Whereabouts of a 69 Yenko?

Looking for info on a 1969 Yenko Camaro, Daytona Yellow, that was for sale back in 1982 in the western suburbs of Chicago. It had an Illinois plate reading "YENKO 4".

If anyone has any knowledge of this car, please post! Thanks!

MikeNoun,
My Douglass Yenko 1969 Camaro was for sale in Chicago's South Western Suburbs circa the early 1980s (Spring Grove).
It is Daytona Yellow and had Yenko Stripes and Badges at that time. Since Yenko/COPO info. was not readily available then, many believed it to be a PA Yenko.
The plate registrations which I have only go back to 1984. The plate you mention was not registered to this car at that time. I have no plate registrations prior to 1984.

I just sent a few e-mails to people that have asked about this Yenko.

The car was in the Westmont/Clarendon Hills area from what I recall. We're just trying to determine where it went to, or if anyone recalls the "Yenko 4" Illinois plate.
