Hello Kevin,
Yenko just built a total of 10 Olympic Gold Camaros. One was sold at W.R. Austin Chevrolet in South Norwalk, CT. It is still in the original owner's garage.
It is not for sale.
He got it for a high school graduation present
How may are still known?

There are at least 7 Gold cars accounted for including one that went to the junkyard.

The junkyard car Mark is refering to is likely the one I found in Wanaukee, WI March 1981: N579434/NOR 202470. It was abandoned on the street in Madison and Schmidts' ended up with it. For $75 I bought the dash cluster and rear axle. [No matter what HB says I sold that axle to the owner of the #40 ZL1 at the time]. There wasn't much left of it and it had been repainted dark blue. I believe it came from Yunker Chev in Oconomowoc and led a hard life. They took it back in trade in 1976; it was already blue and had a small-block.

I only knew of 4. Mine, Barry's, Wayne's, Cliff's. That makes one more in Connecticut, where are the other 2? I think that is fantastic.

This car was purchased from Randy Miller. Barry bought it and had it restored back to its original black/gold combination..This is a cool picture of the car as it was being re-assembled without stripes yet...BKH
