The Yenko Mystique....!

The true Yenko vehicles now for sale on eBay range from a Corvair "Stinger" priced @ $29k+ to a Camaro, @ $325K! Clones and "tribute" cars abound, and some of them are around $65k.

They delivered them in Chicago through Nickey Chevrolet (with a backwards K) and if you bought one on the first weekend, you got to do your test drive with one of the stars of the then immensely popular "Bonanza" TV shows, Lorne Greene, Michael Landon or Dan Blocker, which was a real big deal back then (Chevrolet sponsored "Bonanza").

These things were absolute beasts out the door and apparently there are very few real ones left.

Royal Oak Pontiac did something similar with their Royal Bobcats, but the were more street oriented and never had the degree of panache that the Yenko products did.

By the way, the one on eBay that's selling for $325k now would have been list priced in the mid $4,000's when new.

It would certainly be nice to reminisce about the GTM’s like this 30 years from now.
