Still my favorite 69 Camaro picture of all time!

[Mr Yenko]

It has been mentioned that the 5th car in the row HUGGER ORANGE X11 car could possibly be my car.What type of percautions should I take if there is any RADIO ACTIVITY.Will I grow a third arm or something...LOL

[camarojoe]

I think its interesting to note that of all the cars that can be seen, (and that includes the other shots I have of this group of cars from different angles) i only see one endura bumper car. Are there any records as to how many car originally came with this option? Couldn't have been too many.

Also interesting to note, all of the cars in the pic seem to have their GM issued window stickers still intact. While taking into consideration that this was a fenced in holding lot where the general public was not supposed to be allowed, it still seems Don may have not been as protective as he could have been about letting his COPO connection out of the bag.

YOU MUST HAVE GROWN A THIRD ARM MAYOR IF YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THAT YENKO AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE!!! KP

I would say the endura D/Yellow was LV's old Yenko

found this in my notes from the last time this came up...

The Canonsburg site was operated as a radium extraction plant by Standard Chemical from 1911 to 1922. Later, Vitro Corporation of America acquired the property and processed ore to extract radium and uranium salts. From 1942 until 1957 Vitro was under contract to the federal government to recover uranium from ore and scrap. For the next nine years, the site
was used only for storage under an Atomic energy Commission contract. In 1967, the property was purchased by the Canon Development Company and was leased to tenant companies for light industrial use.

So anyone owning a copo that's had cancer has a shot at the govt...

The next time I'm down that way I'll check out the signs. When did they condemn those properties? Are there any reports of health problems in the area? I was good friends with Don's lead Corvette tech back then and he died of cancer a few years back. I doubt that had anything to do with it though...

Gary,
Take a ride down there and you'll see the whole area fenced off with radioactive signs all over - the industrial park made the stuff for the atomic bombs or something!
