Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

L72 427/425hp, 4.10 axle, M21 4-speed, power disc brakes, Yenko mag wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires, bucket seats, dash-mounted tach, AM radio, Protect-O-Plate. COPO code 9562, originally of the Otis Chandler collection and being sold from the Lingenf

Condition

Very good paint. Straight panels and clean brightwork. The vinyl roof is tight and well installed. The engine compartment is very clean and correct as well as the underside. Inside is clean and orderly with only minor wear to the driver's seat. A well presented Yenko with only a few minor items showing the age of the restoration.

Market commentary

This is an ex-Otis Chandler collection car, honorable provenance that is reflected in this result. It was reported bid to $240,000 at Mecum's Kissimmee auction in 2016, then to $225,000 at Indy four months later and $150,000 at Kissimmee in January of this year. Yenko Chevelles don't have the pop of Yenko Camaros, or even Novas, but this is a quality car at a reasonable price.
