Yenko Information
I can provide some information on the 3 1969 Yenko Camaros sold at Karen Chevrolet Phillipsburg, N.J. (not Pa.) My then fiance now ex-wife and I actually bought one of these in 1972. No I still don't own it, but I still have the original unused spar tire and wheel.

Re: Yenko Information
Which car was it, Olympic Gold 4speed, Rallye Green 4speed, or the Fathom Green a/t? Two of the three are still around, the gold one is gone
 I understand Karen Chev got busted for mileage tampering?

Re: Yenko Information
Yes they did get busted for mileage tampering and lost their Chev Franchise. I'm not sure what your question is about which car. Do you know for sure the 2 green cars are still around?

Re: Yenko Information
I also heard they lost their franchise for the mileage tampering issue.
I was curious which car you owned out of the three cars Karen Chev. received - a rallye green 4sp, a fathom green a/t, or the olympic gold 4sp. They may have gotten more than those 3, but those are the only three I know about. The two green cars are still around. The rallye green car is owned by a family member of the original owner, and is now in FL. The fathom green car was eventually turned into a race car called 'THE LEAPIN LIZARD', and I believe is now sitting awaiting it's turn for restoration.

Re: Yenko Information
Sorry copo. Maybe I sent the PM to camarojoe. The drag strip is is in Wind Gap, Pa. about a mile off Rt. 33. It's official name is Mt. View Dragway. Vargo, in Perkasie doesn't exist anymore. Every summer (mid to late August) there is a reunion at the old drag strip called The Sticks Reunion. The strip is in relatively good shape since it hasn't been used as a drag strip in probably 25 years. The man in the gold Yenko Camaro was definitely NOT killed. I don't believe he was even hurt. If you saw how the strip is laid out it would be easy to see how you could destroy the car and not get hurt.
