Are you sure about that plate? There's a blue clone in the Jerseyville area that has had 'YENKO' on it for years.

If I remember the story right Tim and your dad were nieghbors and worked at United. They were given a bonus so they both went to Douglass and bought Yenko Camaros when your dad went back to pick up his Camaro he ended taking the Chevelle instead. The Yenko Camaro Tim bought was found abought 3 years ago and now the guy who owns Coast to Coast restoration owns it. Search Coast to Coast Restorations and look for 1969 Yenko Camaro thats the car.
