I just found a small dealership in Mich, That has a 69 yenko, He is asking $19,900 ..What exactly do I look for to verify it's authenticicty? This car is very nice looking,But has slicks and a B&M shifter and a monster tach. The salesman said as far as he knew it's an original.
It has a 427 with a Holley carb,automatic trans and a posi rear. I want to find out if it's real or not. I have a feeling it's not, But I figure it won't hurt to check.
It's a nice looking car even if it is a clone.
Any tips on what to look for would be greatly appreciated.And what would the trim tag show to help me out?

Thanks,
Paul

Post all the trim tag info and I will help you out. The price is very wrong for a real car though. The old salesman thinks it is routine is a bit long in the tooth too...BKH

Well I went and looked closer at the car and found out it didn't even have a trim tag. First of all the salesman tells me that they removed the tag when yenko made the conversion he thought. He ended every sentence with the words 'I think, I thought or I'm pretty sure.I told him I knew for a fact they didn't. He just tells me, hmmm you learn something new everyday. I guess the car was worth the money anyway ( it is in great shape ) and has a strong running 427.
It turns out they are selling it on consignment so I would have to talk to the original owner to ask any specefic questions.

Oh well, would have been a heck of a deal if it was real.....
