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 |
Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
Read down another line says Bob owned both and sold the 4 speed car to Keith

Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
If I had those two cars and was going to sell one, it sure would not be the 4 speed car!!

Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
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!!! |

Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
Is that true that automatics had hydraulic lifters, and were rated at 410hp by Chevrolet?
|
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.

Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
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.

Re: Talking GreenYenko Camaros how bout a pair
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.. |
