<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: black69</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Well I finally saw the blue yenko get sold at Mecum Dallas for $140K. I hope the notions on how the car was restored was clearly advertised (i.e. 'properly rebodied' as described in Hemmings Motor News, etc).
Is there a way to 'properly' rebody a car? as opposed to what? Are they saying there is some difference in this rebody and any other rebody? not trying to start anything regarding any car in specific...just curious in the wording.... </div></div>

Re: Unrestored 1969 Yenko Camaro at Mecum
No, I wasn't kidding....all three original VINs are still on the Original cowl panels, which are on this car, based on my opinion.
I did not restore the car or see any restoration pictures, only as found pics. Correct high end Yenko Clones are still bringing $50k, give or take. The best original, unrestored Yenko Camaros are bringing Mid $300s or better. The rest are somewhere inbetween, depending on their history, options, correctness, level of restoration etc...

Re: Unrestored 1969 Yenko Camaro at Mecum
Given the price, it seems obvious that everyone knew the history of this Camaro. The way that I found out about it ... Stephano told me. He has been very straight-forward about the car. JMO, Ed
