Where is 69 Yenko Camaro 124379N663539

[GM_427_Racer]

Just a couple more.

Since I am sure you all are wondering, why I am racing the 70 instead of the 69, the answer is simple. In order to finish paying for my daughter's college education, the 69 Yenko re-creation had to be sold, so without much hesitation, I sold the 69 in the fall of 2014. By that time, I had accumulated about 90% of the legal engine parts, so the whole package is now in Oklahoma. I keep in touch with the buyer and his family and I am assured that it will see the track next year. Should be fun to watch, not as much as driving it, but fun none the less. I did get to make a couple shake down runs with the car with the bracket engine and it was everything that I expected.

----Geez,,,You are an artist, and you also know how to pick good people. Mike Pustelny is well known around this area and really knows his stuff. Way back he did some necessary work on Red Alert. Everything was done beautifully and on time as well as under the quote. Id use him again in a heartbeat......Bill S

Thanks Bill,

I really enjoy building race cars. I try to hide things as much as I can, whether it be wiring or brake lines, or whatever.

I have known Mike Pustelny for over 30 years, back when he raced the 70 Mustang, (SS/J I think), and he is still the same guy today. The blue Camaro was a work of art that he performed. The right side seat came out with two dzus fasteners, the shifter came out with 1 quick release pin, and the transmission tunnel came out with a couple of dzus fasteners also, which made the transmission very accessible. He also wanted to make the instrument panel come out with a couple of dzus fasteners, but I told him that I don't plan on running a manual transmission, so really did not need that option. He hand made the steering column, but looking at it, it looks like the stock piece. The underneath of the car was awesome also, it had a 4 link rear suspension, Ford 9 inch rear that he custom made and the car was all chromoly round tubing. He had tons of hours in it and like you said he was very reasonable. He told me, he would never do another Camaro like that one. He is a definitely a class act and for those people that don't know, he was the real God Father of the new COPO Camaros, Mustang Cobra Jets, and the Dodge Drag Pacs, he built all of those prototypes for the big 3.

Thanks for the compliments.

Beautiful replica!

Stunning car! I have a question about the 2 red handles attached to your PPP shifter, I assume one is for your chute, how about the other?

Where did you purchase the handles from?

Thank you.
