Schonyenko2...Being 19 and buying a new yenko and still have it is pretty cool to me. I been to the chevy vette fest, i was there when Ed cunneen had the zoomin z and bill porterfield had fred gibbs car there, sure like to go back again maybe next year I'll try and take my car there this time. If we would have met on the streets I'm not to sure I would have beat you I did do some racing and won but in calif in 1976 there was nothing really bad on the streets (not here anyway) I did run a 69 z28 he got me outta the hole while i smoked the tires but after second gear it just blew by him I never was good at speed shifing I was to scared of Blowing it up I know its not whats expected of an 18 yr old but i did have lots of respect for it guess thats why I still have it in one piece but now at 45 I'm building a 70 nova with a (yenko)(zl1) block, still not sure what block it is and I'm going racing but i think its gonna be with an automatic this time
hvychev....My brother was looking though the hot cars mag and found the ad, i remember when he showed it to me it looked like his 69ss 396 (375hp) camaro which i really liked his even had the same hood cause he changed it after he hit a cow at 110 mph drag racing [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] anyhow i went and called and found out it was in ny i went and told him where it was and that nobody would want to go that far to get it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] and he told me he'd go [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] so then i had to talk my dad into it cause he was gonna buy me my first car like he did for the other 6 kids (GREAT DAD)I rememeber him looking at the paper telling me there's a 73 camaro for 1500 and i told him but this car is rare and it will be worth more later on i really didn't even care about that then (he really thought i was crazy, lots of people did then) but he let me get it I do remember him telling me before he passed away (may02)don't sell it till its worth 250,000 and I'm still not sure i'd sell it .It did have the tach in it and still does i left the car the way i got it tach, traction bars,scatter shield,headers, I just painted it back to dusk blue it had been painted black. I do have some pics of it coming home on the trailer i need to scan them and i will post them. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
