1969 Yenko Camaro at Leake/Kruse Auction in Dallas

[Souperhigh]

Next weekend in Dallas there is a 1969 Yenko Camaro at the Kruse/Leake Auction in Dallas. (Nov.23rd). It is as nice as any in the country.Still has original glass, including the 1973 Pennsylvania safety sticker on the front windshield.It has the original file from Yenko Cheverolet in Cannonsburg,Pa. including the Yenko Invoice dated 7/11/69. The order form for Chevrolet dealers. Dealer copy of the Car shipper from Chevrolet showing it leaving Norwood.A letter from the man who restored it from when he found it and wrote to Ed Cunneen, a copy of the Vettefest national judging in November 1992 scoring a 971 out of 1000 points,a letter from Joel Rosen at Motion Performance telling the first buyer that "sounds like you need a M-22 and possibly a different cluth and shifter assembly" after the first owner kept dumping the transmission while drag racing the car.The protecto plate still intact in its vehicle warrenty booklet,a letter from Ed Cunneen and his COPO Connection after viewing and verifing the car.The customer copy of the Yenko Chevrolet order form, the salesman was Harold Livesey, a copy of the application for the first title in Pennsylvania.
The car is Daytona Yellow, 4 speed,Black vinal top.
The starter has been replaced with a non matching numbers piece.
The wheels are American Torque Thrust wheels, which are the accepted substitute for the origional optional Atlas wheels.
The transmission has been replaced early in the cars life due to failure.
The engine deck may have been surfaced, as no engine stamp indicating assembly date ot engine type can be seen. The casting date of D 28 9 coincides with the build date of the car.
The distributer appears to have been hand stamped with the correct "499" code, it does not appear to be a factory stamping.
Even Ed, himself, could not find any other items incorrect or not in priistine condition.This car would be the centerpiece of anyone's performance car collection.
Brian, you have guessed it, this is the former Dan Bodner Yenko which used to be next to your beautifull former Yenko Camaro at Car shows in and around the northeast.
Gentlemen, it takes alot to buy this car, it has a reserve over $125,000
But the chance of finding a origional car in this shape and with this much paperwork in very hard to do.
Richard Sevenoaks and Jim Leake III are personal friends and I am puttimg this car in their auction, it is not a need to sale, so there won't be any low price selling.This auction also has the ZL-1 #38 in it along with some beautiful LS-6's.
I have listed all the things that keep this car from being the exact car from the dealer so no one can travel and see it and be upset.
The car has 14,200 miles on it. Most were at a quarter of a mile at a time!!!
