What was the milage? do you remember. Also was there any motor in the car at all. My friends car out of WV had the blue tarp option and a mismatched engine. Milage was a very low 9000 and change.

I think I know where the motor is from that car. John Hawthorne who works or regulary visits Oak Hill Automotive (old salvage yard) has a '67 Camaro with a 427 who has said for years the motor was from a Yenko Camaro that he had bought from a guy back in mid '70's. Oak Hills is on the western side of Bellaire, back in a "holler". I've talked with other people who have backed up John's claim. # is 740-676-2667. Bellair has many other jewels. "69 Copo Camaro, original owner, yellow, bought at Huebner Chevrolet in Carrolton, Ohio. Wife drove car to school teaching job in early to mid '70's. 1975 lic plates-shows the last time the car was driven. Dave |

Dave,
The Yenko from Bellaire is in the Chicago area and being restored. A friend of mine bought it Jan. of last year. the engine in the car had the wrong block but many of the internals and heads appeared to be original. We would certainly like to see the original engine back with the car. We would also like to learn more about the history of this car. It appears to be one of the earliest '69 Yenkos built.The car also didn't have the dealer installed SW tach. E-mail me with any info you may have. Thank you. Mark |

The Indiana car is a different Yenko Camaro. The Yenko from Bellaire years ago was at this year's Mecum Indy, the "first" Yenko Camaro built.
