Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

As some of you may know, I was at the Goodguys show in DesMoines this weekend showing LV Camaro's cars, and I happened upon a very neat car... Its a totally unrestored, original paint Lemans Blue X44 Yenko Camaro... I took TONS of pics of it, and will post them for all those interested. I guess the car is pretty known, but I had never seen it. The owner is a very cool guy, and has owned it for over 20 years... his buddy bought it used with approx. 1500 miles on it in late 69. He was uncertain what dealership it was sold from, but says its been in Iowa all its life. Check it out! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

PS, i told him he needs to bring it to SCR7 this fall...

Years ago I had a friend in county DMV check for personalized plates with anything Yenko. This guy came up. I've never met him, but knew he was out there. Very cool car. Schonye

pic 7... not the original holes in the dash housing where the tach was originally installed... he said it was "flimsy" mounted there, and blocked the speedometer, so he strapped it to the column on the opposite side.

Great pictures Joe! Thanks. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

Note the trunk weatherstrip seam is not centered... never saw an unrestored car yet that was... go out in the garage and fix yours now. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Cool pics Joe. Thanks! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

how many of you used a tape measure to be sure your Posi warning decal was centered correctly? This assembly line worker didn't.

No displacement/horsepower stickers on the AC lid https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

Nope, you noticed that too... doesnt appear to have EVER been any either, no residue, no glue, etc... he says they were never there when he got it and assumed they were removed... i don't think it ever had any...

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

No decals on the Headrests... was it that way when it left Cannonsburg?

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

Joe,is that an original drivetrain car? And did you ask if the car could be bought! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

[/ QUOTE ]I tried to post a pic of my yenko chevelle but could not because the file was too big but it does not have any stickers on the lid and it is the original.

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

My Chevelle didn't come with stickers on the headrests as delivered to VV Cooke either...

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

I thought that some of the cars were stickerless on the Heeadrests but didn't have any idea how many.

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

Can you believe i never even NOTICED the missing headrest decals? I didn't even ask about those...dolp! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

The owner knows exactly what he has, and said that several noted folks have offered LOTS of money for it and he has repeatedly turned down the offer... which is very cool to me, because this guy a regular joe that just happened to be fortunate enough to hang onto a good car... he drove it to the show, and told me he enjoys driving it regularly on nice days. he said he has owned it for many many years and has no intentions of selling... He also told me how amazing it is that people now recognize the car as a Yenko, and all the attention his "little old Camaro" brings among cars that cost the owners 10 times as much money. As for the driveline, he said it has a CE block, but all components are orginal, including the 837 alternator, distributor, intake, carb, air cleaner, etc etc. The trans is the original M21 as is the 4:10 BE 12 bolt. Just in looking, side from a set of radials, an aftermarket stereo and speakers, a mixed bag of aftermarket gauges (which he said were in it when he got it but don't look original to me) and an aftermarket shift boot, a new voltage regulator and missing heater hoses due to a leaky core, the car seemed pretty much untouched. Another note, he said it has always had hood pins too. I know some of the network dealers such as Francis installed pins and locks to prevent vandalism and theft on the lot.

Joe,that is very cool. thanks for the pics and the story,chad

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

It looks like there was only one LB Yenko Camaro sold in Iowa in 69 from Friedley Olds, Cedar Fall Vin# 124379N614579, it was a 4-speed car as well. Did you get the Vin number Joe???? Mark

Re: Super cool unrestored Yenko Camaro
 

From what i can deduct, I believe the car was sold new at Broadway Chevrolet in Green Bay Wisconsin.
