Stan,I also found the ads for Ed Stinn in a July 21 Plain Dealer & Cleveland Press(both for the Apollo moon walk) both advertising the new 427 cars.I also found a dealer badge from Prout,not the trout,but have been unsuccessful in getting it so far.It is located on a POS 73 Chevelle an the owner won't return my message,I even told him I would gladly pay for his troubles.

Copo69, I'll see if I can get a scan of the Ed Stinn sticker.It's a nice piece with Ed's head and a blue bow tie.Two years ago (?) the dealer closed for good and was later burned by vandels.A real good friend of mine was inside shortly after and searched the building for any remaining documents and memerobilia.He did find some info on 70's and 80's vech. but nothing exciting.As for Ed's gambling,he was known to lose the payroll a number of times according to severel of his employes.Talk about a positive work place on payday!!!!

Thanks for the Ed Stinn info... look forward to your scans.

Steve, I'm close to Charleston where Roger Dean was located. I remember lots of muscle Chevys at the time with Dean emblems. They sold 2 COPO Camaros that I know of. Both were silver, 4 speed cars and sold early. One went to Jim Minnick who was a former gas dragster national champ and had a large local speed shop. Car became a Pro Stocker but no one seems to know what happened to it. The other car was purchased and driven on the street. I started getting info on these cars and ran across it in early 1980 for sale. At the time knowledge of these cars was real fuzzy. I called lots of people but little knowledge was turned up. The guy wanted $3500. for the car but had it not turned out to be legit would have been an old Camaro worth less than half that amount. I went home to sleep on it and decided to take a chance. I called the guy to take the car and was informed he just sold it to an eighteen year old kid. The protecto plate was with the car and I had copied all the info and eventually ran down the original owner. It was legit. I tried to contact the buyer but he was now in the army and his dad told me he'd never sell that car. Only saw it one other time.... a couple of years later, met it blasting off from a stop light with smoke bellowing from the exhaust and kinda beat up. I guess it was just a hot rod to the kid. Thats my fishing story. There were several COPO Camaros in this area. I remeber a few years ago there were 5 here in a 25 mile radius. While that may not seem significant to some of you this is a sparsley populated area. One of them had a Olds motor in it hooked to the gooseneck radiator. Greg

Andrew- Jay Kline Chevrolet went out of business around 1985.The city bought the dealership for for cop car repairs.They sold Yenkos in 67 and 68.I owned a 68 from Kline.Yenko moved to Grossman chev on east lake street in for 69 and 70.Kline had a seperate performance car showfloor on west lake st.Those were the good ole days.

I think that is the Cortez Silver Yenko I owned back in the 80's. I was the second owner -- bought it at a Chev dealership in Green Bay used with low mileage. The car had some body damage and was then customized (I will say I did not have a clue what the car was worth at that time) with flared fenders and painted stripes. It had a BBC at that time. I sold the car to a Navy veteran by the name of Jim Sanders. He took the car to Coupesville, Wa (sp). I lost contact with him. Later I REC a call from a person who said he bought it and needed info on the car. I told him I would call him back -- but missplaced his phone number. Never heard from him again. If there are any questions on this car you can contact me a [email protected]. Craig Holly
