December '04 Feature Car

[camarojoe]

This was one of my favorite "new cars" at SCR7...Until then I had never seen a rally green 68 Yenko Camaro, aside from some original photos I have that were taken in Canonsburg in 68. Did you happen to get a chance to see them? I was curious if it could possibly be the same car. If i get some time tonite i will try to post a couple here. Rally green is definitely a cool color...Does anyone know how many Yenkos were done in this color in 1968?

Can't go wrong with rally green. Excellent car Mike!

OK, here's the car i was referencing in my earlier post. These are Yenko promo/demo shots taken in 1968. Until I saw sixtiesmuscle's car at SCR7, I had never seen or heard of another rally green 68 sYc besides the one in these photos... could it be the same car? Sorry for the sub-par quality, I don't have a scanner and these are digital pics of original pics. Compare these with the current pics of the car...

rear shot...note the lack of license plate.

Thanks to all for the generous comments, and, for any corrections on info I have received. The class winner stickers in the windows are still there, and, are from Minnesota Dragway. I really didn't know where the track pictures were taken, so, thanks Rick.

I saw this car for sale years ago at the Auto Palace in Pittsburgh. It was at that time the British green. I would say it looks cool either way....BKH

nice car and pictures
In Joe's original pictures it looks like the SS gas cap is painted over black to hide the SS?
then the front shot it has the SS emblem on grill?
This seems odd because other original pictures of 68s didn't have SS emblems.
