Stefano, congradulations on the purchase of one of the nicest 69 Yenko Camaro's in existance today, and probably one of the most documented also. Not to mention the 81 Yenko Turbo Z, Stage II, that is coming along with it to help keep it warm up there in the cold.I will put new anti freeze in both before the hauler picks them up. Sorry, it was 75 here this weekend. BUT it is now freezing here also. Hope Chris worked out the deal on the ZL-1 I was helping put together.I am sure you will have this car at next years' reunion. And guess what? It is not a Douglas, but a real Cannonsburg car-both of them!!!!

Just joking with you [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . The Douglas Yenko's are rare indeed! Now you have two from the Cannonsburg Yenko Dealership.I feel you will be very happy. Plan on spending a couple of evenings reviewing all the documentation that the 69 Yenko Camaro has with it.

Maurice;
The Bodner car has great info, especially the tapes. Were you able to get them converted to VHS? When that car was owned by a guy here in my area, Brian and I met at his house and got to see the doc's (especially that cool large orange brochure 'Meet the Mean Ones'), but not the film footage.

Did the ZL-1 sell?

I can't wait. I have been looking at pictures of that Yenko in the books and magazines for years. When I think of a Yenko Camaro, that is the one which first pops into my mind.

The Turbo Z Stage II was a nice surprize. Thanks for providing me first chance at it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

You probably already know this ..but that is the car on the back cover of John Hooper's book "The 1969 Camaro Reference Book "...You will see his name in the front acknowledgements. Congradulations on a beautiful Camaro! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I met Dan Bodner at Super Chevy in Maple Grove in 1988 and that is the same thing he told me. I had my Hugger Orange (automatic) Yenko Camaro there also. I may have some photos of that event...if the new owner wants some copies...let me know.
