I was looking on the site and they have some very nice cars coming up.
I like the 70 Super bird 440 6pack with a 4 speed.

No air !
What will be the selling price ? This car was one of 5 different cameros that the Keith Hutson Collection sold for 1,785,000 dollars in 2005.
Here's another of the cars-1967 Yenko camaro.

Try the first generation ZL-1 camaro.
quote:The ZL1 Camaro is likely the most legendary vehicle in a long and storied history of Chevrolet muscle cars. Although only 69 ZL1s slipped out GM's doors, the ones that did were the fastest cars GM would sell for decades to come. The name of the all-aluminum 427 V8 became synonymous with what remains one of the most potent Camaros to ever leave the factory.

I did not see one Dale Earnhardt signature on the entire car.

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

LMAO... Lets line that COPO up with my 704HP Earnhardt Camaro and run them for the titles. Hell the Jr. 525HP will out run it also. It might be a good run but I doubt it would outrun the Callaway 475HP one either.
Sometimes when given an opportunity to demonstrate foolishness, it is good to decline.

Well heck, my F150 will beat it if it's only doing 60 and I'm doing 65. What the possible hell is your point?

Something tells me you have utterly no clue what makes a car valuable.
Please cut and paste anything on the thread I said it wasn't valuable. I will wait.

Sorry didn't happen.

Fixed it for you.
I am not sure what to do with someone who states that his cars with more horsepower and several decades of improvements in traction and suspension technology will outperform a car lacking those attributes.
Paging Captain Obvious. Please pick up a white Courtesy Phone for a message...
LOL I'd blow it on fast cars bikes boats and wimmens[8D]
PS there will ALWAYS be some one faster.[;)]
The kicker was that he and I worked for the same company and we both got laid off. He decided to sell it fearing a long layoff. He advertised it in one of the car mags. One day he comes home from a temp job and his wife says, I forgot to tell you someone called about your car the other day. He left his name and number......Reggie Jackson. He bought the car.
I knew a guy that owned one. Drove it back in the 70's and early 80's not knowing it was one of the original 69 cars. When he discovered what he had he restored it. And yes he put an all aluminum 427 in, including the air injection pump and lines. I saw the car when it was finished and before he sold it.

This it?
A genuine Yenko '69 Camaro is certainly desirable, but hardly the holy grail.
I don't know about that. They only made 60 Yenko Camaros in 1968 and 60 in 1969. I had a chance to buy a 68 Yanko back in 1973. He wanted $2200 for it and it was from Florida and really nice. I couldn't get a loan for it because they wouldn't loan me $2200 for a used car that was 5 years old and sold new for $2700.They went by blue book on used cars and didn't care what it represented.

Holy cow.. don't mention any deals on this forum... a few will get upset and start whining like a supercharger.

54 were made in 1967.
Nothing came up about Camaro's when searching for "Holy Grail". A corvette was mentioned.
Bidding on this car is expected to reach the neighborhood of $500K to $750K. Clearly the L88 is no secret among Corvette collectors?instead it?s more like the holy grail.

an
It would be a wonderful one to own
I remember early on going to the super chevy shows at Indy
several original Yenco camaros and a nova for sale 10 to 12k each even a ZL1 camaro for around 20k /25k at the time yes it was long time ago [:(]
at the time that was just about 3x what a real nice true 69 Z28 was selling for
at the time no way could I have come up with the $$ to have took one home .
sadly the Hemi mopars were the same story for me I remember a few at 6K before the collectors and investors jumped on the wagon
