Dana Mecum has a bunch of HUGE cars going across the block this spring, including the fastback Cobra that is reported to go for EIGHT figures. Wow.

#1 should go for a boatload as well.

Well, Dana seems like a good guy so I'm glad it's him and not some of the other auctions.

Hey Tim,That Lemans Blue Yenko would have a X-22 code or X-66 code? I remember the early Yenkos were X-66 but I heard there was one or 2 X-22,right?? Awesome car that DH/FG Number 1 69 ZL1 Camaro!Bill Porterfield did it justice bringing it back to its original Dragracing days!!

The orange COPO he has listed is the only X22 car I know of.I have never got a definitive answer on it.It has a build date of 10 or 11 of 68 before the first 2 ZL1's.

I can't believe he would sell that car , that would be a keeper if it were mine.
