Well, was this the missing car or not. I'm sure we would all like to know since it was brought up. On another note: Congrats Rick and Annie with an awesome find! Looking forward to seeing pics of it done.

Yes, this is that car. Not trying to be secretive just cautious. I have gotten some VERY interesting calls and emails from people. Some have been really enlightening with some of the history of the car while others tried to tell my I should not have the car and they should have it instead.

With attitude like that, they for sure should NOT have the car! I'm so glad to see you guys got it!

Congrats on such a great find Rick....the car couldn't be in more capable hands! I hope you take us all along during the the restoration like you did when you restored Mark's Z28. I am looking very forward to watching the progression of this one until finished, and when finished knowing the true craftsman that you are, it will probably be the nicest 69 Yenko Chevelle in the country!!!
