Olympic Gold Yenko

The junkyard car Mark is refering to is likely the one I found in Wanaukee, WI March 1981: N579434/NOR 202470. It was abandoned on the street in Madison and Schmidts' ended up with it. For $75 I bought the dash cluster and rear axle. [No matter what HB says I sold that axle to the owner of the #40 ZL1 at the time]. There wasn't much left of it and it had been repainted dark blue. I believe it came from Yunker Chev in Oconomowoc and led a hard life. They took it back in trade in 1976; it was already blue and had a small-block.

I only knew of 4. Mine, Barry's, Wayne's, Cliff's. That makes one more in Connecticut, where are the other 2? I think that is fantastic.

Kevin, the O-gold Yenko Camaro that Randy Miller had, where did it go?

It was taken completely apart and re-restored correctly by the SCW. Its the same car posted in the beginning of this thread.

I agree the SCW does them the way they were supposed to be, I saw the car after Randy had if restored, and it had white stripes when it left Randys, Olympic gold on a Yenko Camaro is a awesome.

This car was purchased from Randy Miller. Barry bought it and had it restored back to its original black/gold combination..This is a cool picture of the car as it was being re-assembled without stripes yet...BKH

And the finished car. One picture from the Pittsburgh WOW show, the other two from the downtown Canonsburg show. The gentleman pictured in the car that day was a former Yenko employee nicknamed "Soup". Soup did many jobs around the Yenko dealership in the supercar heyday. He helped Donna Mae count cars and told us they rarely came up with the same numbers. He most likley sat in this car in the spring of 1969 moving the car about...Very nice man..BKH

Neat pics and history Brian!

I know when it left Randys the floor pans were painted Gold like the rest of the car, the car looks a lot better with black stripes(no offense to anyone who has a car with white stripes), another great job by Brian and the SCW crew.
