back in 1974 i lived in the north end of columbus ohio, me and a couple buddies shared a 3 bedroom apartment. it was close to christmas time and on morse road there was an old house that set up near the road. one day there was a black with white yenko stripe 69 chevelle setting right next to the house with a small for sale sign in the window. i stopped and checked it out, it looked mostly original and clean. asking $3000, looking futher i seen it was a automatic, bummer. at the time i had a 69 Z/28 and a 66 SS chevy II L/79. i wanted a 4 speed so i thought i would wait and someday i would find one. "somedays never come" the car was gone in a few short days and i have never seen it locally again. snooze ya loose. dennis

Do you remember what color interior that black 69 Chevelle had? My COPO Chevelle spent a lot of its life in Columbus Ohio. Its originally white with red bench/automatic interior but I know it was painted black at one time - someone coulda put yenko stripes on it at the time even though its not a Yenko...

Any chance it might have been the one you saw back in 1974???

it had black interior i "think", and i am not positive but i think it was automatic on the column. thats what really turned me off from it. now i would love a bench seat with cloumn shift if it came that way from factory. after growing up with dads bench seat column shift stick/auto that was the last thing i wanted. 4 speed, buckets and console was what i had on my mind. i do still like a 4 speed, but with bench seat. also i work on morse road and i went by karl/morse and noticed there is still a old PATIO SHOPS sign there dennis

after looking through this site for info for the "black" yenko chevelle i found in the yenko vins. section with 3 sold at hugh white chevrolet in downtown columbus,ohio unknown for color/trans. i did witness a dark green with white stripe yenko chevelle in there showroon in summer of 69. it had matching green interior with bucket seats and console with the U shaped shifter. the window sticker listed it as a 427/450 hp. now whether they sold it there or dealer traded it away i do not know. it sure left a long lasting impresson on me dennis
