Re: yenko camaro
This is the Billigen car. One of two known to exist. This is the way Yenko ordered them from the factory prior to transplanting in the 427 engine. (427 was not part of the COPO ordering from the factory in '68). But other hi po COPO items (special sway bars) were available in '68. I am a novice - others will chime in. Tom passed away a few years ago and his widow owns the car now. Outstanding restoration!

Re: yenko camaro
He sure did Dan. I remember the Kenny Ross Chev. dealership campy t.v. commercials. I think he used his grandma in them.

Re: yenko camaro
Sure I'm not alone when saying I have seen this car in person several times in past years and it is outstanding. If my memory serves me right, I believe Tom bought it new and then reacquired it many years later.

Re: yenko camaro
Not his gradmother, it was his Aunt Penny..If you got the deal at Kenny you get a jar of Aunt Penny's jelly.. This car was sold new at Kenny Ross. It is believed dealer traded by Yenko. The original owner never knew it was a Yenko COPO 9737 Camaro. I refound this car at a local Camaro meet near the Pittsburgh Airport,and Frank Arone tried to buy it. The deal for what ever reason did not get done. I remember it was painted black and had KILLER interior. For some reason the entire original interior was never reused in the restoration. Instead it had 100% repo door panels etc installed. I have emails from Tom asking SCW to restore this car and thanking me for my help to break that the car was a 9737 COPO....BKH
