Yes, you did stick me with the bill. Thanks : )

This car has an interesting history. The car and Howie go back to May of 1968. I don't think too many people even knew it was a Yenko back then. The big deal was that it was a Dick Harrell prepped 427 Camaro. The general buying public did not know or necessarily understand the Yenko/Harrell relationship.

The car has only had three owners up to the point where we acquired the car.

"Sparky" Kemp (Larion John Kemp) Original owner. 1968-1978.

The Camaro went out West / Arizona early in it's life and the second owner purchased it in 1978 and did not have it for very long.

Interesting that "Sparky" ran it through an Auction, prior to selling it and listed the Camaro as a Dick Harrell prepped 427 L88.

The story as told by several who were there, including the original owner of the Black Gibb/Harrell/Yenko, that this Red one had a Stinger Hood as well as a dual quad set up on it, when it was on Gibb's showroom Floor.

Did Warren have the conversion paperwork on the red Camaro?
