1969 Yenkos up for auction...seized by US Marshals

[bkhpah]

Just got back home from the auction. While I only really concentrated on the three Yenko cars, the Chevelle was by far and away the best of the three. I bid you off the Chevelle [sorry Ed}. I am pretty certain that the same guy bought the Camaro and the Nova. The auctioneer reminded a bit of Joe Pesci, and he did a great job. It was over in under 40 minutes. They made an announcement that they in no way are responsible for anything wrong with the cars. You buy them, you own them. They encouraged bidders to inspect or have a professional look them over. They also said they did their best to help document the cars with outside inspection, BUT those are not to be taken as correct. Only people in the audience ended up with cars, but once in a while a phone bidder was called out....BKH

John Ursini of Long Island plunked down $315,000 for a 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro, one of just 200 manufactured that year.
John Ursini had the winning bid of $315,000 for a 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro.
It was Ursini’s first time at an auction and, after winning the Camaro, was asking Oseid for help finding someone who could transport the car back to New York. He said he has plans to “flip” it to a new buyer.

“But I’m going to hold onto it for a while,” Ursini said.

Funny thing is the LS6 was restored by RK Motors!! Dave spent a lot of money with them back in the day!! Even the L89 was told to be real from RK for LS6 money..

The Vince Emme document on the Nova has a Notary public stamp from Minnesota with an expiration date of 1993 so the letter would have to predate that up to maybe 5 years or whatever the term of the seal was

The Vince Emme document on the Nova is contained in the paperwork listed on the site. It just says that it's a documented Yenko Nova. Nothing about 427 conversion, but maybe that was assumed to be the case?

Rich - you're helping too many felons find great cars!!! LOL

The Yenko Chevelle was the BEST deal of the day. Orig mileage and drivetrain. The LS6 chevelle non orig motor... That's good money...
