Anyone remember this car?

[DarrenX33]

Well then keep the pictures coming Jim. Cool car. I'll throw that question out there again.. Is it a real Yenko??

[SULLY]

Yes, it's real
Joe, it's from your neck
of the woods.

Sully, do tell more! Is this a Canonsburg sold Yenko? I'm perplexed by the lack of Yenko and 427 badging, as well as the lack of hood striping. I notice the quarter stripes are missing the Yenko text as well. Was the "Yenko/SC" painted over or could these stripes have been joined this way since new, eliminating the Yenko/SC wording? Perhaps it was a walk-in Canonsburg customer's request. That would explain the lack of hood striping and badging as well, if the customer simply didn't want the Yenko name all over his new car. I know I'm speculating quite a bit, but until you clue us in here Sully it's all we can do. Fill us in, awesome looking car, any current pics of it?

Not "The Gambler" if it was from PA, hmmmm......

[SULLY]

Yes, it's a Cononsburg car.
Owner knew Don and wanted it
that way. When I talked to him
originally he said he didn't
have the hood stripes installed
when he bought it. I didn't realize
he didn't have any of the badging
either. He also said he had Don
use a blank tape stripe without
the script. Anyway when I bought it
it had Z stipes on it and had the
427 hood emblems on. The car was badly
damaged in 72? and had been repaired
and repainted.
Marlin I believe you know the car.

Did someone whack a pole with it one time?

[SULLY]

Yep.

[camarojoe]

Wow...I've heard of cars that didnt get stripes or badges, but I never heard of a yenko car that was striped, but with Don's name deleted from the stripe... I bet Don hated giving in to THAT request! VERY COOL... tell us more.

Where, and in what class, did that thing run? How long has it had the lettering on the side? And most importantly, how does it run NOW??!!

Wierd combo...I LOVE IT!

I don't know why I keep coming back to this site..lol.
I am soooooo jealous of you yenko/copo/zl-1 guys.

All the history, and cool 60's & 70's pics.

My 70 Z was apparently purchased for racing too, but I don't have any period pics.
What a find and what a great piece of history.
Mark.
