67 (YENKO) baldwin motion identification question

[berger]

yeah I couldn't find any indications of tag holes, the other spot on rear jam appeared to be a factory spot weld.

[John]

...What would your YS# tag be?

[berger]

it would be a small number plate but they were not on 67 camaros just stingers and 68 camaro's, I believe the yenko super camaro number assigned to it on the work orders is 722, but the mechanic was going off memory and did not have paperwork in front of him when we last spoke.

[berger]

spoke w/ vince emmi over the phone, 10000$ for documentation, forget that, but he did describe a car he owned in early 70s he bought off a drag racer sounded exactly like mine right down to the 57 olds rear and flat hood, red car orig painted over white.Hmmmmm.....

If Vince owned it in the 70's he would have known it was a Yenko and would have sold it as a Yenko. I don't understand how it's Heritage could have gotten lost. I would think it would have been kept as a Yenko.

Charlie I gotta find that ad of a 67 yenko for sale in the springfield area in the late 70s, someone already spoke of, I think it may be the same car, I don't think the car was running when vince had it or after if its the same one, my motor got pulled in 80', dealer may have bought it as a yenko for the motor.

[berger]

he was describing a lot of cars he use to have, described another that he looked at that waas ayenko but guy made it a world of wheels car with blower, pleated velour interior turbo 400, pink stripes on candy apple red paint, weird thing is I have slides of that car at a world of wheels show just as he described, they were in my glove box when I bought my car, I think he sold his white one to the guy for parts, he said last he knew the show car was sold to a guy in a small town in ny who beat the hell out of it and blew the motor, my white one was last registered in a small town south of albany, I think two yenkos both 67 rs's traveled from owner to owner in the 70s and early 80s together, one a pimped out showcar(red) and mine a white parts car, the good part is vince said the white one was the only yenko he owned where he was able to track down the original motor from another racer, he put it back in car before he sold it, too many coincidences.

Nice to see Vince has finally gotten reasonable...!

[berger]

I'll post pics of the show car maybe someone will recognize it, its got the guys name in the pin strip and on the world of wheels sign in the windshield, I think it says JoeC but not the guy on this site I already asked him, showcar was ugly.... you wouldn't know it was ever a yenko unless you ran the numbers like mine, even had 454 emblems on it..

Why don't you just have Ed Cunneen out to look at her ? Then you can put all the coincidences to bed....
