Default Sighting

I was crossing Alligator alley (I-75) last Friday heading to Miami from the West coast of FL. The state police had the road blocked off, someone was shootnig a movie. I looked up and saw a LaMans Blue, Black Stripe 1969 Yenko Camaro. It was in the movie shoot! Is this a real Yenko car or a clone? Who owns this car? I have a real one and was wondering if anyone else had one in FL.

Yesterday in Boston I saw a billboard advertisement for a show and a blue 69 windshield was behind the person.. Maybe they are filming the show near you. Didn't catch the name but it looked cheesy like the WB or UPN..maybe a fast & furious rip off show...

I bet it's that "Fastlane" show that is on Fox now. They have been using a 69 Rally Green Yenko (clone) lately. Maybe they painted it blue.

It was filming for "The Fast & the Furious 2" estimated June 2003 release
In the film the actors play old friends who use their street-racing skills to go undercover and bust a Miami drug kingpin. Looks like a Yenko clone with black grill and funny looking stripes

JoeC you get a trophy! How did you get the pictures? That looks like what I saw, but it was only for a nano second while driving. I whished I had the opportunity to turn around and see the car longer. I have only lived in FL a since March,02 and am curious how many Yenko's (besids my car) are down here. Thanks for your imput.

I just did a search and found a bunch of links on the new movie. They are using a lot of different cars. Mostly ricers.
