Re: Olympic Gold Yenko
I saw Barrys gold car at Brians shop in early 2002. I immediately fell in love with the car. I saw it before Brian did his work. I Tried 0n 20 different occasions to get Barry to let it go , even before Brian finished it, to no avail. I tried to get it after Brian finished it, it was the car that i always tried to get, but couldn't. I called Barry one last time before i bought the Gold one from Dave Belk. I finally got another Gold one. The 2 will make beautiful bookends. I owned another Gold w/ Black stripe car that needed quite a bit of work and at the time i needed the $$$ for a real estate deal. I am glad i let that one go and got this one. This one has white stripes. To me they are the ultimate yenko. I guess the thrill of the hunt makes it that much more interesting.Barry's is gorgeous, Brian did a great job. I am looking forward to having mine finished, perhaps later this year. The parts are being assembled, we have the correct date coded engine, been media blasted, and is currently underway. I can't wait!

Re: Olympic Gold Yenko
Kevin, there's a pretty extensive post on this car when the seller listed it for sale here. It was initally offered to sYc members at prices from $125K-225K with everybody eventually walking away. Wasn't the car it was....
I think it's a great car and I'm glad you own it with plans to restore it properly. I think we all want to see it ressurected |

Re: Olympic Gold Yenko
I agree with Tom, "Priceless". Jude, i was there in the middle of the meley. Steve originally agreed to sell me the car. I was in Charlotte at the car show. He wanted me to wire hime the money on friday afternoon at 4:45. I called my bank, got it handled, drew up a bill of sale quickly, told him to go to his bank and i would fax it to him to sign before i wired the money. I called him @ 5:00 pm after jumping through hoops while he played everyone against on another. I had Brian Potter look at the car 2 weeks prior to that. Needless to say Steve never showed up at the bank or took my call. I wasn't about to wire the amount we had agreed upon with this guy ( strange). Clint did the right thing by showing up at his house with the money. Needless to say, i payed a lot more for the car, but at least i felt comfortable with the exchange of money and car. This guy had told me he was being investigated for child Molestation. The continually twisting strange late night phone calls, drama, and doing the same thing to 5 other people while playing us all against each other made me uncomfortable with anything with this guy. He lead everyone on a wild goose chase. I ended up getting the car from Belk and Clint.
