'68 Camaro on Yenko VIN list

[ryanchevelle]

If the guy who built the car for his wife knew he had a real yenko in 2015 he either sold it for non real yenko money because he wanted the keepsakes or the buyer paid real yenko money for an undocumented car. Neither of those makes sense to me. No one’s leaving that kind of money on the table for sentimental keepsakes and that applies to buyer and seller. And he refuses to even send a picture of the items? I know some people are hard to deal with but surely something appeals to almost all types of personalities. Figure it out and go that route, if money doesn’t motivate, maybe pride/prestige does. “No one believes it’s a real car, help me prove them wrong” or “the car deserves to be recognized as a real car and your and your wife’s story is part of the cars history to be told” type of thing. Just another idea if moneys not a motivator.

Right, Joe. I have a very thorough log of over 350 Yenko classified ads placed from back in the day. Of all those cars, I'm most intrigued by this one, and have done considerable research to locate the car. It's impossible to gauge by the ad the validity of the claim, but an L88 '69 Nova by Yenko would be an all-time car.

So yeah, I'll continue on with my historical research regarding this Camaro. I never claimed it to be a Yenko. I've only asked appropriate questions to gather more insight as to what this car used to be. I don't need to be ridiculed for questioning who put this car on this list, what information they have "It's a long story", and accused of buying a car that I didn't do my research on. I did my homework before buying this car and paid fair market value for a customized '68 Camaro that I wanted to conduct research on. The members of this page who think they're clever for the way the correspond does nothing other than question the motives and validity of who's in charge of adding cars to the list.

Funny, I had engaging and interesting dialogue with them before asking about the threshold of who could add/subtract cars. From there on you can see what unfolded.

I'll share with you privately some of the cool ads I've got clipped from Yenko related classifieds.

Wes and I communicated today and there are no outstanding issues. He is satisfied with the information both the CRG and this site has provided.

I think we both made assumptions and once we communicated directly all was resolved. He is going to continue solving the history of the car and as always we collectively are here to assist our members and fellow enthusiasts.

This site is going strong even as we hit our 25th anniversary and appreciate everyones contributions....

Wes, I sent you a PM.

I was disappointed to find these chatter marks on the axle tube. I can see parts of the factory stampings but that's it.

Why would someone do that? Hopefully the hidden vin isn't in the same condition.

ok, I've seen enough...
