Check out the starting bid....

All I can say is.... HOLY SHIT!




(IF this guy gets anything close to that, Red Death is getting posted up on Ebay 5 minutes after his auction ends.)

You know the drivetrain and history of the car are worth alot but damn. That car is trashed.

Good Lawd, that car is has been beat to hell and back.

Sorry but I don't care what history that car has to it, I'll buy the book and let someone ELSE buy a complete disgrace for $20k.

That's not even a frame off resto.... That's more like a GROUND UP fab job.

Good Christ! There is virtually NOTHING there to work with... and the crazy bastard wants $20K!

WOW...that's all I know to say. I honestly wouldn't give over $100 for it.

looks like it would collapse if you stepped inside. how did it get in such a bad state? some parts like bits of the diff looked to be in reasonable condition but overall it's useless.

Thats what happens to cars over time that are made mostly of Iron and steel and not rust proofed. Shit gets crusty and falls apart,

Hey that car is somewhere around by me.

...I just stepped into something didn't I?

More Pics. Firsthand report. Now.

Please?

lol

He's calling the car a Big Block Diamond in the Rough.

looks like he pulled it out of a river...

Doesnt even have a front clip! I think if you sandblasted the block would be the only thing left.

You cant even tell that thing is a Camaro from the front, since ITS ALL MISSING.. wth, I seriously cant see someone paying that much for it..

ridiculous. maybe when i've hit the lotto three times in a row and i'm going through a midlife crisis.

Anyone notice there are no bids on it yet? I did a full resto on a 73, car was in much better shape than that rustbucket, still took around 2000 hours of labor and alot of money (helps when 5 people are working on it). Was it worth it? Yes. Is that car worth it? To the right person, yes, but not for $20k.

Is that one of those cars that MAY be worth 100k if fully restored?

That car had so much rust that I don't think that it would even be worth trying to do anything with. You might as well build one from scratch because that's what you'll be doing with that thing.

Hell no, i'm not buying it. I'm asking if it's that rare though. Mileage counts for it also, and that, looks like it's had a lot...but with reasonable mileage, and he said it WAS a Yenko? I've seen one of those so far, are they rare?

Yenkos are rare.. REALLY rare.. 427 Big block.. they go for around 60K but that rustmaro right there is a pace car..

I saw a Yenko at a car show in Carlsbad NM a few years ago, it was the most awesome car ever!

that car has been relisted many times. i'd rather have this;

thats an expensive third gen

4065 lbs!? Very nice car.

4065 lbs!? Very nice car.
thats not the actual weight. that is with a full tank of gas and 4 people in the car. or did u know that already, lol

Haha, nope. Thanks.

im hoping to see some yenkos at carlisle next week. i know there will be some baldwin motion cars. that guy is trying to sell that rust bucket pace car for alot because its a 396 pace car, not a 350 like most of them. i think the rarest pace car is the 69 Z10 pace car hardtop. supposedly chevy made around 200 for pace car buyers that lived in the northern states that would not utilize a convertable. i have never seen one at barrett jackson or anywhere like that. i have only seen a couple photos.

There was a yenko at the car show I went to Saturday, put on by the locals. I wish I had pics, but it was freshly painted a nice green with the 427. Its air filter boasted 450hp. That is the only car worth mentioning from the show, besided the 2 scions who thought they were cool shit and parked on the grass. They had stickers and paint! Every ricer's dream.
Oh, there was an orginal 350 pace car camaro. 1st Gen, don't remember year though.

wow. that rusty thing.. whoevers selling it got balls. haha, the 1LE guy..whoever bought that thing stocker, is smart. keep everything soo clean. haha, well hope it still runs good since its just been sitting for so long.. =P

i wish i had me one of those..

wait.

actually

i dont, i want a car to beat..

i want a 2002 BLACK SS camaro.. M6, the works. :D sexy.

Whoever asked if that car COULD be worth $100k... NOT TO ME!

wtf? l am gonna get this car and put it in front of my house and tell everyone that l got a 69 camaro pace car?? l would prefer to get a honda... at least they run :)

Well you COULd do that, but im sure you could find a running 69 Pace car with the same engine in it for the same price..

If it were still a numbers matching original, you'd probably choke to death on what that car will go for when it's cleaned up. And, he'd be doing much better off with some better pictures, that car is not in that bad of shape, alot of work, but salvagable.

You Chicago people need some fresh air....:screwy: and some glasses. That thing was in such bad shape that it was missing most of the parts to the car, which had the numbers on them. :cwm27: ANYONE can find a numbers matching trans and engine. It's the rest of the car that's the problem... especially considering it's not there.:rofl: :lol:

Anyone with some talent can fabricate a car around the motor and trans and come up with a "restored camaro". Problem is, they're never gonna tell you that the frame, body, interior, half the motor and a whole bunch of other stuff came off Goodmark's (and other resto companies') assembly line last week and is brand spanking new.

lol, hey dont judge us chicago people by wright. i've never met such an optimistic chicagoin. i wouldnt even rate that car being ready for the junk yard. the junk yard might imply that someone else is able to use a part or two from it. that thing is DONE.

There isn't even anything to stick a fork into...

I'd say crusher... but there isn't even metal there worth saving...

No faith.

And, in my neighborhood, we recycle :lol2:

lol, hey dont judge us chicago people by wright. i've never met such an optimistic chicagoin. .

Would you like your knife back now or later?

lol hey man im on your side! well... as long as you're rooting for the right baseball team......i trust neither one of us is a cubs fan.

:lol:

Unless I'm at a game, in a batting cage or stuck at a bar with a gaggle of cackleing hens and with nothing else to watch, I could give 2 ticks on a dogs ass about baseball. Pretty much all spots all together. Why the hell should I pay my hard earned in moeny to watch a group of millionaires play a game, FOR A LIVING!!!, then complain they need another couple of mill. per year :wtf:

However, georgraphically, and for the nostalgia, and the fact that Wrigley Field, IS the worlds largest outdoor beer garden, hey,











North Side! :flipa:

Baseball is totally worthless. I honestly think that professional wrestling has less cheating than baseball, or football for that matter. Whiney, cheating pussies, the whole lot of 'em.

Now, I really like hockey, but haven't really been into it since Pelle Lindberg died.

I KNEW IT!!!!
though im with you %100. i dont watch tv, much less sports. ive been to one or two baseball games ever, and i was kind of a fan when i was alot younger but...i dont care much about it anymore. its more or less just one of those questions you have to ask a fellow chicagoin. im from hyde park(south side) so i was just always a sox fan, wheather i knew what was going on in the game or not, lol.
going to 'the taste' this year?

Now, I really like hockey, but haven't really been into it since Pelle Lindberg died.

Emm, I seem to recall a season nearly lost to the greed of the players there :dunno:

going to 'the taste' this year?

Am i going to the Rape of Chicago? Not too sure. Although they are supposed to be expanding the selection, FINALLY. But I haven't been to it in a few years now. Too damn pricey and crowded. i do miss the fireworks display tho.

I only used to go there for the ribs, but now I live 5 minutes form Robinson's rib house in Broadview, actually used to work right next store, they know me as the "crazy white guy" because I get the extra hot rib tips that supposidly not too many people can tolerate, i think they're tasty :dunno:

Started in Rogers Park, then ended up in Olde Irving Park (Irving & Pulaski)

Emm, I seem to recall a season nearly lost to the greed of the players there :dunno:

Pelle died like 21 years ago (HOLY SHIT I AM GETTING OLD)... no strikes back then. Coulda been the best ever. Was going to meet him as a christmas present from my mother, who's friend was an exec for the flyers organization. Unfortunately poontang and booze caught up with him.... ran his Porsche into a brick wall.

Haven't really watched it since. Like going to games, but since they are usually running during tax season, it doesn't happen very often.

And I rarely watch TV, my Maro is plenty of excuse to get me out of the house.

HAH! You AIN'T gonna believe this...

i believe it.

ok. Is that IT? :eek: At least when we randomly post comments that are directly related to the thread topic we do so when it still matters. :lol:

lol, We were done with that rusted out piece of crap about a whole page ago...:rofl:

A little elbow grease and a large bank account and it will be fine :thumbsup:

I guess we weren't done yet after all...

lol... You'd have a cheaper and easier time converting a 73 El Dorado into a communications satellite than restoring THAT sumbich.

Now thats something worth investing all my money in!

Thanks for the suggestion Jim! :icon16:

Sounds like an interesting challenge, and to save funds after the cost of converting it, it shall be ran on natural methane.

Em, what time should I pickup Earl? :lol:

some things are worth spend extra money on... not having your satellite smell that bad is one of them.

Who give a damn what it smells like? It in space :dunno:

I'm just going by what I heard and I heard Earl's farts are powerful.

i didnt know badsmelling satellites were becoming such a problem. :)
perhaps the real reason for global warming?? hmm...

I didnt know smells could go through all the layers of our atmosphere to reach down a person..

Quite a way to go if you think about it. :lol2:

is it that inconceivable? hydrogen sulfide originating from the depths of our ocean escapes the earth by means of the atmosphere on a constant basis.

;)

uh... yeah... that thing is a rust bucket.

I've been telling my local congressmen to pull our troops out of Afganistan and send in Earl to get Bin shithead.
