New Yenko Camaro drag car photos
 
Gere Gemler was kind enough to send me two pictures of his 69 automatic Yenko he bought new to race. Its the Yellow Yenko. The other is a picture from PID {Pittsburgh International Dragway}. It is the Gold Demo car. It still has the Atlas magas and WTGT on the front...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Did he paint in the lettering in the stripes? And oddly, it says "C/SA" on the windshield & "B/SA"...11.69 dial ain't too shabby, though! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

And look at the old Chrondek...5 ambers vs. the later 3 ambers...must be eeeeearly '70s????

Anyone take note that the genny Atlas wheels are far from the light silver most people make them...BKH

Really neat pictures. It's interesting that the Yenko/SC stripe lettering has disappeared from the yellow car.

The pic of the gold car is killer too... I don't think they could have stuffed a bigger tire in that wheel well if they tried! Are those Keystone stickers in the side glass?

Re: New Yenko Camaro drag car photos
 
In fact they did stuff a larger tire under that car, sort of. At one point it had a dana under it with the rear wheelwells cut out. Not under the stock location, but a bigger tire it had...BKH

Joe, What did you edit in my post? It's the same as I originally posted.

**** Was actually just a mistake, I hit the edit button instead of the reply button by mistake....Totally my bad.

...just don't let it happen again. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif -JB

Jere Gemler is nearing completion of a restoration of the Daytona Yellow sYc Camaro in the drag photos. He is the original owner, all paperwork, picked up by him at Yenko, never wrecked, never rusted, raced it at the NHRA Nationals/Indy in 1970-1971. Does it get any better than that ?
