Default Re: Need information & Picture: '69 Yenko Camaro

This 1969 Daytona Yellow Yenko was restored for Cliff Ernst by me, back in 1990. The inspiration to add some super stock features came about a few years later, prior to the first Supercar Reunion, that, Tom Clary organized. I was Cliff's restorer for a few years and a huge fan of these cars. Cliff and Bill Porterfield considered doing some match racing, prior to this car's receiving the Super Stock add-ons. In 1990 the car was restored, with this intention, and a warmed over 427 was assembled. Bill took the number 1 ZL-1 a little further, performance-wise, than anticipated, and match racing was deemed unrealistic. I suggested adding some eye appeal to Cliff's collection, somewhat paying tribute to Ed Hedrick's Daytona Yellow Super Stocker. Cliff did participate in some musclcar drags in the late 1980's with a Hugger Orange 1969 Yenko Camaro.
