It would be worth a try. Who knows what you might turn up, even though it would be a long shot. What is the story on #155017?..BKH

[Warren Malkin]

Hi BKH!
The only thing I can say about #155017, is it wouldn't be anything I would be proud to own.
Wouldn't it be great if Chevrolet came out with the info on the cars such as Pontiac does? Then again, the owners of cars that are not worthy wouldn't be to happy now would they! Warren

Warren,
I don't think I have met you yet but have heard things, all good. We have a mutual friend, The Mayor of Fishkill NY who talks highly of you. Thanks for the heads up about the COPO...BKH

Warren, here's what I can "sniff out" of the ads:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="">quote:</font><HR>AT RUDY'S
321 ALLEN ST. 739-7650
'67 Camaro Yenko (2) 427 4 spd. 3195<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Searching for this street address in all of MA gives the following:

Bailey Motors
321 Allen St
Springfield
MA, USA 01108-1902
Phone: (413) 7364506

Perhaps someone at Bailey Motors knows what happened to "Rudy's" records
and can find a VIN or owner details for the Yenko sold in Jun-Jul 1968.

Many extras. Cost new $5100. Must
sell $2950. Will consider trade. Call
543-2772<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Doing a reverse search on the phone number gives the following name and
address. Perhaps the guy never even changed phone numbers after all these years:

Shurtleff Robt
1964 Boston Rd
Wilbraham
MA, USA 01095-1055
Phone: (413) 5432772

Well now, who's going to be first to make the call? I just set the stage. I'll let you guys play it out!
Back around '81 a friend called me, and said a Yenko was for sale in Poughkeepsie NY. He gave me the guys phone number, I called, hopped on my motorcycle, and when I got there to my disappointment it was a '68 and not a '69. At the time I didn't know they had them in '68. It had the 140, big front sway bar, Yenko badge on the glove box door, and SYC plate near the courtesy light switch on the drivers side. No engine or transmission. $1200.00 could have bought it. I gave the phone number of the guy to the " Mayor of Fishkill NY" recently, but am not sure if it produced any leads.

[Mr Yenko]

FOUND this car. I will fill you in shortly.
"MAYOR of Fishkill"

Mayor of Fishkill. Have you found a new 68 Yenko?...BKH
