December '04 Feature Car

[Chevy454]

These just in from Mike...I'll let him fill ya in on the details...

These vintage pics that Rob posted are of a Corvette Bronze "demo" in Florida. The grill emblem is absent, the gas cap is blacked out, it has trim rings, but, it's hard to tell if the hood is opened up.

The car in the B&W photos looks like it has no front spoiler and the back spoiler looks like it is a aftermaket unit. It looks like the same type of spoiler that is on one of the restored red 68 Yenko Camaros.
There was at least one 68 ralley green COPO Camaro sold as 396 non converted car.

Mike, I have a set of promo photos of this bronze car as well. How do you know the pics were taken in Florida? I always figured they weren't taken in Canonsburg due to the palm trees seen in the background, but was no certain where the location actually was.

Joe, I'll have to recheck my source, but, the story was told with much certainty, and, it sure looks like it to me.

Jeff, based on the setup with the tunnel ram, etc., I'd have to guess high 10s/low 11s. Feel free to correct me with facts though.

Was the rear spoiler in the B&W pics the Yenko produced glass lid with integral spoiler? There were at least two '68's with this option, including the first '68 YS-8002 which was indeed Corvette Bronze, and a Demo car. Is it possible this Demo car did tour time in Florida, since it was Fred Eggers Demo car and based out of Atlanta.

Yes, it has the glass decklid with intergral spoiler, and yes, I'm also almost certain it is the car you speak of.

[bkhpah]

Yes thats the 002 car. It still has the spoilered deck lid and original hood. And it was the car Eggers used and was a southern demo car. Once finished, it was returned to Yenko. A local fellow bought the car and soon sold it to another local guy that has had the car ever since. We have just started the restoration of this car and it has many one of a kind items. It will be at SCR9 is my guess. It is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen with a ton of original pictures from Brandon to help with the resto...BKH

Man, how cool is that?
