A 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro Prototype sold for a reported $1,815,000 at Mecum’s Kissimmee auction on January 17, 2026. That total includes the buyer’s premium; the reported hammer price was $1.65 million. The sale was described as a record for a Chevrolet Camaro, not a world record across all vehicles.
How much did the Yenko Camaro Prototype sell for?
The reported final transaction price was $1,815,000. Classic.com’s auction-results archive lists that amount for Mecum lot S109, while Classic Industries’ January 19, 2026 retrospective explains that the car’s $1.65 million hammer price rose to $1,815,000 after the buyer’s premium was included.
Those figures describe two stages of the auction, not conflicting sale prices:
- Hammer price: $1.65 million. The winning bid when the car crossed the block.
- Reported final price: $1,815,000. The total after the buyer’s premium.
Classic.com identifies its result as unofficial, and the available reporting does not include a primary Mecum lot page verifying the 2026 transaction. The price is therefore best described as the reported final sale amount.
