Gold Yenko at Mecum sets record

[camarojoe]

The gold car in question has the Yenko emblems above the Camaro scripts on the fenders, the 427 emblems bolted to the fenders behind the marker lights, with no emblems on the hood at all, and the unique rear emblem placement with the Corvette 427 numbers placed over the stock bowtie and a Yenko emblem placed far to the right of the factory bowtie. There were no other cars with any of these details present including the Ed Hedrick car, which was not done this way originally nor were any others. I don't really see how it's so hard to believe that this was likely (almost certainly) the only car ever done this way because it was the first one they ever did. No they didn't have to get 17 cars delivered at the same time or on the same day, they likely all sat in the holding lot for a week or so while they decided how to go about getting them prepared, and watched the transporters drop more and more off. When it came time to start the conversions they picked this one out of the row and tried the new 69 stripe and emblem layout on it. They likely made corrections and changes to this layout after that first trial, and pretty much stuck with that template for all the remaining cars.

Absolutely zero reason the emblem layout on this car would have randomly been done completely unlike 200 other ones, unless it was the first one they ever did.
