Whereabouts of a 69 Yenko?

MikeNoun,
My Douglass Yenko 1969 Camaro was for sale in Chicago's South Western Suburbs circa the early 1980s (Spring Grove).
It is Daytona Yellow and had Yenko Stripes and Badges at that time. Since Yenko/COPO info. was not readily available then, many believed it to be a PA Yenko.
The plate registrations which I have only go back to 1984. The plate you mention was not registered to this car at that time. I have no plate registrations prior to 1984.

I just sent a few e-mails to people that have asked about this Yenko.

The car was in the Westmont/Clarendon Hills area from what I recall. We're just trying to determine where it went to, or if anyone recalls the "Yenko 4" Illinois plate.

MikeNoun,
Did you keep any trim tag or vin number info. on this Yenko?

Mike,
I did speak to a Neighbor/Friend and fellow Super Car enthusiast regarding your question.

He does remember a Daytona Yellow Yenko for sale in Lisle, IL (????).

BTW,his Hugger Orange Yenko's plates read: 427 HP ,at that time.

At the present time, that license plate is no longer on file with Il. SOS. I worked in, and drove the streets of Lisle for over 18 years and never saw a Yenko Camaro, not to say one wasn't in someone's garage. I did know Mike N's brother Dean, though.

Just to elaborate, I never doubted the authenticity of this Yenko, we just wondered what happened to it. It was a VERY nice car. In retrospect, I believe the guy was a little defensive because he really didn't want to sell the car at that time. This was 1981/1982, and we discussed the possibility of these cars skyrocketing in value someday.

I do not recall a Yenko in Lisle, Illinois.

The people around this area probably remember the Yenko Deuce parked behind a repair shop in Westmont on Ogden Ave. as well.
