69 Motion for auction

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I know the story but I'd like to see paperwork on it. If one of the 69 ZL1's produced had rear discs, it would be neat, but I don't see where that would significantly enhance the value. It's just a brake option

I'm not trying to disrespect JL8 cars, but was simply voicing my opinion. I think the '69 Chevelle with F41 is pretty rare, and can bump the value, but it's just a suspension option. The same idea with JL8, and neither scenario makes the car any faster, nor are they hi-perf options. So, I don't really see what the hype is over JL8 cars. I think they are neat, but.... Maybe it's me!

imo, i would still go with the 68 conv. Z. just for the sake of it being built special for pete estes, not only that, but being crossram and 4 wheel disc. equipped. and irrelevent to my opinion the fact is jl8 cars are very rare and sought after, according to the collectors of today.

To me there is No Contest.
I would Opt for the 1969 ZL-1 Camaro w/RPO-JL8,then remove the RPO-JL8.

If I were a filthy rich man that convertible would be mine. That is my ultimate Camaro.

I hear where you're coming from Marlin. I'd be curious to know how the JL-8 option would affect the value on a non-performance oriented Camaro, say just a plain 327 car. Would the JL-8 option alone make the car super desirable, as I'm sure there were probably way more SS cars and Z/28s that got the rear discs, making the plain janer even more rare and unique, but I don't think the JL-8 alone would make an otherwise ordinary Camaro fetch extraordinary coin. I think it's more of a frosting on the frosting kind of thing. It will add more value and appeal to a car that's already got alot going for it than it will as a rare stand alone option in itself. I think the same can be said for the endura bumper. It's often regarded as a "performance" option as well. I think an endura looks cool especially on certain colors, and generally speaking it makes any given Camaro more desirable, but how many performance oriented new car buyers actually considered it a "performance" option in '69? To be honest I think an endura probably weighs as much or more than a standard chrome bumper. I guess when it comes down to it, it's just a matter of personal preference. Do you want whoa, show, or go?
