"Barn Find" The Last 69 Yenko Camaro......
 

Hey Guys and Gals,

You may know me as "The barn find guy" or "The Automotive Archaeologist". I recently ran the "Barn Find" section at MCACN.

I had this gentleman contact me about his "barn find" (might be a stretch though). He sent me some pictures as he rolled it out of his barn over the weekend. I wanted to get your opinion on it.

It is the last 1969 Yenko Camaro made. Bought from, V.V. Cooke, in Louisville,KY. You can see the cob webs in the pictures of the under carriage. As I was told, all the numbers match. The only things non original are the usual things...tires, belts hoses. He did put a stainless exhaust system under it when he freshened it up, cleaned and painted the frame and bottom of the car as well as putting the original engine back in around 1986.

He left the scattershield on from his racing days. It had a bigger engine in it for a while in the 70's, but still never drove it much. The paint and the interior are original,as is the vinyl top. It is not, a perfect car. It has chips here and there in the paint along with a small amount of rust under the lower edge of the top. Original owner car, says he has all paperwork but the window sticker.

What do you guys think? What's it worth?

Not a big deal but doesn't the upper alternator bracket looks like a '70?

I tried convincing him to bring the car to the MACN show this year but he is too busy. He still drives the car and recently brought the car to work with his weed eater sticking out of the trunk. A customer and his son were looking at the car wondering if it was real. They couldn't believe he was driving it. He told them that's his car and his weed eater!
It never had a 140 speedo, who knows why. It is worth a lot of money thats for sure, one of a handful of original owner Yenko Camaros known.

I've been talking with the owner for a few days. He just wants to get an idea of what people are thinking about the car and what it is worth.

I showed him pictures from MCACN. He was impressed.

Ryan, great to meet you at MCACN (and yes I did track down the owner of the yellow corvette in barn finds section:)) - thanks for bringing us this Yenko story - they are still out there.
