Default Re: Yenko Camaro drag car

The ten gold cars are in the same group as the first ten yellow cars. O1B. All early VIN's, all X66 cars with the possible exception of one yellow car being an X11. The gold demo car was bought new by Ron Welsh in Pittsburgh and he raced it at PID hard in the 70,s. Car had a DANA 60, opened up rear wheel wells and a number of engine combos over the years. That is the way Cliff Ernst bought the car. He told me that when he took the car out for a drive the salesman told him that he had a wife and kids at home and not to do anything funny.
Also the stripes on the race car with the demo car are different in contour as the later Vitar ad. As race cars go they change their look often. Notice the Stahl decal is not in the later shot. It is interesting to note that the cross muffler is still in the original location in both rear shots of the car. A NHRA rule of the day I beleive...BKH
