Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#105. This is the first COPO 9561 Camaro built and it is an 01B X22 car with a 713 black houndstooth interior. It was sold new at Courtesy Chevrolet in Sebring OH. It was advertised as a numbers matching car with 21K miles and having it's original window sticker and POP. I first saw this car at the Chevy Vette Fest in 2003 when the Adcock brothers owned it. I have the order number as NOR221873 which is later than the first 120 Yenko's, but it was produced before any of them were.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#106. This COPO Chevelle is 1 of 3 known Tuxedo Black cars and the only 4 speed. It was sold new at Wagner Chevrolet in Wauseon OH. It was listed as a numbers matching car with 2 build sheets. It was the November 2008 Supercar feature on this site when it was owned by K. DeWitte. Prior to that I believe it was owned by D. Bridges and restored by M. Hale.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Who owns it now?

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

It's in a private collection in the Midwest.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#107. This 67 Yenko Camaro is YS713 and was sold new at Central Chevrolet in West Springfield MA. This is the first 67 Yenko Camaro I ever saw when J. Parks had it at Super Chevy in Indy back in the mid 80's. This was advertised as a 24.6K mile unrestored car with 1 repaint. It is documented with the original window sticker, Yenko invoices and the POP. It was a part of the Dave Christenholz Collection.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

I saw this black Yenko and the red '67 Dana Camaro many years ago when both still had original paint. They were in <span style="font-style: italic">excellent</span> condition but perfection was the mind-set in those days. Neither should have been repainted.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#108. This COPO Camaro was sold new at Queen City in Cincinnati OH and is VIN N666906. It was raced as &quot;Hoosier Hell&quot; and supposedly never street driven. It is an M22 car and was advertised as having all original sheet metal and it's original POP.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Is/was that &quot;Adcock Brothers&quot; car, owned by the Manheim PA &quot;Adcock Brothers&quot;?

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

I believe the Adcock brothers were from Indiana. They used to show up at the Super Chevy Show in Indy every year with a different Camaro. Off hand the one's I remember were a Tuxedo Black 69 Z/28 with red stripes, a Daytona Yellow 69 Yenko Camaro with a black top and stripes, a Hugger Orange Canadian COPO Camaro, a Cortez Silver 69 Z/28 and a Nevada Silver 71 Z/28. They had the Hugger Orange X22 COPO at the Chevy Vette Fest in Chicago. I believe their names were Bob and Larry, but I haven't seen them in 5 or 6 years.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Thanks. They are different guys. The Adcocks I know are car guys, but not necessarily &quot;classic&quot; car guys. They have quite an operation at Manheim, PA and own another car auction, too. Many years ago, they did have a green HemiCuda at Atlantic City that sold for $47K (if my memory isn't failing) and jaws hit the floor! Nobody thought that green car with a 1/4 panel replaced would sell for that much.......oh, the good old days!

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

The Adcock brothers of Indiana did have quite a few cars, the silver Z28 was Al Maynards JL8 RS car, LA built, many options, 138k miles, '73 dated block. We found the build-sheet when it was at the detail shop locally. It later sold at Barrett as a numbers matching 38k mile car for $ 185k or so. There was a white Copo/red interior for sale in Ohio years ago, it had a sunroof, wonder if it was this queen city Copo?

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#109. This Yenko Camaro was sold new at Marshall Chevrolet in Reading PA. This one is N615454 and order NOR219759. It was advertised as having a replacement block, but the original transmission and rearend along with the original Bill of Sale. I believe this car was for sale on the Nickey website at one point as well.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#110. This is ZL-1 #55 and it was sold new at Whitt in Fayetteville AR. It is 1 of 2 RS ZL-1's and has less than 8K miles. It is unrestored and has both it's original block and it's warranty replacement block. It is also documented with it's original POP. This is the very first ZL-1 Camaro I ever saw when it was featured in the September 1982 issue of Super Chevy around the time they released the VIN list for the ZL-1 Camaro's. It was also featured in the March 1991 issue of Car Craft and the October 1991 issue of Musclecar Classics when it was owned by Otis Chandler. It was later sold as a part of Dave Christenholz's collection.

Really?? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] I need to check my notes, if it's the car I'm thinking it is - there is a much deeper story.....

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Marlin, care to elaborate? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

I found that car in Feb of 2001 in downtown Pittsburgh. Need to dig out my notes...

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

At one point in time I had pictures of the trim tag and some of the original paperwork for that car. I don't have my handwritten notes from when I saw the car since I have since added them to my spread sheet. I may have transposed or miss read a number at some point. I still have the auction add for this car and it was advertised as a Marshall sold car and there was a picture of the paperwork to back that up. It was also advertised as having a restamped block, but the original transmission and rearend. The picture is from Mecum Indy in 2008 and it was advertised as having an older restoration and having been freshened up by Camaro Specialties. Let me know what you find in your notes, or what you don't agree with. I am pretty sure that this car was later brokered by Nickey and there were a bunch of photos on their website of it. This is a 4 speed car and it had the dealer installed headers.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#112. This Yenko Chevelle was sold new by V.V. Cooke in Louisville KY. This is a 4 speed car with bucket seats and no console and is documented with an original build sheet. It was featured in the February 1993 issues of Popular Hot Rodding and Muscle Car Review when it was owned by Randy Miller. It was part of Dave Christenholz's collection and is now in the Brothers Collection.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Original paperwork would be interesting, as I have my doubts that Marshall actually sold the car - I know the inventory sheet says Marshall but I believe that car was sent back to Yenko and was sold into OH. It eventually came back to PA in '98 or '99 via a used car dealer (Rossi Motors?) - essentially as a pro street car that was tubbed, tied, and caged with a 468, a TH400, and a 9&quot; with 4.86's. Car had a Harwood carbon fiber hood, race buckets and was for sale. I passed but a machinist in NY went to Pittsburgh and bought it. He eventually decided it was not what he wanted and he sold it - reportedly to someone in Canada. I lost track of it and never realized that it had reemerged!

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Stefano had this car advertised in the for sale section of this site in July of 2008 and there he said it had a lot of original paperwork and was sold by Yenko. I don't know how to link that, but he only had pictures of the car and the engine compartment. There were a bunch of pictures on the old Nickey site but they are no longer there. I did find my notes from when it was on the Nickey site and I wrote down the trim tag information. What I have is NOR219759, 711 76 76, 03B X44. It also said the original owner was known and that Bob Harris at Camaro Specialties had the car at some point. I'm not sure if he restored it, or just freshened it up later.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#113. This Yenko Nova is W467756 and was sold new at Yenko. I believe this car was formerly owned by Randy Miller and Dan Cupido. There are photos of it in the February 1993 issues of Popular Hot Rodding and Muscle Car Review when Randy Miller owned it along with his Garnet Red Yenko Chevelle from above and Daytona Yellow Yenko Camaro. It was also featured in Bob McClurg's Yenko book when Dan Cupido owned it. Cliff Ernst used to have an identical car to this as well. I'm not sure if he still owns his or not.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Dan's Yenko Nova spent a fair amount of time in Western Maryland when new and then migrated to Eastern Maryland before coming back to PA before being discovered. It was great to see this car racing at one of the SCR's!

Yes, Cliff still has his FG Yenko Nova.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Dug up my notes on this '69 Yenko Nova. Car was 'found' in 1986 by a guy in St Paul, MN (not Vince E.), who tracked it down because he knew it was a Yenko. The car was in Beaverdale, PA at that time and was painted maroon,owner was Richard S (1981-1986 est) who bought it from his friend John M for $1,000. John M bought from ? for $100 somewhere around '75 est.

We estimate that the car had come into PA sometime between '74 and '75, but since the car was found we didn't really do a lot of digging with the PA DMV. The car appears to have spent its early life in MD, beginning in Cumberland, MD in '72 and then migrated all the way to eastern MD - Elkton in Cecil County to be exact - in '73 to a guy named Freddie (who might have been a car dealer), before it ended up in PA. Somewhere along the way I think it got an R title in MD (not in PA), but I can't find those notes.

PS: just found my additional notes, I hadn't filed them yet. Here's the general ownership history as I've researched:

5/27/70 - Charles K in Lavale, MD, could have been the orig owner, he financed $1,927.
8/12/71 - Walter H in Cumberland, MD, pays $2,250 but finances $3,119 (must have rolled in another loan).
8/04/72 - James S in Cumberland, MD, pays ?
11/26/73 - Freddie F in Elkton, MD, pays $1,200
4/01/74 - title is reassigned by Freddie, typically only done by dealers. This is also the same date that Freddie files a formal 'Request to Waive Inspection Prior to Re-Building a Motor Vehicle'. So, one could speculate that Freddie is a used car dealer who bought a wreck, theft or flood vehicle from western MD and rebuilt it for resale at his place in eastern MD. Car then goes to PA.
10/17/75 - John M in PA
1981 - 1986 Richard S in Beaverdale, PA
1986 - went to MN, and eventually to Mike Miller in NC then to Danny in Canada.

#114. This Yenko Deuce was sold new at Dale Chevrolet in Waukesha WI. This is a numbers matching and documented 4 speed car. It was featured in Muscle Car Review when Steve Sandlin owned it alongside Joe Barr's matching Yenko Deuce. There are also photos of both of these cars in Bob McClurg's Yenko book.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

This latest green Deuce is pretty much like the one Mark McDonald owned in Rantoul, Il. Never could find out what happened to that Deuce. TAZ

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

We nicknamed The Sandlin Green Deuce the 'Moses Deuce' since it was an original owner car when he bought it and that was the original owners name. What a great car to find&quot;
