Don't get too envious. The article actually states that they are owned by two different individuals. See p. 39...

But it sure would be awesome to own them both https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Read down another line says Bob owned both and sold the 4 speed car to Keith

If I had those two cars and was going to sell one, it sure would not be the 4 speed car!!

I actually grew up very nearby where these 2 cars "grew up"...although I'm a bit young to have been there, but I have friends that were there...If anyone else knows better, correct me if i am wrong about the details....These 2 guys had a speed shop for years in Bristol, pa...right on route 413....named Dunn and Grasso...bought parts there many times...(its an adult book store now)I believe there were 2 Graso brothers...i believe the one lost his leg in a blown clutch accident as I was at a local swap meet and a friend pointed him out as one of the 'grassos'...i had never personally known these fellows, but had the oportunity to buy the one car a few times...way back when i heard it was available from Graso himself...the price was make offer.. (probably could of had it for 30k)and then I got a phone call in the late 90's sometime I believe..from the then current owner in Florida who explained which car it was and offered the car to me at 95k...one of them shouda'-- couldas'....reality was I didn't have that kind of money anyway...hehehe....

But there was definitely the 2 cars both purchased by the same owner back in 1969...how cool would that have been!!!

Is that true that automatics had hydraulic lifters, and were rated at 410hp by Chevrolet?

camarojoe 12-05-2007 06:58 PM

Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
 
No. An L72 was an L72, regardless of what trans was behind it, solids and 425 hp. I think that story got started because of an ad Yenko ran in 67 when they were still doing transplants, listing the auto at 410 hp with hydraulics.

That's what I thought, but didn't know the origin of the urban myth. Surprised that the owner of the TH400 Yenko allowed that mis-information to slip through.

Joe,I have been a witness to Robs driving.Sometimes bad fast,sometimes needs an alarm clock on the tree https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif.Sorry Rob you know what I'm talking about.Enough of the trash talk lets get some races matched up right now.If I still have our car at SCR11 I'm in for a race.Don't beat me up to bad as it's only a 396 4-spd Nova.I wanted to bring it last year but didn't want to make a fool of myself.This next year already have plans to go to US-131 Motorsports Park for a little test-and-tune. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
 

Still own it. I purchased the 4 speed about 25 years ago from my wife's uncle (by marriage at that time).

As for SCR XI, I would love to take it. I just have no way of getting the car there. When I left NJ for sunny FL I sold my trailer.

Back to work now..
