transmission was out of the car.
....the present owner repainted the car within the last 4 to 6 months and installed the original motor and rear end and transmission ( which I believe may be the original also.)
...Check with the owner if you have questions...but it looks like a good investment.

The auction was ended early. It was up to a little over $87K. Must have had an offer he couldn't refuse.

I thought when this Chevelle was on Ebay recently it was bid up to 85K,with reserve not met.The seller emailed me that 90K takes it.It does look nice.

I don't understand something here. After 1 1/2 days the bidding is over $87K. He ends the auction with 5 1/2 days left and offers the car to some of the bidders at $90K. To me, that is not very smart. Why not let the auction run til the end? The bidding may have reached well over $90K. If it doesn't, then offer it to the high bidder. Am I missing something here?

John,

Was this car ever at the Super Chevy show in Richmond (maybe back in the late 1990's)? I seem to remember a unrestored red car that was claiming to be a Yenko. Did you ever restore your Camaro.

...I never saw it at Richmond...but it may have been at an event I did not attend.
...and I am still driving mine occasionally
and have not attempted a "Frame-Off"...

In the late 90's it was still in IL to my knowledge.
