Default Re: E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!

Just a little FYI in @84 that car was listed for parts in the Sell-it or Tradin times. A very good Camaro buddy went to see it the night the add hit. It was in the bottom of a bank barn in Lancaster back in the sticks . When he arrived 2 guys were blowing the interior out of it, doors (PS damaged badly),were leaning agaist the wall and another couple of people yanking the rear out. The engine and trans ended up in a Chevelle local to that area. He wound up with the hood off of it which I moved many times, it was slammed on the pass side and rolled under, so hard it broke the 427 emblem on that side. I spoke with him about the car tring to find what happened to it. I just questioned him again about what he saw that night He told me the car was hurt very badly on the pass side pillar and cowl and front , slammed something that didn't move !!!! It was stripped to a shell and sold off in hours that night. The hood is still arround as a wall ornament !!!!

At first I thought you meant the 427 emblem on the fender was broken, but after I reread it I think you mean the 427 emblem on the hood was broken? Could the body have been saved in '84? Do you know who ended up with the body that night?

Jim,

I assume you recall this encounter via the vin# - but just to be sure, it wasn't vin #615844? This vin was also a rg y-camaro that was in the general Lancaster area, and appears to have been run hard. It eventually went out of state where it met it's demise, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] Just want to make sure of the vin's - not questioning anyone's memory here!
