Thanks Mark for starting this thread...I've enjoyed reading all of the stories.
In 1998 a friend that I worked with told me about a guy that ran an auto garage in a little town outside of Auburn, NY. The guy had at least two 69Z's, one orange, one black, two '69 pace cars, one with a 396 and two 65 or 66 Shelby mustangs. The guy had owned the cars for years and most sat outside or in barns. I drove by his service center several times but never got up the nerve to ask about the cars. Fast forward to 2002, my good friend calls to say that George is cleaning house and is selling his cars. I was there the very next day but all were gone....all he had left was a 72 buick skylark.
Interestingly enough, the guy at one time also owned an Orange Yenko Deuce that was sold from Bresee. That car is part of a nice collection in PA.
I'm still kicking myself in the a$$.
