It sounds like YS725 is on the market again. Besides this old thread (from 2002!) I found pictures of when I first looked at the car-it was the first Yenko Camaro I saw up close. This is right after it was restored for second owner Tom Gindorff (in wheelchair).. It was 1993 in Minneapolis, just before I got married and moved to Seattle. Coincidentally, I found myself in the bar line at Barrett Jackson last month and there was a guy in front of me with a Yenko themed coat on. I asked if he had any Yenkos, and he said he'd owned a number of them, including a Deepwater Blue '67. I told him the first one I'd seen was Deepwater Blue, owned by a guy named Tom who was in a wheelchair. Turns out this guy in front of me was Mr. Gene Schmidt, and he had restored the car for Tom after his was done back then even though he didn't really restore cars for other people (due to Tom's enthusiasm and his disability). What a small world! Its a neat car-somebody buy it! (and no offense, please take those side pipes off, please? I'm still not a fan, but I am a little more tactful than I was 15 years ago lol)
