Olympic Gold Yenko

I thought Kevin had a few of Gary's cars at one time...

The Vin on the Gold one in CT is 579474 has it ever been accounted for before now?

The CT car has been known for decades, I think his dad was a doctor or a dentist or something?? Nice grad present though!

I grew up in Norwalk CT and I remember seeing the gold one around. I went with my dad to W.R. Austin to buy a new car around 1969/1970 and there was a dark blue Yenko Nova in the showroom. 4 speed, white stripes, rubber floor. Unfortunately my dad bought a Nova 6 cyl w/3 on the tree instead of the Yenko. Norwalk had many, many, muscle cars in the '70's.

I got Gary's in 2003, never was completely happy with the car, sold it to John O., he sold it to Wayne S.

I agree the gold cars are the ultimate Yenko Camaros. At SCR1, I saw Cliff's car, and I think I spent more time drooling over it than all the other cars put together. His car is the 'proto-type' Yenko that was featured in SS&DI, right? The 427 emblem placement is also different on that car too, right? On the front of the fenders instead of on the cowl section of the hood.

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

And the finished car. One picture from the Pittsburgh WOW show, the other two from the downtown Canonsburg show. The gentleman pictured in the car that day was a former Yenko employee nicknamed "Soup". Soup did many jobs around the Yenko dealership in the supercar heyday. He helped Donna Mae count cars and told us they rarely came up with the same numbers. He most likley sat in this car in the spring of 1969 moving the car about...Very nice man..BKH

Neat pics and history Brian!

I know when it left Randys the floor pans were painted Gold like the rest of the car, the car looks a lot better with black stripes(no offense to anyone who has a car with white stripes), another great job by Brian and the SCW crew.

My favorite color. I think to have one with Black or white, doesn't matter, just having one! I saw the former Randy Miller car at Brians back in 2002 before Brian did the car. I worried Barry for years on that car. I finally gave up when the mine became available. I am absolutely delighted to have another one. Why Gold wasn't popular then, i'll never understand.
