For what it is worth. The normal skeptics got very skeptical when the only pic you posted was of a Yenko clone that is for sale on the internet. A picture of the real car and it's vin would be a perfect way to silence the skeptics and maybe get a apology out of them.

All the poster needed to do was verify the VIN against the registry. Instead the claims continually changed from "can pick it up for less than 6 figures" to "just wanted to verify my evaluation of a $225,000+ price tag" to "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".

Why get it appraised and undersell the car? The selling price doesn't fit this claim, "It's a yenko 100% original numbers matching never restored". And it also doesn't fit the prices associated with a clone. In his very fist post he noted that it could be picked up for 6 figures and he has the first rights to the car. Yet in his 4th post he states this, "just wanted to verify my evaluation of a $225,000+ price tag". So, some of us skeptics saw an opportunity for a potential buyer to purchase a unrestored 69 Yenko Camaro for under $100,000 (when the poster estimated it's value at $225,000) and watched it fall apart after all these brazen claims and we weren't allowed to be suspicious that it's all fabricated?

I'd be willing to wager we never see the VIN or a TRUE picture of the assumed car. The poster will cry sour grapes and that will be the end of it. Apologize for being skeptical about a poster who wavered as much as he did? No.

K...profile is filled out (hopefully it's up to everyone on this site's standards) and I will reiterate...once I have the vin and pictures I WILL post them...I'm a rather busy individual and I assure you I don't have time to waste let alone waste others time...and just like anything else on the internet...just becauske you read something and it bothers you doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it...I had believed I had found a personal dream car but hadn't received all of my information accurately...if this post offends you that much...feel free to not read it anymore...I know I won't lose any sleep if you choose to go that route

And the 225 evaluation was selling price if I had obtained for under 100...he had it appraised because he wasn't sure on value...clearly he found out...there are no holes my story I'm just waiting on the final accurate information...maybe I was wrong to seek out information without a picture and a vin....this wasn't an every day event for me

If it's a real NOM, 1 owner and all original mint car than the seller was an idiot for letting it go for just north of 205. If it is a clone than he crushed. Sorry folks, but those prices just don't add up.

Who appraised it? That would answer a lot all by itself.
