E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone! - Page 20

Amen Tim - history is evrything! The ability to contact old owners and see old pictures. The full story with names and contact info. Only when this is in place - would I consider spending a lot of resources (and beer) tearing a car apart.

Jim - Since I don't consider this an investment - the real, true, story behind the car is everything to me! It's what motivates me (evidently not everyone though). When and if this car ever gets restored is secondary.

I think this car will turn out to be worth it at the end of the day. It could be restored as a yenko (if most of the body build date codes make sense), and would not be a clone.

That would be pretty cool based on the purchase price versus a no question asked yenko. I would call it something in between the real deal and a clone. And over time, who knows what will present itself for purchase (the orignal engine, the tags, etc).

It is funny if this car, turns out to have more original sheetmetal in it, versus a car that had a rebody done around an original firewall. What can be really valueable to this cars value, is who will be present when the body is stripped to authenticate it. Jerry M should be there, Steve from the vintage judging should be there, Kurt from camaros.org should be there in my mind. The beer would have to be really good for that to happen.

Then the body could wear yenko stripes with pride.

I'm not sure anyone has to be there in person, good detailed pics would likely suffice - I just wanted a reason to take a day off work and drink some beer in front of an old Camaro! Plus, I've never met Bergy, wouldn't mind shootin the bull with him and his cars....

Hey Bergy - Thanks for sharing all of this with us fellow car nuts!!! It's pretty damn cool of you to keep us up on what is going on with this car and putting up with the nay-sayers.

If anyone has seen the pics or read the numerous threads of what Bergy has in sitting his garage they would know the value of this car being a Yenko is definitely not his motivation for what he is doing.

He is a guy who loves these damn old cars and can't keep himself from buyen em, figuring out the story behind em and makin em look damn good once again!!!

Awsome story! Can't wait to see how it ends!!!

I think Bergy should consider a new business opportunity. I would pay him to put in this much research in my car's history.

In 1990, this car was for sale and in an area not mentioned in all of the above posts, and also was painted a different color than red, green, white, etc.
