Hi Joe. I have seen that photo before. Looks like 15” Thanks for the advice. I will reach out and look on some of those sites. The original spare tire was in the trunk and I have it listed on the Yenko paperwork.

I got good news yesterday. The motor is ready to be picked up ...so I will be getting it from the engine builder next week.

That's great to hear.Enjoy checking in on this thread weekly. :burnout:

I enjoy the ride with everyone. It’s good to see the build enjoyed by others. We hope that this car build can help others .

Frank has started massaging the body ( LOL). He is on 1200 grit ...working his way to 2000 grit.

Out driving today I came upon this. Humorous

Original Station
 

This is the Gas Station that was owned by the Russo family. The father Patsy Russo and son Rich owned the station for several years. Patsy was a salesman at Yenko Chevrolet as well. Their station did small projects for Yenko Chevrolet according to Rich. Items such as tires, Rearend swaps, Headers, etc. They did not want to tie up there 2 bay garage for too long.

Located at 404 W. Pike St. Canonsburg PA

67

I found 3 ORIGINAL Yenko badges that will proudly be installed on the car. Much better than the reproductions that you always see. I learned a good lesson from repro vs original.

Coming along
 

The shell after cut and buffed

Doug - looking great!

Original Yenko Badges
 

These Yenko badges are original but will need restored. Here are 2 photos front and rear. The repops have a part number on the back.

Those must have been easy to come by! :rolleyes:

Doug,because it's different,is the center sYc emblem you show the back tail panel emblem?

All 3 of these emblems were painted at some point...so they all will be the same color when restored. This car was badged on all 3 sides like the 68’s were . This happened because the car was sold March 16, 1968 ...so it followed the 68 Ideas on badging. It is my understanding that the 67 Yenkos did not receive the Yenko badges

How do the slicks bite with a couple inches of snow on the track?

I am not surprised how many factory assembly markings that have been found on this 67. Being a Pennsylvania car its entire life that is a true testament on how John cared for this car. I have never seen such a pristine subframe/suspension components on a 1st generation camaro.

John gets all the credit...and his heated garage !!!

that's pretty cool,never knew there was any connection between the Russo's and Yenko..other than both being in Canonsburg. early 80's a good friend worked at that gas station and I can remember hanging out with him there. don't ever remember it being Sunoco back then..but that was a long time ago,you know how memories are..lol you guys are doing a beautiful job on this car,can't wait to see it done! :)

Throughout the years the station changed Brands/Names...according to Rich it’s probably been 4-5 different stations. I think it started as an Essex ?
