Yenkos at Mecum Auction

NovaMob03 Those are real photos. They were shot in a professional studio for us by Brian Sapp in 1991. The "surrealistic" look is intentional and due to the lighting. No expense was spared in the photography and these pictures have been used, and "borrowed" in numerous books and articles. Mecum has the color on the lower photos screwed up, maybe they just scanned them and lost the green. This RG Yenko is an original vinyl top car (sold at Jack Douglass), and is one of the Camaro's that is, in my opinion, as sharp as any 71 billboard Cuda due to the color combination. Maybe John has some more recent photo's available he can post.

YES to what he said! . Wasn't there a blasphemous statement to the contrary on here a few weeks ago? .

I dould assume that black with a black billboard has to be very rare....didn't Kevin Suydam have one of these at one time?

Steve,
I called Mecum to ask if it was an X 11 trim car as the pic shows it having quarter lourvers. The sales rep didn't know the answer but told me it was a 'computer generated' pic. I just think it'd be a good thing if we could some good post resto shots of the car to get the 'buzz' going on the car. Hope it brings all the cheese!
