Yenko ZL-1 on ebay

For the same reason a undocumented body shell with a BE axle is accepted as a COPO.

For the same reason a made-over Z/28 with add-on JL8 is involved in a bidding frenzy.

For the same reason a Z/28 on ebay advertised as original with an obviously restamped engine is now over $50,000.

The people now bidding on HP 1969 Camaros are the most gullible group of people on the planet. Knowledgeable enthusiasts aren't bidding on these cars. Watch for the whining when the '69 frenzy wanes and these people learn they got screwed.

Nice looking broach marks and trans designation on that Z. Buyers with little knowledge are getting caught up in the buying frenzy.

Stop the madness.
This is getting way out of hand. He is selling a 6 cylinder car with a V8 trim tag with an aluminum BB (Ok they are not cheap) for over $100k and we can't even sell a 69 SS BB car with a 427 for $27k.???

We are not trying to fool anybody and are not claiming it to be something it's not. What are we doing wrong?? I am confused and don't get it.

Maybe because his car has one of those new aluminum "engiene" with "manuel" transmissions which makes this car above "avarage". Sorry couldn't help myself after reading his auction.

My neck is getting sore from shaking my head so much.

The selling dealer also has some other interesting cars. Claims to have a 70 ram air 4 gto convert with docs., price seems cheap. x44d80, not sure how many blocks yenko cast, but there were different marking on the front of block. Yenko done in letters and then also done with the yenko crest, and on other variation. Roger

Well said William!

I was talking cars with the our church treasurer yesterday, and he has an interesting term for this: The Bigger Fool! He's a car dealer and frequents the Manheim auction, and watches where one 'fool' buys the car in order to sell to 'The Bigger Fool'!! It's sad, but true

What a crock

Now here is another one. It's not a high dollar super car but I find the numbers on this a little strange. Although the VIN is in the build date range compare the VIN with the cowl tag code for the car.
They are claiming numbers matching. Am I missing something? Are convertibles tag differently?

I would question this one as well.

69 trim tags don't use the third digit to identify 6 cyl vs 8 cyl so there is nothing wrong with the trim tag on the 6 cyl convertible.
