Well, I've climbed the mountain and have seen the Yenko!

The Yenko was nice to me. I couldn't look it in the eyes because they were missing! Very cool car! I'd love to run across something like that. I have no doubt that Dana will get it back on it's "feet" and breathing fire again. And it turns out that Dana's a nice family guy! Whoever said that all car guys were greasy and lived in trailers is nuts. When I was leaving I swear I heard the Yenko wimper as I fired up my Caprice. Soon my friend...very soon!

Thanks Mark
I have proof that the people on this site are real. They are not just in the computer or on the other end of the phone. It was a pleasure having Mark over to check out the find. My parents always told me to share. It proves my theory that it is the people you meet in this hobby that make it worthwhile and the cars are just the excuse.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I have an update on the paint issue. My friend called from the Mecum auction in IL. and said the Fathom Blue 68 Yenko at the auction was built in the same month as my car and also has the -- paint code. It is also a 712 std interior. The car was roped and guarded but my friend did get some pictures. When I get them does anyone want to see them posted?

I also saw 8021 last weekend and it also was Fathom Blue with -- paint code.

That car was sold new down by Ray Morrison. Gary Dyer had that car restored several years ago. Very, Very nice car. Kim

The gift that keeps on giving...
I spent 10 more hours at the sellers property yesterday and turned up some great stuff. Here is actual gauge pack that was in the car when he bought it. Notice wood grain sticker. Outside holes on top were drilled to attach to underdash. Gauges are in good shape. I have more...

Here is tach and sending unit seller gave me. The outline and holes on the firewall match up to box, and the holes in the cluster line up to tach. I am assuming these are correct parts for the car? I saved the best for last...
