Hedrick race car

[sYc]

Mike, I do not think Cliff ever had the Hedrick car.

You see, once I became friends of the gang there at Cliffs, he had me register all of his Yenkos. But, at this time, only a couple of folks had seen the Yenko inventory sheet with Ed's car on it. Well, once I, and a couple of others got to see this sheet and a couple of others, there was the notation about the Hedrick car, as well as the Preston-Lawrence car, and two Gold demo cars. Cliff at one time owned three of the four special cars. Two Gold demo cars, as well as the Preston-Lawrence car. But, the sad part, Cliff had sold the unrestored Gold car to Randy Miller and the Prestion-Lawrence car to Holub before Brian Henderson discovered this information and told Cliff. Worse yet, at least for me, I had the chance to puchase either car. In fact, I had narrrowed down my choice to either the one I bought or the Preston-Lawrence race car. Of coruse, I had no idea that the "other" car was the former P-L car, as it had been restored as a nice driver.

Tom, the saddest of all sad stories is why I didn't make all those unrestored cars "My" collection. The prices for those unrestored Yenkos was between 18 to 20K. That includes the second gold car. What a huge mistake on my part. But, as the saying goes, "If ya ain't got it, it don't matter what the asking price is".

They say hindsight is 20-20, and boy is that true. When I was looking to purchase a Yenko from Cliff, he priced about 15 to me, ranging in price from $18,000 for a unrestored Yenko Camaro to about $60,000 for a fully restored one. Just the other day I told Cliff I should have bought them all. If only I had had the vision, and of course the $$$.

Oh well, thanks to Cliff, Mark and you, I was able to buy the one I have now and have had a blast ever since.

Hopefully the Hedrick car will surface, as well as, many others.

Reckon he'd be up to making a pass or 3 in our DY Yenko Camaro? Probably a lot *tamer* ride than what he's used to, especially since ours is a slush-box (auto) car...
