Interesting...then the email I got back during the Ebay auction was from a broker, or his brother, or...?

Fist would would like to explain the position of AAEML. AAEML is an advertising company that creates ebay auction ads for clients. Our clients either have their own ebay account or we create one for them "That is why yenkocopo has a zero rating". We do this so all our clients build their identity, not ours and the fact most of our clients have several cars to sell.

We believe that what our clients tell us they have to sell, they actually have. I have spoke to people from Yenko and Copo and neither can say for sure that this is not what our clients say that is. If either Yenko or Copo could tell me 100% that this car is a fraud, we would of pulled the auction, but being under contract with our clients we had no choice but to run this auction to the end. Besides nobody would buy a car like this off of ebay or anywhere else with out an inspection of the vehicle.

Of more interest is the fact that during the auction the seller (Mike, or Tony, or AAEML, or whoever it was) was telling people that both my father and Warren knew of the car and they believed it was real, which was totally untrue...dad knew nothing of the car other than the Hemmings ad, and Warren knew nothing of the car either (and he was in charge of the Hi-perf/Racing department at Yenko back in the day). Neither believed the part about Sun or the McMurray address, or why there were repop emblems on the car...

Anyway, after the auction, the seller called dad about 1/2 dozen times about the car, wondering why we dis-believed the story surrounding it...btw, the part about finding the window sticker laminated, and behind the rear seat was a nice touch! Anyway, as I told "Tony", my thoughts were the car was probably indeed a COPO, from a dealer other than Yenko (being black I guessed Scuncio), and somewhere along the line one of it's owner's was told that only Yenko got 427 Chevelles so on went the paint/stripes/emblems to help justify it's 427 origins...

Believe me, being a Chevelle guy I was hoping and praying it was the real deal...
