Ok, time to fess up. As most of
you know, I was late getting the September page up, and didn't get the
write-up on until just now, some 2 months later. I had it in hand, but
put it off for a day, which turned into a week, and it snow balled from
there. Procrastination at it's best, or worst, depending on how you look
at it. What's bad is, this could quite possibly be my favorite color
combo of any of the Yenko Camaros, as it's hard enough to argue with the
Hugger Orange and white stripe combo, but throw in the endura bumper and it
just about seals the deal. Anyway, without further ado, here's the
scoop on Mark's Camaro:
"I found this Yenko for sale on
your web site last winter. I decided to buy it after wasting a year trying to
buy Yenko Chevelles. I dont regret buying another Yenko Camaro. This car was
part of Otis Chandlers collection, later Kevin Sudam's collection. Options
include; Endura bumper, power steering, and M-21 4-spd. The car has 38,000
original miles and does have the original engine. I added the chrome
Torque Thrust wheels. I drive both my Yenko's... a little bit. Went to a
local cruise-in. The most asked question was "is it real". The
car was sold new at Stauffer Chevy in Scranton, Pa. I think they sold
about 10 1969 Yenko Camaro's."
