Default Was red a Yenko color for the 69 Camaros?

I was in Lancaster on Saturday and driving through town, we say a red Yenko Camaro sitting in the showroom of a classic car dealer. We didn't catch the name of the dealership, but a lot of us saw it as we went by. I don't recall seeing any red Yenkos in the magazines though.

Red was not one of the six colors available on the '69 Yenko Camaros. I believe we know about the car you saw, it was reportedly purchased this past March in Florida at an auction. It is supposed to be a real car, but painted incorrectly. What was the name of the classic car dealer??

I couldn't see the name of the dealership as we went by, I was driving. We had a caravan of 4th generation Camaros and Firebirds going to a picnic. One guy has a 2001 that was opened up to a 427 LS1 and runs some other mods. He runs 9.5's in the quarter, but the car isn't sorted out yet.

I know that there are a few classic car lots out there, was it one of the ones on Route 30? This car was supposedly in Reading, PA and we were waiting to see it pop up at a show or dealer. Not surprised that is showed up in Lancaster, PA.

Tom,
Is this the same car that was inside at the Camaro Nationals in Pigeon Forge, in 97?
