.... I will say that if Don Yenko was posting on this board right now and said there were no L89 novas available to him in 1969 youd certainly take that as fact.....

Nope!! I have seen enough of Don's tall tales in print, and the claims of productions figures.... (there were 500 Yenko Camaros remember? He also claims to have sold a few hundred Deuces!) I wouldn't believe a L89 Nova statement like that from him.

Most still say there was never a 70 L78 Turbo 400 Camaro built also.... :-)

while Burr is still here I'll post that he doesn't ever remember any L89 Nova's. The 2 I were thinking of were both iron head 396. The interesting one he does clearly remember is a '69 L89 El Camino that ended up being totaled with 268 miles on it just outside Rimersburg, PA. Car went to Sharon Auto Wrecking.

[/ QUOTE ] So if it was Don Yenkos personal opinion with his background versus that of someone you dont know that hasnt come forward with any legitimate proof youd give them both the same merit??? [ QUOTE ]
there were 500 Yenko Camaros remember

[/ QUOTE ] Givan that the "yenko" from that parts collection that was for sale in wisconsin wasnt on the yenko list of 201,how do you know he didnt have the production of 500 figure right? Or for that matter how do we know the 200 figure was right and not the 500??

The only reason it was not on the known Yenko list is because Vince Emme didn't give all the serial numbers out. Some of the inventory pages (and vins) are only known by Vince. The Green Bay Yenko Camaro was one of those cars. With at least 150 of the 201 found, there has never been a Yenko Camaro ('69) found that is not within the known Yenko orders.

I think he's referring to the Estes' '68...isn't he?.

I'd believe more in the possibility of a '69 L89 Nova before a '69 Z28 rag?.
