1967 Fred Gibb sold, Dick Harrell Built Yenko

[Stefano]

Both of these Yenko Harrell Gibb Camaros are incredible Super Cars.

Folklore had it that Fred Gibb did indeed sell 1967 Yenkos, but no one was able to confirm or at least publicly come out and prove that it was indeed the case until just a few years ago.

The fact that both of these cars exist / survived is amazing.

Years ago I had asked the Gibb ladies if they knew this to be fact and they were not able to confirm. I even asked them to see if any of the VINs in the 1967 ledger or police book matched the VINs on the known list of Yenko Camaros and I was told that there was no match.

Fast forward to Giordano's Pizza in St Charles, with Kim Howie and a few other sYc members and Kim tells me that the Gibb Harrell Yenkos which I had been sniffing around about did exist and that he knows the VIN numbers.

He tells me that they are indeed listed in the Gibb ledgers. I call B.S. as I was told there were no matches? Howie, says that we needed to look in the right place and that since the Camaros were sold in 1968, that they were listed in the 1968 Ledger not the '67.

The first car surfaced on Craigs list and I got a call from Chad the guy who found it, telling me that he thought he found a special car which might be a "NicKey" Camaro.

It was the Wednesday or Thursday before MCACN and I told him that at the asking price or less, I didn't see a big downside, even if it was just a Black/Red L78 Camaro and told him to call me back the week after the show............

I must say that once the Gibb ladies knew the cars in question that they did remember both of the original owners of the cars as well as that they did sit side by side on the Gibb Chevrolet showroom floor.
