I fear the same happened to my dad's '66 Caprice wagon. Been looking for it, or a dead ringer, for a few years now. Same with my folks' old '77 LTD. I had found one identical, but a '78, in mint shape for cheap, but the guy never got back to me.

Sorry Tom,
I think the 74 Plymouth Fury wagon probably went to the crusher ages ago and was turned into razor blades. If it was somewhere in mothballs I would have dropped you a line and told you about it. In you case it at least if the Indians attack you can circle the wagons!

Also, had to post this pic of my Colony Park, parked behind my friend's Yenko Deuce.

Is that a 1970?

I'd be lying to you if I told you I was 100% sure, but I think so.

Is that a legit Yenko???

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Yes it is. He's owned it since 1976. Fully documented.

Crazy cool. Any more pics??? I knew a guy that had one of ~200 COPO ’69 Camaros. I've never seen one of those (great green too) though - they didn't get respect when I was in high school. Look who's laughing now!

Geez! That thing is worth a fortune now. Trade him for it.

I had a '69 Z/28, 302 in high school. Girlfriends dad was a collector of 40's & 50's coupes. Bought it in NY "'cause it was pretty". Sold it to me for what he paid. I was the king of the town. If Ida kept 'Er, shed be worth a fortune today. Such is life.

I had a '69 2 door Nova with 307 2 barrel carb auto transmission. A classmate had 350 4 barrel with 3 speed manual that he put a Hurst speed shifter on. No contest....

I don't have anymore pics, unfortunately. I'll see if I can get more.

When I was there, he told me he had gotten an offer of $75,000, and that he would take $100,000 for it. He's too smart to go for a trade with me lol

Geez! That thing is worth a fortune now. Trade him for it.

Had a '72 Nova SS with a 454 under the hood. It was an original SS 454 car, but the stock engine had been blown and was replaced with an all aluminum monster built by Scoggin-Dickey (GMs biggest performance parts center at that time). The car was a beast on the dragstrip.

Now this is why I still have my first car. I wouldn't let a 57 chevy go to replace it with some modern crap.

I felt the same way about my Flivver when compared to all of that modern 'fifties and 'sixties crap.

Ugly and plastic leaves plenty of room for dispute.

Ugly and plastic?

Well there were a very few Electrose moldings in the headlight plugs, the light switch, and the magneto post, but although a 1919 Ford coupe would hardly be called beautiful by very many, I fail to see where "ugly and plastic" comes in.

Is that a legit Yenko???

Well yeah, it's got it right on the side.
$75K is about right in this market, maybe a bit higher if you have 2 guys with too much money in their pockets.
Color of course is everything, now I'm partial to green, don't know why but that's my color, and we had a 4 door Nova that exact color when I was a kid. Red or even yellow might bring more IMHO.
Whatever you do Tom, don't race him for pinks. I mean, what would you do with a 2 door car?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

My current engines are a 302, a 307 Olds, a 318, an LT1 350, and a 351 Windsor. None of them stand a chance against a Yenko, especially considering that my wagon pictured with it is among the smaller of my vehicles lol

I do want a 2-door car, though, but thinking more something like these:

 

[scottyrocks]

That's about a 20 year span there, Tom. I'll take the Chevy, tyvm.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Oh, I know, but in my humble opinion, it was the heyday for the automobile. My Great-Grandpa had a Caprice in the same colors and everything. Always thought it was a really cool car.
