Hi All, I'm the friend Charley was, um, commenting about. This is my very first time posting so please bear with me.

Yes, this is a '69 HO Yenko Camaro in pretty original condition except for a repaint and gobs and gobs of chrome. The previous owner had chromed the inner fenders, brake booster, cowl cover, hood hinges, pulleys, even the 4spd trans case. During its chroming-era customizations the whole engine compartment had been torn apart, and halfway through the reassembly that's where the project got stalled. And that was about 20 years ago, maybe more. So that's how I've received the car, partially in boxes and glittery as can be.

With your suggestion I did give Warren D a call but he doesn't have records for too many of the '69 cars, unfortunately including this one. So I'm still looking for some history and suggestions on how I can get some of its pretty cool options authenticated, and any help is appreciated. I'll post some pics once I figure out how to do that. Thanks Charley for getting this thread started for me!

-Wade

That's a nice find anyway you look at it, Wade. As long as the hidden vin's match the dash vin and the cowl tag's in place with a Yenko bdy #, you're golden. Getting an NICB & tracking the owner history may get you the documentation you're seeking
we always like to see pics of these cars pre resto, if you'd like to share. Congrats [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Hey Wade, welcome to the site. Great to hear another car is alive and well.

Wintertime around here causes the troops to get a little bored so some pix and frequent updates will really endear you. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Thanks all, and sorry for not getting back to you right away. I will send pics to Bruce for posting, but unfortunately I won't be able to do it until next week.
