If I were the local law enforcement I would have been all over that stuff when it was first uncovered after all these years and I would be checking the vin #s on all the engines,trans etc. and check them against old vehicle theft records to see if anything raises a red flag. Yes,maybe some big blocks were replaced for small blocks during the gas crunch but what about all those complete small blocks with the exhaust manifolds still attached that are there and the trans. with the shifters still attached to them. Maybe the trailers were welded shut and he didn't talk to anyone about his stash for a reason.It looks more like remnants of a 60's-70's chop shop. But the cars seem to have been purchased legally.
Just a thought.

Hello all, I am a first time poster here and wanted to let you know that I got to meet Larry F. tonight (12/1/05), who is a very nice man by the way, and view his new collection. I took over 100 pics and wanted to share the Yenko pics with you guys. Larry did not have a problem with me doing this so I feel comfortable showing them off to you! I know I did not get some very important detail pics but it was cold and dark in that shed and I to be honest, I don't know what to look for! I tried my best. Note, the pics of the big block by itself is supposibly the original 427 out of this Yenko. I just wanted to share these with you guys and hope you get some use from them. Thanks! http://www.aasencamaros.com/Yenko.html

Cool - thanks for providing these pix. You never know, depending on what happens with the sale and who the car goes to, we may never have seen pix of the unrestored car.

Good Job especially on the firewall/cowl... the two holes to the right of the cowl tag are for a Stewart Warner Tach sending unit (if you didn't know)

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays ! Newbie on this board and just wanted to chime in my experience on this find.
When I spoke to Larry about two weeks ago I had made arrangements to fly to Green Bay from California.There was a link to this thread on Team Camaro where I am a member. When I checked this thread out I discovered that Larry was taking bids. My impression was that I could go there and make a firm deal to purchase, not just look and then have to bid . I cancelled my trip as I did not want to participate in that kind of deal.Larry was very nice on the phone. I spoke to him many times. He told me the two 57 Corvettes were not for sale as two of the family members of the previous owner wanted those cars back.He indicated to me that he would sell the lot for somewhere between 1mm and 1.1 million .
My interest was in the Yenko only. I have a friend who is a caretaker for a large car collection in N. California that was going to take the rest of the collection...all I want is a real 1969 , 427 Camaro...is that too much to ask ?
