Re: 1969 Yenko Camaro at Leake/Kruse Auction in Dallas
True story,First owner pulled of the stripes because he was upset with Don Yenko because he kept dumping the transmission.Raced it and then parked it. Dan told me he first noticed the 140 speedo and then ask more about the motor, Mr. Mandela then showed Dan a motor setting in the corner covered up.Dan was smart and new his stuff and bought the car and restored it and showed it in many shows and was in many magazines. When Dan sold the car it was for $125,000 to a gentleman I won't name but I have a list of all owners for the new buyer if sold. Dan has some video tapes of the car racing in Pennsylvania and I was visiting with him and he was going to make me copies of everything he had just before Christmas last year, when right after Christmas his son was killed in a auto accident. I visited with his wife and daughter and later Dan and put everything on hold. Dan lost a big part of his life that day.He is a great person and still wants to keep up with the whereabouts of the car.Brian Henderson knows Dan very well and they both speak very highly of each other.I am sure Brian would share his knowledge with anyone, since he is a true Supercar enthusiast.
