My Dad's LS6 build sheet

[RAIIIT/A]

The car wasn't even a year old and already had the rear tires replaced (LOL)... The front tires still look almost new.

I really appreciate the help. I am going to continue working on finding Chuck McCormick and seeing where that trail leads me. The 3rd owner not only had the build sheet, but also has the protect-o-plate and all the original info from when the car was bought. heres a picture of the car in late 1970.

the next wave of Day 2 additions HAS to be the stainless steel mud flaps

My 70 Z28 had them on it when I bought it in 1977.

I remember them everywhere ... </div></div>


HA HA, you know I have probably looked at that photo a 1,000 times and never realized that those where on there.

Nice shot Russ. Good luck with your search. Your Dad already had beefier rear tires on it in this shot!

John owned a White Jack Dougalss COPO, with the Yenko stripes added (not by Yenko).

I don't believe that this is a true statement, John's car was a Real Yenko Camaro sold through Jack Douglas Chevrolet. Here is John's add when he put the car up for sale in the cars for sale section:


John's add

For sale is one of only two white 1969 Camaro’s to be sold as a Yenko. This Yenko has 39k original miles it still retains the original trans, rear end, sheet metal, and interior.
The engine is a correct matching number restoration engine but is not the original one to the car. The block was a correct 512 427 4 bolt block dated B19. The assy date is T0321MN 840 heads, 499 distributor, 837 alternator, 164 carb. Original 163 intake complete correct smog setup.

Was his car in the &quot;First batch&quot;?

I believe this explains it.....

.....The first batch of 69 Yenkos at Douglass came from Yenko Chevrolet. They had the bowties removed. The balance were Douglass ordered COPOs with Yenko graphics applied by Douglass. They broke the mold on the &quot;Yenko base car&quot; They ordered colors other than the 6 Yenko colors. They might have ordered other interiors than the 711 standard black. I was not aware that the JD cars had the bowtie.

....These cars that were ordered by Jack Douglas as COPO cars and had the stipes applied at Jack Douglas.... they never went thru the Yenko Dealership. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
