Jim,glad to see the pics from the old days,especially the one with the cop pulling up the driveway,how cool is that! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Anyone remember this car?
 

Just noticed that it looks like a 970 SW tach on the cowl panel. Wonder if that was installed that way by Yenko in lieu of a real "hood tach?" Any ideas Jim?

I'll bet it worked for about 2 days mounted outside the car like that... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Anyone remember this car?
 

Hi Everyone,
I am the original owner of the Humble Hugger. As Sully (the current owner) posted a while back, I had the stripes made without the SYC. Don Yenko had them made for me that way before we had computers to cutout that striping material. I did not want the stripes on the hood, trunk or seats - so Don did not put them on. I was at the dealership when the car came in on the trailer.
The tach on the cowl was put there because the "stock" tach was off 300 - 500 RPM at 6K. We found that on the dyno. The car was NEVER in the rain when I owned it so no problem with exposure. I told Sully I would try and find the pic a photographer took of the car coming off the line at PID. As soon as I find it I will post it. Sully has a bunch of photos I sent him of the car from 1970 - 1974. Maybe he will post them all. Any Questions?

Welcome Jon. Is that a HEMI Dart you're getting the jump on? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Anyone remember this car?
 

VERY COOL!!! Post some pics and tell us what made you decide to go with the Yenko Camaro back then! (besides the obvious!)Did you choose the color? Did you see it before conversion? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Anyone remember this car?
 

Welcome Jon,
Great to hear from the original owner. Maybe we should try and convince Jim to put the striping back to original and lose the emblems. That would set it apart from the others. Just goes to show, never doubt how these cars could be delivered. I have seen the original photos and they are very interesting. Hang around with us Jon. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Hey Supercar,

--------Are you sure that "tach" isnt a fuel pressure guage? The line of the bottom almost looks like Aeroquip and that is a favorite place to hang a FPG. I had one there on "Red Alert"..........Bill S
