Very cool pic! Looks like a Yenko to me, nice emblem on that hood!

What do you think Mike? I see the BMS decal on the front fender for BMS Competition Engines in Syracuse, but I also see the Dick Arons Racing Engines on there. What has your research turned up?

I have a shot of that car and thought that too,But this car is to be a X-44 car not X-66.But anything is possible."MOF"

Re: Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay/Second Thread
 

What kind of paint scheme is on that car in the picture? Is that white on Hugger Orange?

Re: Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay/Second Thread
 

Awesome picture. I've seen a picture of their car in the BMS shop but it was somewhat unclear. You could see the hood emblem and the tac from my picture. The above race car is definitely a Yenko. I do not think it is the car that Duane now owns. BMS built Bresee's race cars as well as their own.

You sure it's a Yenko and not a COPO? I don't see SYC on the seat headrests in that pic. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Just an observation.

Re: Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay/Second Thread
 

It's definitely a Yenko, as Marlin noted, the Yenko 427 emblems are evident on the hood, in the "standard" Yenko location. I have heard there was more than one car that didn't get headrest decals, and they were easily removed anyhow, (as were the side stripes.) Something you probably can't see in the pic is that right below the "Bresee Chevytown" lettering on the door, it also has lettered "A YENKO DEALER". The pic is black and white, so your guess is as good as mine as to the actual color combo... but I would say there's as good chance its hugger orange as any...the tiger mascot in the passenger seat would be a good match with an orange car... just a thought. Mayor, i too noticed the trim on the 1/4 panels, but if you note, it also lacks black paint on the rockers, which an X66 car would also have...it COULD be an X44 car with the trim added... anything's possible. I'm not trying to say this is definitely the car in question, just a neat pic of a Bresee Yenko I dug out of my "archives", and one I thought you guys would enjoy looking at between arguing with each other [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Just a quick note....my Y Chevelle was delivered without SYC stickers on headrests.

Re: Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay/Second Thread
 

Thanks for posting the picture Joe. I'm glad you did! Gotta love these old race photos!!! Please post more....if you have them. Prior to this Camaro Bresee raced a '68 Chevy II and before that a '65 Chevelle with a big block and a cross ram manifold. Any chance I could get you to make a copy of this photo for me? PM me. Any idea what track and date this was??

Thanks for the compliment...thats the only shot I have of that car...Sorry Mike, I don't generally make copies or reprints of anything in my collection, but at least I posted it here for you to see! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
