Fred,

Everything that you've said so far is very up front and reasonable. I can't imagine that you have offended anyone.

Thanks for your posts. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Fred,
A Lemans Blue Yenko Camaro that sold out of Broadway Chev. is currently in Iowa. Its the low mile original paint car. A Rallye Green Yenko Camaro from Broadway Chev. was restored by Brian Henderson. It was in Illinois by the early '70's.
Sorry to hear about another "the car is yours" story. We all have many more of these stories. It makes people with integrity that much more appreciated. There are fewer left these days it seems.
Good luck in your Copo search.
Mark

OH - when I looked through the records of the COPO Connection when they were still on Ed's website this car had not been marked as "known" so I just assumed to hadn't been found yet. Has this car been to the reunions and is owned by it's original owner? Anyone know how/when the Blue car ended up in Iowa...thanks for the update Mark

Here is that Blue Yenko Camaro Fred. The owner Donny Hood is a cool dude. One of the best. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

If I were the local law enforcement I would have been all over that stuff when it was first uncovered after all these years and I would be checking the vin #s on all the engines,trans etc. and check them against old vehicle theft records to see if anything raises a red flag. Yes,maybe some big blocks were replaced for small blocks during the gas crunch but what about all those complete small blocks with the exhaust manifolds still attached that are there and the trans. with the shifters still attached to them. Maybe the trailers were welded shut and he didn't talk to anyone about his stash for a reason.It looks more like remnants of a 60's-70's chop shop. But the cars seem to have been purchased legally.
Just a thought.

Hello all, I am a first time poster here and wanted to let you know that I got to meet Larry F. tonight (12/1/05), who is a very nice man by the way, and view his new collection. I took over 100 pics and wanted to share the Yenko pics with you guys. Larry did not have a problem with me doing this so I feel comfortable showing them off to you! I know I did not get some very important detail pics but it was cold and dark in that shed and I to be honest, I don't know what to look for! I tried my best. Note, the pics of the big block by itself is supposibly the original 427 out of this Yenko. I just wanted to share these with you guys and hope you get some use from them. Thanks! http://www.aasencamaros.com/Yenko.html

Cool - thanks for providing these pix. You never know, depending on what happens with the sale and who the car goes to, we may never have seen pix of the unrestored car.

Good Job especially on the firewall/cowl... the two holes to the right of the cowl tag are for a Stewart Warner Tach sending unit (if you didn't know)
