Tom, did you sell your beautiful 69 Yenko Camaro? I never heard if it sold or not. Thanks!

[T Billigen]

Yes, I delivered it on Friday. I'm sure the new owner will post something on the site when he is ready.

I am now the owner (again) of my 1968 Corvette Bronze 396/375 Camaro which I originally purchased new at Kenny Ross Chevrolet in Pittsburgh, PA in September 1968. Car only has 5K original miles, and may be a Non-Converted COPO/Yenko which I was unaware of at the time I owned it. Have been researching this possibility for sometime now and all signs are looking very positive. Will update as I learn more. I have attached a picture of the car that was taken in 1968 in front of the dealership.

Wonderful news Tom.CONGRATS
Glad to hear it is coming back to you.
The Following is from an article from Kenny Ross himself in January 1970,through the Chevrolet Central magazine:

Kenny Ross,from Kenny Ross Chevrolet,is Performance minded,but not a specilaist.He has been keeping a close watch on the Youth market for some time."marketing for all sorts of products has been aimed at the under 25's-and that includes cars."
Even though the Dealership is not located in a Performance area,he believes that getting into the performance market is the way to reach young buyers.Today,close to 25% of thier new car business is in peformance cars.
"The kids are looking for identification,........individualty,they're looking for a Car with Flare....speed...color-something different.
For this reason we do a lot of custom painting.
The Kenny Ross Dealership has three specialists on the sales staff,and a seperate showroom for High performance parts.
The most Important thing a dealer needs,Ross Believes,Is a Service Dept. equipped to handle performance car business.When it comes to ordering,most of the Kids Know as much about the cars as anyone on our staff.But if you don't have good service,you lose the business.This is especially true in make-ready,so we can make an extra special effort preparing performance cars for Delivery".(Outstanding equipment in thier service department includes a Dynamometer-not usually found outside specialized speed shops.)
