Equipment
427/425hp L72, 4-speed, COPO 9561 Sports Car Conversion package, chambered exhaust, American Racing wheels, Goodyear Wide Tread GT tires, Protect-O-Plate, power front disc brakes, Stewart Warner gauges, radio.
Condition
From the Wayne Schmeeckle collection. Yenko Camaro built for Jack Douglass Chevrolet in Chicago. One repaint, advertised as otherwise largely original. Detailed engine bay, almost spotless. Newer upholstery and carpets but otherwise very sound original interior. A few small scratches on the rear bumper. Small chip at the back of the driver door. Original but very clean underneath. Good, straight roof vinyl. Not a trailer queen but a significant and rare Yenko that you would feel guilty about actually laying down some rubber in.
Market commentary
Offered by Mecum at the old Spring Classic in Belvidere (Rockford) in 2007 with a reported high bid of $270,000 when it was in essentially the same condition as here and showed 203 fewer miles, so someone has actually toasted a few tires with it in the last nine years. Its rarity as a Jack Douglass Yenko is offset by it not being delivered through Cannonsburg, but is enhanced by its originality which makes the price it brought a good balance.
