Any update on this?

He is in Fla.......for the winter?

I'd imagine he'd come home for a Yenko Camaro, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] not for the whole PA Winter, but....

I know he is enjoying the weather right now! I am in Hiltonhead for the week and its in the upper 80s here.

I don't think I could have consciously kept that car for more than 24 hours after buying it before looking for the heater box #'s.

Incredible story so far.

I agree 100%. That car should have been disassembled inspected and photographed every which way from Sunday. Picture validating the car would/should have been posted immediately. Now all we can do is speculate as to why no proof has been disclosed.

The question still remains. Does what remains of the original car fit in an envelop or ???

Let's take it easy here guys. People who are successful, as Bergy obviously seems to be given the iron in his garage, seldom get there by sitting on their behinds. They are busy, driven people who have business to tend to and when they don't their family is often demanding they spend some time with them. It's a balancing act. I don't think his first priority is (or should be) satisfying the curiosity of a bunch of gearheads like us on this site.

Let's chill and let the guy get to it.

I think everyone is quite 'chillin' (aka 'patient'), as this thread is/has been very civil given the topic / claim. I think Bergy has been given ample 'benefit of doubt', as well as 'understanding' regarding his current out of state status.

The underlying urgency is that this car suddenly has a story that is being proposed in order to support that there is more 'YENKO' existing than just the presumed VIN tag and a title. So far, it looks like we have a sway bar and a dash cluster - we've seen this before (I think an OG Yenko in WI gave up similar items). So, as fellow enthusiasts - its quite interesting and a bit more than curious! The logging truck accident is interesting, as is the crashed car in the barn.... gotta see the car though.

The &quot;story&quot; of this car unfolded right here on this site in real time thanks to some great car people who contributed their input. The 1982 logging truck accident was supplied by me via sworn, first hand statement from the brother of the then owner. The many copo attributes of the car include more then just a sway bar and cluster (although those are important). I had no idea that all of these facts existed from the outset, and I was very conflicted about including the community in this experience. I even PMed Tom about a week before posting that I had acquired the car - asking for advice. I do appreciate the site and the helpful members of the community, so I decided to let everyone share in the experience. I'm old enough to know that there will always be skeptics. I also know that I will never be able to satisfy all of them, so I stopped trying long ago. I never would have purchased this car if I wasn't pretty certain that it was indeed the Yenko - fortunately, subsequent information (that I had no knowledge or control over) has done nothing but reinforce my belief.
The car is not going anywhere. When it gets disassembled, it needs to be fully documented. I'm sorry that it's not happening on the time table that some would prefer. I'll just point out that everyone in the world had an opportunity to buy it. The responsibility for timing and documentation of disassembly belongs to the person who stepped up. I'm not investing more resources into the physical car until it's in the place where it's going to get restored and I have the ownership documentation completed. I have seen enough to convince me, and there will never be enough to convince the severest skeptics.
Ownership investigation is going pretty well, I have received 7 title transactions and I am assured that 3 to 5 more exist dating back to at least 1976. It's the last 3 to 5 that should tell rest of the story. The only other piece of new information is photos that I have received from a former owner (in addition to the ones from the member who inspected the car 10 years ago). They are not very revealing though. Again, while I'm in FL - I'm working on documentation. The results of this phase will determine timing of disassembly. Thanks to all who have supplied information - please feel free to post, PM, or email me with anything additional that you might have to contribute. Most owners probably would have completed this whole investigation phase before revealing anything to the community. I hope that most have enjoyed the experience so far, and I'm sorry for the frustration of others. I would estimate that the &quot;file&quot; on this car is in excess of 200 pages already - believe me, I haven't been sitting on my hands. As important facts are revealed - I'll be sure to post.
