That is Copo Pete she car, they took the rearspoiler off to reduce drag at the track, the car has gone as fast as 11.10

Great thread that starts over 4 years ago.

Question, did all of the Yenko Camaro not have the Hp decal, just the 427 cross flags?

Did the air cleaner lids come black like the ZL1 cars ?

It amazes me that at least 80% of the cars have the cowl seal on upside down and inside out! We’re people that clueless in 2014? At least ther were no Ford caution fan stickers

An early shot of a known and documented LeMan's Blue 69 Yenko Chevelle. I need to follow up on the lack of stripe story on this one. Sorry for the sideways photo. I have no idea why it keeps doing that.

#135 I haven't been able to upload photos since the website was updated in 2016. Apparently some upgrades have been made so now I appear to be able to upload photos again. If you guys are interested in seeing some more photos that I've taken since 2016 I'll post them. These photos were taken at MCACN in 2016. This 67 Yenko Camaro is one of the 410 horse automatic cars and is part of the Brothers Collection. I believe it was restored by Level One in Colorado.

#136 This 68 Yenko Camaro RS/SS is YS8027 and is known as the "England Barnfind". When this car was found in 2008 it had 25K miles and was missing it's engine and transmission. Charlie owned it before is was restored by Level One in Colorado. Phil M. had it at MCACN in 2016. There are 7 Matador Red with black vinyl top RS/SS cars that I know of and all of them are 06C cars. I have the body numbers for 4 of these cars and they are all within 10 body numbers of each other. There are some missing YS numbers in the range of these cars as well so there may still be 3 of these Matador Red cars out there.

IIRC, this car was found outside of Flagstaff, in AZ....:headbang:

Here are a couple of links to the car.

It spent a good bit of it's life in England where it was found sitting in a pole barn with an old Ford drag car. It was shipped back to the US in a container in 2008 or so. The guy who brought it back to the US may have been from AZ.

#137 Here is Grady's 69 COPO Camaro N687908. It was purchased from Williams Chevrolet in Lebanon PA. It currently has an L88 backed by the original TH400 and a BE rear. This is one of the best Day 2 cars out there. It was featured in the December '17 issue of Musclecar Review. These pictures are from MCACN in 2016. The cars were parked too close together and weren't parked at an angle so it was kind of hard to take good pictures of them. I also saw this car at the Goodguys event in Columbus in '19. It was parked indoors with the large 69 Camaro display that year. I talked to Grady for about a half hour or so that day. He pointed out a lot of the cool Day 2 items on this car including the JC Penneys slicks.

Love the badge on the back of Grady's D-2 COPO.

#138 This is Kevin DeWitte's original owner Berger COPO car. I believe there were roughly 40 iron block COPO's delivered to Berger along with 1 ZL-1. There were 20 02D cars including the ZL-1 along with 10 05C cars and 11 05D cars. They were all 9737 cars as well with the exception of the Ben Wenzell race car. That was a bare bones X44 car with no spoilers or radio. The rest of the Berger cars that I know of were X11 cars. A number of them also had Endura bumpers and some were RS cars as well. This is N647846 and an 05C car. It was featured in the June '87 issue of Car Craft when Carl Dwiggins owned it, the December '92 issue of Musclecar Review when Milt Robson owned it and the August '10 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines when it was back with Kevin. I believe it still has it's original engine and has around 45K miles on it.

Yes, Bill Porterfield owned ZL-1 #3 back in the late '80's early 90's. It is a mostly original car but last I knew didn't have it's original engine. I believe it does have it's original transmission and rearend. It has about 70% of it's original paint. I believe when Bill bought it there was a black stripe painted down the middle of the car that he had removed. This is the third ZL-1 built, but it's body number is over 10K prior to the Gibb ZL-1's.

The "birthday" (The day he bought it) of Kevin's COPO is I believe today...He used to bring it out to Pavilions on it's birthday :) :headbang:
It's also Kevin's birthday today!

#139 This 69 Camaro RS COPO is Charlie's Texas Field Find that was restored by Level One. Phil M. had it at MCACN in '16. This is N689037 and was sold new at Chas Carter Chevrolet in Bonham TX. There is another COPO from the same dealer one body number after this one. I believe there was a POP found with this car as well.

Here are some more photo's of this 71 Z/28 Baldwin Motion Phase III car from MCACN in 2016. This car also has an LS7 with a 4 speed. I posted pictures of this one before when it was owned by Wayne Schmeeckle. I believe this car is now a part or the Albaugh Collection.
