Re: Humphrey Chevy---Yenko Dealer ad
I like the individual 4 2 7 letters below the Camaro emblem on the fenders... has any 67 Yenko been found with emblems like that?

Re: Humphrey Chevy---Yenko Dealer ad
I bought a used Corvair at Humphrey May 1969. At one time WI largest Corvette dealer.
Gone now. The lot where the showroom was has been vacant since it was torn down in the '70s.

Re: Humphrey Chevy---Yenko Dealer ad
I think that was one of the few that stared out as 350 car. The one we are restoring right now was a 396/375. The emblems on the 396 were simply changed to the 427 Turbo Jet style...BKH

Re: Humphrey Chevy---Yenko Dealer ad
Yes, it was an SS350... the car in that ad was actually photographed by Don himself behind the dealership. He sent copies to various network dealers to use for advertising and promotion. I have all the original shots of the car, including the one used in the Humphrey's ad. Here's a few other outtake photos from the same photo shoot. Seems they couldn't decide whether to leave the headlights open or closed! Note the pic selected for the ads is marked with a #6... pretty sure that meant Don wanted 6 copies printed of that particular shot. Not sure what the "H" signifies on the other photo, Humphrey's maybe? Who knows!?

Re: Humphrey Chevy---Yenko Dealer ad
Here's what appears to be another SS350 converted car, with stock SS hood, vette pipes, redlines, rallys, (sans trim rings) and no vinyl top...sitting inside the Yenko dealership in Canonsburg. Note the date on the pics... March 1968. Either a leftover 67, or possibly a year old car in for service...wish i knew for sure!

Re: Humphrey Chevy---Yenko Dealer ad
I think the one in the photo was found years ago. It was an ACC tech article Camaro at one point. Color was butternut yellow With side pipes. One of the reasons you may see some 68 dates is the cars were produced very late in 1967. The plum car we are doing is 05D and is one of the first. I have paperwork from Yenko with one "new" 427 67' Yenko Camaro being sold in March of 68'....BKH
