This was the car that was part of that 1.75 million package deal from Mecum. Does anybody know if the pics in this thread were reunited with the car?

I finally found my pictures of Keith's car. (Thanks to Bruce for helping me post) These pictures were taken in about 1979 at Art Goebel Ford in Anoka, MN. I believe that is Dennis (the original owner) standing in the T-shirt near the front of the car. Keith, you are welcome to these original photos if you want them.
Rick

The owners name escapes me but this is the other '69 Yenko Chevelle from Minneapolis. I believe the original color was also Le Mans Blue but I may be wrong. The current owner is welcome to these original photos. I am guessing these were taken around 1981.

These two were taken at Great Lakes Dragway around 1983. Yet another Black '69 Yenko Chevelle. I have no idea the original color but what a nice way to haul it around. The Hugger Orange car was from I believe Wisconsin. The current owners are welcome to the original photos.

I do not recall where these were taken. They could have been SCS 1983 but not positive. I have no owner information then or now on them either.

Lastly, this is a Bonze '69 Chevelle L-89 from what I recall. I don't even remember taking these pictures so I can't tell you anything other then I believe they were also taken at SCS 1983. If anyone knows the current owner, he can have the photos.

Rick,

-------We may not have ever been formally introduced but the day you took this pic of the blue Yenko you were standing right next to me. Look at the goofy guy who appears to be in his skivvies with the camera. Yup!!!! I dont even remember taking the picture, but I believe this was at Super Chevy Indy right about the time you say. I brought a 70 SS454/LS5 Chevelle convertable with 8" knock-offs that was painted 1972 pewter silver/white top+stripes/black gut. Sure wish I had it back. At least we knew what we liked, even then.........Bill S......Oh,,,I got rid of the skivvies!!!
