Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly
--------While what you say is notable, it appears that this cars history is almost written in stone. Its much more likely under the circumstances, being unrestored and pretty much un-cared for all these years, that the car just went thru early ownership trauma as probably 98% of all these old cars did back in the day. They were used hard and put away wet for the most part and often early owners made changes that they wanted to make because they wanted to, not because a group of knowledgeable people were lurking around telling them what was right or wrong!
--------Accidents happened all the time back then with that kind of horsepower on tap and the very best body shop in the area wasnt always available to bring the car back to absolutely new condition. Often the owners didnt care quite as much as we now know they should have about the "aesthetics". It was more important to get the car operational again, quickly. Friday nights came around fast back then and a guy had to have his ride ready for battle!!!
--------Oh, and the Yenkos rear emblems are all like that on 1969 Camaros as far as I know...........Bill S
