my number is probably off, but the Yenko is the most valuable of the camaro/mustangs. Other than the superbird, AMC and Chrysler are worth less.

If the COPO just went for 120k, which set a record, and doesnt necessarily indicate a new market standard, I would say a less than 100pt copo is worth maybe 90k. roughly what a 90pt 68 or later shelby is worth.

I worked down from there, and from what ive been reading over the years, the fact that it is a survivor doesnt add or subtract from the value.

Dont forget the sellers premium of 10-15%. A private sale at 60 is like a hammer of 70, and a purchase price of 80.

I've owned seven pre 70's mustangs thus I know a thing or two about about them. The 429 Boss is grossly over rated if not comically misplaced for street application. I'd much rather have a Boss 351 with the Cleveland engine. But since I've tried Porsche's 951 I'd never want to go back again Let me tell you something about Mustang's brakes and handling...they suck!

BTW - comparisons with the SCJ and Hemi Cudas is totally off regardless of numbers, it would be like comparing a COPO Camaro (69 or so produced) with a Yenko (180 or so produced iirc)...even with fewer numbers, the COPO is less desireable than a Yenko (still boggles my mind why, but that's the market)...
Actually, originality is tremendously important in the muscle car market. Don't assume otherwise just because some well done cars that are less than original sell well.

Furthermore, a survivor car of this apparent quality is worth considerably more than a resto.

You're comparing brakes and handling on a 60's muscle car to a 80's and 90's sports car. I don't think there's a comparison at all. You're taking 20 years difference in technology. You can't name a muscle car in the 60's that will handle better and brake better than a Porsche in the 80's.
