Re: Danbury Mint to release new 1/24th Yenko Camaro
 

Steve,

Is that your Hugger Orange Yenko? If so, what was the
approximate build date? I noticed that your car has the
rear panel blacked-out. Wasn't that an early Yenko
phenomenon?

BTW, I like the 24/24 scale too. Can you get one for the
price of a Danbury Mint die-cast? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

The first 50 cars were X66 cars and had the rear panel blackout just like the 396 SS cars. All were O1B cars...BKH

With a black grille? Seems to be the 'wrong' detail. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

That must be a picture of the prototype because I have 3 Creative Master '69 Z's (2 Hugger Orange & 1 LeMans Blue)and all three have silver grilles.

The detail on these is awesome,especially with the real metal emblems.

For all you 2nd. Gen fans,Franklin Mint is coming out with a '70 1/2 Z/28 in various colors ($69) and it is due to ship in December.I have pre-ordered mine in Hugger Orange of course from Supercar Collectables.

Once again I have miss-spoke and must correct myself:

I came home this evening and checked my CM '69 Z's and low and behold: They all have black grilles.

I originally posted from work based on what I thought must be correct-a silver grille on a '69 Z/28.

Now I apoligize for that mistake.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Wow, they really nailed it, especially with those "Atlas" wheels and tall 70s. I'm putting one of these on my Christmas list.

Re: Danbury Mint to release new 1/24th Yenko Camar
 

The detail and proportions look really good. Makes Ertl's 69 Camaro look like it was whittled out of a bar of soap. Just one question...where are the Wide Tread GTs?

Re: Danbury Mint to release new 1/24th Yenko Camar
 

Not sure why no WTGT's. Perhaps a naming rights thing on Goodyears part. I just recieved a flyer for the new Yenko release. The flyer itself is a neat piece...BKH

I used to be in love with Lemans Blue Yenkos with rally rims...but these hugger orange cars, especially with the Atlas rims, are really starting to tickle my fancy!

I think Hugger Orange is perhaps the best color for a 1969 Camaro possible.LeMans Blue a close second in my book too...

When will these models be available? It really looks awesome. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
