I guess the owner died, so the family sold eveything to one guy. Take offers lump sum for everything. No parting out.

The Mother Load.. I wonder what he paid..

[pushrod243]

[KUL FIR CHICK N]

This guy's gotta be wondering when he's gonna wake up.

[Steve1968LS2]

I have no other info.. just that I read the that guy died and his family sold off his collection..

I bet the guy got if for cheap.. the Yenko alone is worth quite a bit.. did you see all the FI units and motors, and tannys, and...

[Restomod]

UNreal!!! That guy stepped into a few million bucks...just the cars are worth $$$$$$$$$$ much less the parts....UNreal!

[WS6]

if thats a real survivor yenko which is appears to be then 500k will by that and maybe one of the other not so great cars in the background. if it doesnt go for at least a million id be very suprised. i mean hell one hemi cuda went for one million this is much bigger than that i think.

[DB Z28]

That places is by Green Bay , Wi about 1 hour from me

[Boyd]

I bet this would make an interesting story for an automotive magazine...if I only knew of someone that worked for one....

[baz67]

Charlie where are you

[Nine Ball]

I'm wondering if the Yenko is a clone. If it were a true "survivor", it would have the white sYc painted on the headrests. But, this one doesn't have them.

....and I thought I was a parts pack-rat!

[nancejd]

The rumor I heard was that it was picked up from the widow for 1 mil, and will sell for at least two.

Yenko's are real. A member on Yenko.net posted this.

"First you will notice in my signature that the "yenko" has been removed which only leaves a "copo"...so on with the show. OK I'll give you the short version which will probably end up being the long version so we'll call it my version. All of this started a while back with my trying to locate the lemans blue '69 yenko camaro that was sold out of Broadway Chevrolet in Green Bay, which has not been found yet to my knowledge. I found out in early june that there was still a '69 Yenko Camaro in Green Bay and I got the owners name (Dumpster Don) however I wasn't able to get ahold of him...come to find out he had recently died, I was then able to contact his brother (no help there...they didn't get along) and then his sister who I had found was the executor of his will....now let me tell you about Don Schlag...as you may have noticed earlier in the post he was affectionately nicknamed "Dumpster Don". His dad owned a farm implement dealership in Green Bay which was then given to him by his father which he ran. So you have a guy that's never been married with a decent cash flow from his own business that liked Chevy stuff - Great Recipe. Don would buy things and never sell them and he kept much of it in the basement of the implement building until he sold it at which point he had to move stuff out (that location now is an auto parts store) and the stuff went into trailers. He kept living in a "cracker jack box" house that was next to the dealership and if you walked in the front door that's about as far as you would get because there were Chevy parts piled all over the place. You may wonder how he got all those fuel injection units...well whenever people would have a problem with their poorly running injection unit he would simply trade them for a consistent intake/carb set up. About 10 years ago one of his trailers was broken into which is why the trailors were then all welded closed and placed through out the Green Bay area. I'm sure you are all interested in the Yenko Camaro...a little history first - in talking to a friend of mine he vividly remembers 2 '69 yenko camaros running around green bay in the '70s, one orange and the other green...no blue one...dealer trade perhaps? anyways, Don picked up the orange car around 1971 for either $1200 or $1500 bucks from the original owner and from what i have been able to find out the owner history is known (Don kept a record on the car) back to the original owner and the orange car was sold new through Broadway in Green Bay. Most of this info I have recently found out talking with people who knew Don many of which didn't know what he had because he was a very quiet person and never talked about much. Moving on...I was able to persue the car due to the assistance of a fellow syc member based on the potential selling price of the car (he will remain unnamed unless he wishes to make himself known and which I am very thankful to in allowing me the apportunity to persue the car without any worries) when I contacted Don's sister she had mentioned that she knew that Don a '69 Camaro and I told her I was interested in it as well as be willing to assist in any other way possible...long story short, we had a verbal agreement in late june/early july that I would get first chance at the car when they got around to them and she didn't think that they would get around to them until spring...so fall comes around and she tells me there has been a guy helping out and he's interested in the car and she thought it was only fair he got a chance as well...then come mid of November I call every month like she suggested for an update and she tells me that she sold the entire thing to the guy that was helping them out...which is Larry the current owner of the stuff...talk about your heart falling into your ass...I left out a lot of the conversational pieces between Don's sister and I just cause they don't need to be included, but the point here is and this goes with the topic of trusting someone's word and that is...DON'T trust somebody's word, especially when there is money involved...ALWAYS discuss a selling price and get a written document!...looking back it was difficult at the time to be aggressive yet patient seeing as how the brother had just died and not knowing the sister personally, but they wanted to sell everything so they wouldn't have to deal with it all and he was there with the cash...the family was asking $1 million for everything and Larry got it for a little less than that and he is looking for bids in the 7-figure range. Back when the stuff hadn't sold yet, the VIN number that Roger posted that he was told is the same VIN that I got from Don's sister off of the title which begs the question...where's the discrepancy come in...is it the VV Cooke car?...I could go on and on about this seeing as how I kept my mouth shut about this since late May only to have the car taken out from under me...but, I'm much wiser for it...what really upsets me is that this stuff was bought to flip, not for the love of the hobby but for the money to be made off of it...I will be viewing this stuff next week wednesday and will get as much info as possible...i guess since there is nothing to talk about in regards to the packers this season, something had to happen worth talking about...only is 'sconsin. Now onto the next great Wisconsin find!... "

$1200 or $1500 for the Yenko...I just pooped my pants.

[Steve68]

in 1971 that is, what abeautifual collection of parts

[trapin]

There's a guy in Detroit that has a collection like that. His name is Al Maynard. A lot of the locals know him. He has just about anything you want. I've been through his warehouses...incredible.

Is his warehouse in Farmington? If so I have been there and it is AWSOME.

For anyone who cares, that Dune buggy looks like an original Myers. Not a Yenko, but rare, none the less.
