This is a direct copy of a post made by one of the guys on my local VW forum. We were talking about rare muscle cars and factory race cars...

"this guy out by me has a totalled yenko camaro body. sitting on cinderblocks, rusted out, looks like [censored].

some pro baseball player offered him 50k for it, but the dude wouldnt sell it, because it was his first car and it has too much personal value i guess.

crazy if you ask me, that car will sit there till the day he dies. "

What info does one need off this car to confirm it's a real yenko? is there a QUICK way to look? I can imagine this guy doesn't want people snooping around his old beater, but it's not like I'm gunna harm it, just wanna see if it's real...then if it is, maybe it will fill a gap in the "where the heck did this car go" file for someone... Prolly not worth much anyways if it's rusty and totalled.

Where this car is is somewhere between dayton, and Cinncinnati Ohio.

For all I know, the guy is FOS...like the 427 68 or 69 Biscane my dad and I have been searching for since about 99...lol
So????

Thanks guys.

Your in the right spot, just in the wrong posts. Look here in the Yenko fourms and under the year yenko it is said to be. Theres a listing of VIN numbers and if its one it will be on that list. Can you post more info on the car, Also can you send me a pic of the Trim Tag on the firewall?

NO....lol

I've asked the guy who knows of the car for directions...we'll see what comes of it.

Whats in Wisconsion?

Sorry that the post I copied from another board needed censord...I guess i didn't read through it throughoughly enough.

I was asking my dad, who's been in the car scene since the mid 60's if he rememberd any Yenko, Copo, Nickey, or BM cars from 'back in the day' and he said there was a Yenko camaro, didn't remember what year (67-69) that a kid had...was yellow and black. The best he could remember the car was a 396 450(I think not, but his mind isn't as sharp as it used to be) hp 4 speed car.

There is also a 69 Camaro I remember seeing all the time years ago (5-6-7 years ago) that was labeled as a Yenko, but it was tubbed out, caged, and had a blown 427 in it. Not quite my cup of tea....but I haven't seen that car in atleast 5 years....
