Re: 69 Yenko Camaro
Tommy,
I do believe I saw your vin tag at Mecum in '05 (or one JUST like it!). So the question is, who has the real car! I would vote for you since you have the body with the hidden vin's and hopefully the trim tag. The big $$$ buyer is in for a rude suprise on his '69 Yenko. Good luck. Mark

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro
Those pictures of it racing are from George Ray's "Wildcat" drag strip down in Paragould...you can tell by the clothes that the first picture was taken several years ago, but the second picture looks recent...yes, George still lets folks stand at the starting line like that during the racing...you can't see it in the picture, but there will be folks lined up along the edge of the track as well.

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro
The car was raced a lot at Paragould. I was given photo albums to make copies from. It was also run at Sikeston if I remember correct and also at Ozark International in Springfield. He mentioned others but I didn't write it all down. I know the car was in the Salem, MO area and the Poplar Bluff, MO area from a couple of owners. I go to Poplar bluff once a month and I have an appt with that guy coming up soon. We talked for a while the other day and he told me some neat things about the car.

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro
This situation happened recently here in PA. The car with the vin had to give it back to the car with the firewall. Now there is a real Yenko with it's vin plate back, and a clone with a empty hole in the dash - just the way it should be.
Unfortunately, it took 15+ years, but diligence pays off

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro
I foresee lots of lawsuits being filed soon on this one. I'm sure the guy who bought the set of Yenkos at the auction isn't going to be real happy with losing $250K or so of value.

Re: 69 Yenko Camaro
Charlie is right, there will probably be a suit. There was/is a few with the PA car. However, it's settling down now and it appears that the guy with the clone took it in the shorts.
