Default Re: 68 yenko

as far as the photo of the 69 camaro with the "500th Unit Built" sign on it, don't be fooled into thinking that only meant camaros... I have another pic taken the same day, in the same Colonial Chevrolet showroom, with the same sign on top of a Yenko Chevelle. Personally I don't know if the sign meant ANYTHING, and may have just been some Don Yenko marketing BS to impress the media and the big shots at Colonial on that particular day, or it COULD have been reference to ALL 69 syc cars sold, or maybe even all cars sold by Yenko in general for 69 ( including pickups, station wagons etc) ... Who knows... I just know yenko wasn't above "padding" actual numbers or fudging the truth to make himself and his business seem even bigger than it was. - jb
