Yenko in Eastern Ohio for $3500
A '69 Yenko Camaro sold for $3500 in July of 1992 in Bellaire Ohio. The car was advertised in the "Green Tab" a local free trader newspaper. Very poor condition with no motor or tranny. I believe the car was originally blue. A man sold it for his son who was arrested and had to get bail money. The son had the car in a garage for 15+ years and had many offers to sell but never would. From what I remember he bought the car from a Ohio or W.Va state trooper who himself bought it from either a dealer new or second owner. I was told the trooper lived in Moundsville W.VA. Soon after the sale in '92, a local used car lot, Tracy's Auto Sales had the car and was asking $25,000. Again, this car was in very very poor condition. Many people knew about this car over the years and tried to buy it but the guy would never sell it. Does anyone know where this car ended up? The car lot closed up a year or two later.I've talked with many local people over the last few years who remembered the car from early '70's in its Yenko stripes.
