Joe, I think your right. That was what I thought it might be as well...BKH

Great picture. Was it possible to get the side stripe on a fathom blue car? Does anyone know when fathom blue went out of production and the date that the new style SS stripe went into production? Thanks

Dana's car YS8011 is Fathom Blue (- -) and has that stripe as well but no SS emblem and the low mounted Yenko badge and still wore it's original paint when I got it.

I never knew that Fathom Blue was still available as a special order color (--). Fathom Blue was no longer available as a regular production color starting Jan 68. I am guessing that Dana's car was built after January 1968. Thanks for the info.

From what I understand, Dana's car is deep water blue, a 67 color, hence the &quot;--&quot; for special paint.

The yenko in the photo appears to have an incorrectly painted SS stripe. It's probably an early 68 with the 67 style nose stripe, (before January 68)that yenko later decided to convert over the the 68 style stripe.

Starting in January of 1968, the 1968 SS cars received the D90 sport stripe package.

Great detail. I had never seen the lanyard cables on the hood pins before unless I missed them on other cars. I just wish this had been a photo of Dana's car and wonder if this car preceded his since the SS emblems are still on the fenders whereas his were removed. We believe his had the Yenko spoiler mounted on it as well and not the fiberglass decklid or GM spoiler. I still have the original decklid with the spoiler holes in it that do not match up with a GM spoiler lid. Neat detail on the antenna. Wonder what they used?

Thanks to Mark and Brian for sharing this photo. MAJOR historical value!

14x6 wheels with F70s? Such a great look.

So, what is the story behind Jennings Hart? What is the scuttlebut?

I recognize the bridge in the background.....That is Route 19 , where Route 519 passes under going to Eighty- Four, Pa. We used to give to give demo rides on 519 as it is twisty , with narrow concrete bridges ! Many times we should have had a clean underwear supply for potential customers after a test ride with one of us !
