Car going to mecum has quite a few issues, looks more like a driver quality restoration. The level one restoration car is much nicer.

The booster and master cylinder are reproductions

That car is a mess. I’m no expert but I started writing down all the wrong and bad things I saw and ran out of ink……

All true, but…. Great colors, great docs, lots (not all) easy fixes. If hidden VINs and ownership history checks out - Could be a great car. It’s a YENKO :-)

totally agree with bergy - u cannot find better docs, and if the vins are untouched - a great car to have and sort out the wrong stuff!

If you read the description, it doesn’t state the engine is the transplanted cone. Single piston Chevelle style rotors/single piston calipers? It doesn’t say anything about matching numbers equipment. If none of it is there…….

I believe Darrel Meister is the current owner. I've never actually seen this car in person. I would be interested to know what the body number is. There is a group of Matador Red RS/SS 68 Yenko Camaros with consecutive body numbers.

Update. Car sold at Mecum. Frank Arone was tasked with making it perfect but discovered it is a rebody. Mecum refunded the purchase and took it back.
