Here's the Yenko Turbo Z link:

I believe that 81 Yenko Turbo Z is the one a lady in my old car club (Connecticut Cruisers) bought new back in Connecticut in 1981.

Anyone know the original owner's name? I think the husband's name was Lloyd Topping and the wife was Lisa??? The husband had the blown, red 69 Camaro on the right, at the time. He later painted it yellow, tubbed and prostreeted it. They divorced in the mid-eighties and I think both cars sold in the settlement.

In this photo it's the black car between the green Anglia and the red 67 GTX ragtop. My memory is getting fuzzy after 25 years but I think the white object in the grill was a hand-written sign on a piece of cardboard that someone stuck there as a joke just before the photo was taken.

Gotta be the same car since there couldn't have been too many black on black Yenko Turbo Z's produced and bought by "ladies back in the eighties."

(My car was the yellow 71 Cuda 383 ragtop on the left - I got it for free out of a junkyard when I lived in Colorado)
