Default Re: 69 Yenko w/ automatic trans?

That time frame would sound right. I think I ran him sometime in August. I know he was an "unhappy camper" after he spent all that money and could not win the race! In 1968 I almost had the chance to run a 68 Yenko Camaro. It was owned at the time by a fellow named Joe Weis from New Castle. He came to Aliquippa hunting for me but at the time I had the rearend out of the car. I did not even know what a Yenko Camaro was, I noticed the funny hood and it sounded real healthy! I know one thing, I would have had my hands full with that car! Everything that Joe owned was fast! I seen him run at New Castle many times and never seen him lose a race! Years later that car was purchased by Chuck Huber and fully restored. It was a red car with black vinyl roof. He received "The muscle car of the year award" in 1992. That was the nicest 1968 Yenko I have ever seen! I think it resides in Cliff Ernst's collection now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
