Re: Yenko Information
O.K. Guys, since I can't figure who I sent the PM to I'll try this again. This all comes from my memory so if I'm off please don't think I'm blowing smoke. As far as I know Karen Chev sold 3 69 Yenko Camaros. Olympic gold, sold to 1 or 2 guys from Allentown, Pa. Fathom green to a local (Easton, Pa.)speed shop owner. Rallye green, sold to a young man from Wilson Boro (Easton) Pa. nicknamed Spike. The gold one was destroyed at 'The Sticks' drag strip. The fathom green was a strip only car. The rallye green car was traded at Continental Motors Easton,Pa. where I worked, on a (Get ready for this one) new Lincoln Mercury Capri. My then fiancee, now ex-wife, and I bought the car on Feb 3rd 1972. I still have the receipts from the deposit and when we picked up the car Feb 10th. when I went in to pick the car up I was corraled in the sales managers office with the owner and sales mgr telling me how much I didn't want to buy that car. They had advertised the car and had 2 or 3 backup deposits on it. After way too much talking I reminded them that I had a signed buyers order and I was indeed taking the car. We lived exactly 2 blocks from the dealership and every morning (for the next 2 weeks anyway) I would walk past the car only to turn around and drive in the opposite direction 13 blocks to the circle in Easton and back up to work. Two weeks later I got fired from that job (I didn't care I had the car) they were really upset about selling me that car. Anyway we had the car a little over a year and bought a house so the car had to go.(Yes I knew it was going to be worth money someday) I sold it to Stout's Auto Sales Reading,Pa. I had no idea it was still around until yesterday. Keith e-mailed me pictures. You have no idea how big the smile on my face was when I saw those pictures. The car looks absolutely beautiful! Maybe some day I'll actually be able to see it again. I know exactly what I'll say. Hello old friend, the years have been very very kind.
