More x66 motivation gold yenko pictures. The original owner Tricky Ricky Barratt (as he was called) removed all the Yenko badges, stripes etc immediately and installed SS emblems. Love to know how many people he fooled into thinking this was a SS396 car.

Matt you have done an unbelievable job in working with all of the previous owners in gaining as many as 75 original photos thank you for the documentation and helping explain this cars history from beginning until the present. Enthusiasm of each owner has really shown and even when I bought the car from Troy you could tell that he and his lovely wife were letting go of their youth but saw it as a new beginning for their treasured car. Troy, Max, Melvin and the Barrett’s are car generation families. Thank you. Doug

I have researched a lot of cars over the years and most of time the more you dig the more frustrated you get. You deal with lack of cooperation and interest by previous owners or former owners who are just pissed they don't have there car anymore and refuse to talk or just dead ends. With this car it hasn't been easy but has been very rewarding. I have talked to God only knows how many people In my search to get the information and photos that I have found over the last 9 months or so. I hope to find more information/photos before the cars restoration is completed. Needless to say when the car is completed it will have a hell of a story and a ton of documentation to go with a first class Arone's restoration.
