Wherabouts/story of 80's built Yenko Pro Streeter?

[tom406]

I've been impressed by the sheer number of cars the guys on this board keep track of. I remember reading a Car Craft back in the mid to late 80's which had a small blurb on a car at one of the meets of that era. It was a '69 Camaro, fully tubbed and Pro Streeted, in full Yenko trim. The caption stated the car was REAL. The owner's justification was that he bought it from a divorcing couple and had to totally redo it anyway (seems the wife was going to get the car so the hubby beat it to a pulp with a crowbar or something). Anybody know this car, if the story's legit, and where it might be today?

Tom I remember that car and article and I always wondered if it was a legit Yenko. I believe it was a Daytona Yellow car and the stripes that he put back on it did not say Yenko/SC on the quarters. However, for some reason I thought that car was originally an old drag car that he decided to keep that way. Somewhere around here is that article and I will look to see who the owner was if I can find it..........RatPack............

In the process of tracking the 26 Camaros originally sold in WI I contacted all the owners I could locate. One of the cars had the Pro Street look, 454/tunnel ram, 9" rear, painted some other color. I recall it showed eveidence of a hard hit on the RH side. Thought it was originally Rallye green.
This was around 1983 or so.

Sound familiar?

Rumor mill says that one such Yenko (ex- drag car converted to street use ) is located somewhere in the Chicago Suburbs and it may be comming up for sale.
