Default Re: Lowest milage 69 Yenko Camaro?

For what its worth, the pics I have of Atlas wheels are dated March 69...these are the pics that were taken for use in the "Stinger Stuff" catalog, that was not actually published until about a year or more later. When was the SSI road test actually performed? The gold car had Atlas wheels on it for this test, and it was one of the first Yenko Camaros for 69. I think Yenko offered other wheels, in fact SOMEWHERE I'm almost positive I have something from later (1971 or so I'm thinking) that specifically lists
E-T wheels as available for Vega. I just don't think its likely that a Yenko was sold in 69 with a 5 spoke torq thrust style wheel that was not an Atlas... if someone wanted a different style, Cragar, etc. I could see it happening... but have never actually seen anything to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. I do know a very low percentage of the Camaros had anything besides the standard 15x7 rally wheel when they left Yenko.
