Yea, that blue one is the car that is claimed to only have 200 miles. The green one is 3k miles or so. I'll take the pic down tonight and scan it in - The Gambler

Yeah - Park's car shows 3345 miles if the clock hasn't been tampered with. Other then a possible repaint, it looks unmolested to me. Wish I'd had more time to look it over more completly.

So do we have a consensus? Is Park's car the lowest milage 69 Yanko known?

Haha right!? My dad bought it as a roller from the original owner and these pictures were from when he first bought it. I figure Lloyd kept the wheels and tires and these snows were put on as rollers.

Good work Charley. I'm not boasting about my car, but there were many '69 Camaros that were raced when new. Mine has 977 original miles; not a Yenko or COPO, but still a X22 350 horse stick. As for new 1/4s on &quot;The Gambler&quot;.....don't know when they were installed, but likely the restorer thought it was the best thing to do. In hindsight, repairing the originals would've been preferable. Very cool car and the best years (IMO) of drag racing. Those cars had character, neat names and were easily identified by fans in the stands (unlike any of today's classes other than Stock and Super Stock). Thanks for the pictures and info.
