Wow! Stouts in Reading? Keith, how did you end up with the car, I thought your uncle bought it new? I might be getting my rallye green cars confused, but isn't this the dunn&grasso car - or was that the other RG car you had??

Hi Marlin,

You got some of the story correct and some not. Yes my car was owned by Bob Grasso (as in Dunn & Grasso Performance) Bob was my wife’s uncle (by marriage). Back in the late seventies and early eighties at the same time Bob had 2 1969 Rally Green Yenko Camaros. One was an automatic, black stripe sold new at Marshall Chevrolet. The other RG car was a 4-speed car, white stripe, black vinyl top sold at new Karen Chevrolet, now my car. I never claimed Bob to be the original owner. As a matter of fact Bob never titled my car but owned it for some time.

Regarding Bob as the original owner, I have no idea how many owners the car had before me. I think you may be thinking of the fact my car’s NJ title indicates an “A” prefix. I believe the “A” was used in NJ whenever a car moved to NJ from another state? My car was in PA before I owned it.

I have owned my car for about 25 years and have known the car longer, but don’t know it’s complete history from day one. Some of that may be changing if I can verify that Nazareth Motorcar did own my car. I would like to know the VIN of his old car.

I hope this helps.

Keith
