On another discussion on this site it mentioned that only 2 1969 Olympic Gold Yenko Camaros of the 10 produced had white stripes this is number 3. Pictures are whats left of the original white yenko stripes wrapped around front edge of the door. You can also see some of the Olympic Gold paint underneath the Maroon Lacquer that was applied in the 1970s.

I believe that Chevelle was owned by a Davenport cop. Only one I saw in the Quad cities back in the day. He partied with us in about 1971.

Don't know. Lost track of him and the car. Probably got married and traded it for a Caprice. There was a very cool White/blk striped LS6 with Cragers running the streets about the same time. That was a very cool piece too. I don't think I ever ran across this OG Camaro. After talking to these guys Doug bought the car from, they were street junkies. Ran the ones on the IL side. We stayed on the IA. side. IL. cops would pick you up in a minute for just being there.
