1 Attachment(s)
Sold new at Craig's Chevrolet in Oklahoma City , Oklahoma. Pretty loaded up car that needs to be restored, but great find! Warren D. had the Yenko paperwork.... Interesting the invoice provides no detail, but the invoice price reflects a well optioned car.

It's listed in our inventory https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=125829

Where is it now.
 
Amazing find!! The information and photos shared on FB was great. It was immediately up for sale. Did anyone here buy it? Sounds like it needs a total restoration but will be cool looking Yenko when completed.
Cheers,
Marty

here is a interior photo of YS-748 from Jerry's FB page and a photo of another 67 Yenko that is restored with the SW Tach in the location seen on many 67 Yenkos. The YS-748 photo looks to have something under the ign key

Great find. Restoration should be straight forward. They're still out there.

Looks like 15x6 C2 crows on the front. I'm not sure when the 15x7s came out, but they were designed for the 67-68 camaros to clear the front discs.

A '67 in butternut is just sooooooo clean!

Is there any pictures of the Trim Tag. I was curious if the dash mark is after the 4K.

backup light switch?

JoeC 06-28-2024 04:42 PM

YS-748 has hood pins which was part of the Yenko AHRA drag racing package that many of the 1967 Yenko 427 Super Camaros had

Badged as a Z/28...how fitting. Aren't ALL first gen Camaro's Z/28's :rolleyes2:
I don't know how to find this on FB, anyone have a link ?
Anything left of the original drivetrain ?

Maybe make an appearance at MCACN this year ?

Pro Stock John 06-28-2024 05:41 PM

The PJ coded rear axle (373 posi) is the only orig drivetrain component.

Pro Stock John 06-28-2024 07:50 PM

Exciting news, I hope more of the back story is shared over time.

1967 Craig's Chevrolet dealer ad

Lynn 06-29-2024 01:08 PM

Dealership is less than a mile from my office.

Craig was one of the Ayers brothers I believe. IIRC (BIG IF) this went from Craig's Chevrolet to Craig Ayers Chevrolet, then briefly Ayers Ford Chevrolet. Not selling Ferds though; guy with last name of Ford bought in with Craig. I remember the radio commercial: "My name is Ford, but I want to sell you a Chevrolet".

Hoping I got those facts correct. I hate all the misinformation on the net.

Is the 11/67 Ad above the subject car w/ 327 mistakenly noted instead of 427 also 11/68 Yenko Stinger Ad possibly the same car after being traded back in to Craig Chevrolet?:hmmm:
Here’s one more 07/68 Ad below that may be it before being traded back to Craig Chevy plus two faint hope later possibles also lastly, a couple cool Yenko Racing articles that popped up while combing the old Oklahoma Newspapers.
I have more old Oklahoma Hi-Performance also RT Ayers Ads saved but don’t want to further sidetrack this Yenko car thread, anyone please speak up if a better place for them to land or I'll post them over in the Old Newspaper Ads thread.
:beers:

I live in Edmond, OK and had purchased a 1969 HP SS Camaro 396/375 from Craig's Chevrolet. The salesman's name was Bob Ford and he was into HP Chevrolets. Bob Ford later owned the dealership and it became Bob Ford Chevrolet (remember Ford selling a Chevrolet). In about 1975? Bob Ford owned a small Chevrolet dealership in Crescent OK. I purchased a 1978 Blazer from Bob Ford in Crescent.



Both dealerships are long gone. The Edmond location is now a U-Haul store and shop but most of the original building is still in use by U-Haul.

The 15X6 wheels were probably DF wheels used on 67 & 68 Z/28's which had front disc brakes. The 67 Corvette "C2" 15X6 DC wheels had a different offset than the Camaro DF 15X6 wheel.
Agree on color but I'm partial to Butternut Yellow LOL. Great Find.....

JoeC 07-03-2024 09:24 PM

some Yenko paper work shows G70x15 tires and Rally wheels on some 67 Yenko Camaros
I think those were an SS Impala tire option
