the view is the late june / july timeframe is the transition timeperiod - however, with transition, nothing is cast in stone.....so very possible or possible a change at the dealer for some reason??

Joe, do you have the proposed Yenko ad?  I'd like to see that and have a copy of that for my records please.  Tom Billigan mentioned this to me but was not able to provide a copy due to a very fuzzy copy that he had. 

If there is a better number to use, or a better reference I would be happy to use that or qualify it that way as well.

Appreciate your help with the ad.

Yes, I am arranging 6 cars to be transported to the show from guys here in Phoenix.  I will be bringing 2 of my own cars, the RG car above and a freshly restored real 69 Yenko Camaro - hugger orange with black vinyl top and TT wheels.  It has the orig - born with motor. 

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

No offense taken on any of the post - looking to have great time at the show and seeing some new cars and meeting some great people.

Hello guys - Ed Montini here..yes that's my car and the other Ed Montini here in AZ is my cousin, he writes for the Arizona Republic.  The car is  1 of the 6 non coverted Yenko Camaro's ....it has all the 9737 Yenko Parts ordered by Don Yenko but was never fully converted to the 427 car. 

I put the hood on the car this past fall for the MCACN show, because i really like the hood and it really enhances the car.  The SS hood is hanging in my garage ready to go back on when I desire or when i ever sell the car. 

Let me know what else you would like to know about the car - all owners of the car as still alive and one owner who did extensive racing with the car is in contact with me regularity...he provide many racing pics, time slips and great stories about the car.  All owners are from Pittsburg area (including myself) .   

Stunning car in person -

Thanks for the compliment Charley!

Thanks for the info steve.....are they avail today new gm or elsewhere?  I need a new set of 4 if you know where to get them.   

I assume the second design your talking about is the 4 small clips rivited toward the center of the height of the trim ring.

i have a 10D (late 69) build car - which trim rings were installed at that time?   

I see the 4 clip rings or the small  inside clips as possibilities. 

Any advise is appreciated

For sure the increased value is realized with the complete orig motor.  You also have to factor in the cost of getting the orig block (and in this case not the whole motor - but block only) back to the condition of what was orig to the car....so in addition to getting the block ready for assembly all the machine work has to be done, correct heads, crank, rods, piston and outside stuff as well to make it 100% correct to get that value Jerry was talking about.  So there are cost that have to be taken into consideration - and the fact is -  if the block is usable in the first place which has to be checked out.   We know the cost of getting the correct dated parts for these cars - no negliable by no standards. 

I do think paperwork is another level of value - possible more important than the block in my opinion. 

I think Van is about right in the range on the fair value - and by the way, there is only one person that would be interested in purchasing that for the value it brings.....

Hope this helps and you car guys work out a fair deal  - mike we applaud you for your efforts in getting this to the rightful owner.

Working on completing the paint on this car - does the X11 car get the blackout tail panel and any other black out trim?

Appreciate the info....

my understanding they are 396/375 hp cars built in GM and delivered that way.....yenko did the conversion at the dealership.  Those special order copo cars had the MV stamped block...
