Again, no bs, car is sold however...he sold it to a gentleman out of Davis island (if any of you know anything about Florida it's home to some of the richest people in the state) sold for 201,000 he knows he could've gotten much more but apparently is personal friends with the guy and can visit the car whenever he'd like...Regardless I'll have pics and a vin sometime tomorrow I believe...Again this is a legitimate find and would be fantastic if it's one of the ??? Cars on the list...ended up finding out it's apparently 1 of about 140 documented true yenkos in existence anymore...the car is truly my dream car as I am a camaro enthusiast and lifelong Chevrolet fanatic...I'll fill you guys in with the rest of information as I receive it...in the meantime who wants to buy my TBSS? lol

If the owner was a close friend with someone that would step up and pay $201,000 for the car, then he surely wouldnt have given anyone else an option for under $100,000. This doesn't add up... I'm tuning out of this thread. Thanks for the tall tale.

Like 1qwks said,

TBSS --- Totally Bull Shit Story!!!!

Really hope he enjoyed his 15 minutes in the spotlight. He also stated that the car is truly his dream car as he is a camaro enthusiast and
lifelong Chevrolet fanatic. He would have known the answers to all of his question already.

And this would be the reason I've been a &quot;read only&quot; member for the past few months. Every single time someone like myself (a novice or less knowledgeable entity) comes on here to ask a question, share an experience, gather information, or even simply relate a story and request your thoughts, you folks rip them a new one. It's disheartening really when the experts in the field are unapproachable. You folks have been chasing these dreams for decades in most cases, and most of you have fulfilled those dreams. But, are you trying to tell us that during those decades, your heart has never &quot;skipped a beat&quot; at the mention of &quot;a Chevy in a barn,&quot; a &quot;Yenko in a field,&quot; a &quot;guy down the street says...,&quot; &quot;my uncle told me...&quot; You're full of some very choice BS if your answer is no. How about giving the novices a little break? Even if it turns out to be bad information in the end, how exactly does that hurt you? Are you trying to tell me that these stories can't happen anymore? How about I get you guys all riled up again? I have SEEN a Black '69 Yenko Camaro from the street that purportedly has never been altered and has been inside that garage since '71, according to the owners &quot;friend.&quot; Bending over now.............

Okay...yes I knew it would be valuable...yes I know you're all butt hurt...I received a call from my father (someone that has no reason to lie to me whatsoever) telling me he had first rights to the car...and that he wasn't sure if the guy knew what he had or not...clearly if he didn't know he found out...there was no tall tale and 15 minutes in the spotlight? It's an online forum there's no spotlight here...I'm done defending myself over this...I came here for some information and to find true rarity level of a vehicle to this effect...some of you were helpful whereas most have been assholes for lack of a better term...i might have been a little over zealous, but if I was it was just because it's a dream car and I still couldn't believe there was an opportunity for me to own one and with the criteria I was told I thought it might have been feasible.....and tbss is trailblazer ss...

Fwiw...I'm a member on a few other forums, tbssowners &amp; performancetrucks.net, I've never been treated like this on a forum...I'm assuming just based on the model of vehicle that this forum represents that the user base would be in the 40+ age range....crazy to know that the younger generation that represents the other two forums I'm a member of are more willing to actually help someone when they have questions
