Re: 67 Yenko at Carlisle
Very nice car but I am not unbiased on this one. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Same color as mine so I have some research info on it. The color is Deepwater blue which was one of Don's advertised colors of choice for the 67 Yenko Camaros. It was not ordered in large amounts by general public. On the CRG color percentage estimation chart it comes in at 2.6 % of total production which is second lowest %. (The lowest is Sierra Fawn at 2.2 %.) My notes show 9 documented 1967 Yenko Camaros found so far. 1 white, 1 black, 1 yellow, 1 red, 3 Deepwater blue. Anyone know the colors of the two I am missing? May be two red ones but not sure. Ken, Did Dave L. work on the 67 Yenko Camaros at the Harrel shops or did he begin working there in 68?

Re: 67 Yenko at Carlisle
Like JoeC, I'm partial to Deepwater Blue myself. Looks real nice with the rally stripes [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: 67 Yenko at Carlisle
Mark: It's coming together nicely but I still have 3 pages of "stuff to do" before declaring success. I plan to have her ready for the local All-Chevy show in mid-August.
Frank: Yep, that's where I've been hiding out for the last couple of years. Car didn't always look like that:

Re: 67 Yenko at Carlisle
JoeC,
I am pretty sure Dave started with Dick in 1968, will confirm next time I talk with him. That article posted earlier about Dick's St. Louis shop shows Jim Gunthrie as Dick's mechanic. Also says Dick opened first shop in NM in 1965, went to Nickey in 1966. Maurice, I'm all for the burnouts. BTW, I have shots of the '69 funny with black headers and also later chrome headers. Which do you have? Are you going to install a pair of those little water spigots to drain the block? They attach to the headers.

Re: 67 Yenko at Carlisle
Denis, It's been a long time coming but it certainly looks like it was worth the wait. Let me know if you ever bring it to a show out this way. I'd love to see it. So, what's next? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
