something odd and interesting, the Cliff Ernst OG car and the Hedrick Yenko had 1967 Corvette 427 numbers bolted on to the Chevy bowtie on the back of the car.

Was the Karen car wrecked at a track in Wind Gap, PA. Was told a story many years ago about 69 Yenko that was wrecked in a racing accident there. It lost control and hit some trees that lined the track, got me thinking now it could be true since the car was from NJ.

Mountain view dragway was in Wind Gap PA. Was told about the crash around 1993 by a fellow that was there when it happened. Don't know what year it was wrecked, Wish I could go back in time and ask more about it but at the time figured it was just a bunch of BS

This Decal was from Mattingly Automotive in Greenfield Indiana. Mattingly Automotive was owned by John Mattingly. John was a prominent engine builder in the Indianapolis area. He built many motors for Drag cars and Stock cars in the Indy area. He built the motor for the "Motivation" Yenko camaro. We have been in contact with his family to see if we can get a clearer picture of there old logo and hopefully more pictures of the 'Motivation" Camaro. John passed away in 2013.

Rocker black out over the original body color out of the FISHER side would be correct...
The question is DID Chevrolet Assembly paint the rockers Body Color (GOLD) or did they paint the fender bottoms black? Dave Beems x66 yenko never had the fender bottoms painted black - it had the rockers repainted "body color" at the end of the Chevrolet line or if it escaped final inspection, at Yenko.

Since Bill Hunter was the original owner ....I am sure there are original photos from 1969, 70, 71. To compare then and now...please ask him to help assist with photos. We would all like to see them.
