Yenko found?( or just an interesting Camaro)

I saw this car the day Jude brought it home and knew instantly it was a Yenko. No question in my mind it is the real deal. Just goes to show when you think everyone has been found, another one is uncovered so keep looking.

In regards to disc brakes being converted to drums. This is/was extremely common on drag cars. My 300 mile 69 Z-28 was a drag car from day one and has drums up front. Discs always have some drag, where as drums roll without dragging making the car just a bit quicker.

Yes, Bill. Unfortunately, the car didn't turn up. BTW it is a Fathom Green no vinyl top car

Thanks Bruce for posting the pics

Looks like another piece of history has been uncovered.

Tilt wheel? Maybe someone changed it out when it was a drag car??

Jude...it was my pleasure!

Jude, many members here know much more than I do about Yenkos...
but you showed photographic evidence as found and all the pieces fit the puzzle right.

Looks like a Yenko to me!

The auto on the column brings up a question I have always wondered, how many of the '69 Yenko Camaros that came with an automatic were switched over to a Hurst Dualgate shifter?...
