Default Re: 69 Yenko w/ automatic trans?

Thanks for all of the replies guys. What is the best source of reference for Yenko cars?
I grew up about 25 miles from Cannonsburg, in Belle Vernon Pa. In the fall of 1979, I remember a guy selling an Orange Yenko Camaro with a big automatic shifter in it. I was managing a tire and custom wheel store. He left it in the lot for a few weeks to advertise it, so I got to look at it quite a bit.
There was more than one discussion over the fact that they offered automatic sYc Camaros. The guy who had it was from Monesson Pa. and he was asking $3,000. We all thought he was asking way too much. A few months after that, I bought a 1970 Nova SS, all original from the original owner for $300! Minor rust and 90,000 miles, it ran great for a few years. Muscle cars could be bought pretty cheap back then.
