Default Re: Hugger Orange Yenko Camaro proto at SEMA

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: volspeed1970</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Hmmmmm, is right. The car is definitely not what the owner or restorer wanted it to be. I spoke to some friends awhile back about this car and it definitely was a Z-28 originally, and there is not any documentation to prove it was sold by Yenko. The only Yenko item with the car is an original emblem that was on the tailpanel.

That is the story relayed to me....the owner and restorer say the paperwork was &quot;lost&quot; or &quot;stolen&quot; during the auction of the owners estate. Said that there was supposed to be a picture album and two more Yenko emblems. Not buying this story. Too many people know this car that was owned by a Nashville dragstip owner/operator. My friends were told by people in the know on this car that the paperwork will turn up sometime soon.

I was also told that there are pictures of this car before its restoration that prove it was a Z28, but nothing to prove it was a Yenko converted car, or even a car sold by Yenko. An NICB report needs to be run on it to see if it was delivered to Yenko. Then that might add some value to it.

Wow..after re-reading the other thread, plus what has been posted here, I would love to hear Mr. Barber's (CARS,Inc) explantion now.
