Yenko Camaros (1969) - Two! - Lemont, Il. 1969

[olredalert]

-----Were both these cars bought from Jack Douglass Chevrolet??? I do know one of the past owners (not original) of a yellow J/D Yenko. By the time he got it the car it had no vinyl top and Im not sure if it had one new or not. My friend found the car in relatively bad condition in Downers Grove in app. 1980/81, and proceeded to restore it. The car may or may not have been delivered with the outside stripes as well. They may have been removed early on to try (probably unsuccessfully) to give the car a little sleeper attitude!!! He was a service writer for J/D before he came to work for Classic Motors, and is still around today.......Bill S

------Rick,,,You posted while I was typing (and correcting). I think you and I are talking about the same car. My friends name was George Weathered. He put the stripes back on the car when he restored it. He also underwrote the first reproduction of the "Yenko" emblems that I had heard about at the time and retailed some of them as well as sold them to several vendors.
