its a black primer 68 Chevelle that has the Yenko stripe kit on the body and on the headrests 
The seats are from a 1970 Monte Carlo too.
The seller should take the high bid and run..I am suprised its gone that high in this economy.
I wonder what the block casting # is?
Oh yeah..and that 136 VIN#
I got one of those shifters in my basement..I guess I should put it on ebay as a Yenko/Hurst Shifter with a buy it now of $1500 based on this car's current price

What a ratty piece of crap. :sad: I love the hardware store bolts all over the engine. And the strange absence of anything electrical anywhere under the hood. Not even a distributor! And to heck with heater hoses or a fan belt. I mean, who bothers with things like that when trying to sell a sub-$4K car for more than $18K, right?
This guy should be locked up for pitching such a scam. Then anybody crazy enough to pay more than $4K for this car should be locked up too - in the state mental hospital. :clonk::wacko:

I agree it is 100% wrong for him to advertise it as something it isn't, but he isn't making anyone buy it. I know what you mean about feeling bad for them but it's a sad fact that the buyer has to be educated on what he is shopping for before he goes shopping.

I know Yenko never used SS cars. I believe they were Malibus or 300s. Only SS pieces were the hood, gauges and maybe suspensions.

Well Ryan, the last bid on the car was $18,100.
The seller then updated his ad stating that the bid was "very close to the selling price."
As others have pointed out, if that were a true Yenko it would be worth way more than $18,100, and a car dealer would know that.
Even though the dealer makes a disclaimer, in very small print, stating that it's "up to the buyer to verify authenticity," he's doing nothing but running a scam with this car.

The 1969 Yenko Chevelle is not an SS or a Malibu
They start out as Malibu then got the RPO SS396 L78 conversion (like the SS396 did) then got the COPO 9562 conversion
They had the Impala (PASS) 427 L72 and special KQ rear installed and most of the SS396 parts but retained some Malibu parts where the SS396 parts could not be used.

I like the column, missing the shifter tho... I really don't know how many Yenko cars were column shifted, Anyone know?

Almost all of the auto trans Yenko Chevelles were factory column shift.
Yenko just removed the chome column shifter arm and installed the Hurst Duel Gate shifter AKA the Hurst His and Her shifter.
The shifter was sold by Hurst as an aftermarket floor conversion shifter and came with a plastic console.
