Here are some digi's of Gary and Robin Holub's Yenko Camaros that were on display last month at the GM Show in Carlisle, PA. It was a rare chance to see one of the Olympic Gold cars in person.

Hi Charlie;
Somehow I failed to take a digi-pic of the F-Green Yenko Camaro, only a normal photo! Of course I also really like the Fathom Green color, (now if I could just find a '69 Yenko Nova in F-Green!). As you can see Holub likes vinyl tops and automatics!

The 'champagne' colored car is Olympic Gold in '69. There were 10 Yenko Camaros produced in this color, all were 4speeds without vinyl tops or power steering. They have survived fairly well, I think there are 6-7 of them existing at this time.

John;
To our knowledge, there were no Olympic Gold '69 Yenko Novas. There appears to be only 4 colors available for the '69 Yenko Novas; Fathom Green, Rallye Green, Lemans Blue, and Garnet Red. It is unknown how many of each were produced, but they were predominately black, vinyl, standard interior cars with bench seats and 4speeds.

I don't know why you couldn't view the pics on the post, I emailed the Olympic Gold pic to you.

What is the sentimental reason for the O-Gold color?? Did you used to own one? (R.Welch car??)

This particular O-Gold car was originally sold out of Jack Douglas Chev. in Hinsdale, IL.

Marlin,

I was lucky enough to "discover" the car back in '94. Called Mick Price who verified the vin#. After purchasing the car or as Mick said "stole it from the guy", I started collecting parts, and somewhere along the way, made the decision to sell it. I offered it to Mick Price. Mick sold it to Gary Holub, who had the car restored to the condition it is in today.
Thanks again for the picture.

Kent;
When you found this car was there any evidence of the original stripe color? I was wondering if the O-Gold cars came with both black or white stripes.

Where/how did you find this one?

Marlin,

When I found the car, all the Yenko emblems were missing (believed stolen), but the outlines were still visible on the original paint. There were no stripes on the car, and no visible outlines from them either. Which led me to believe, that the original owner removed them shortly after purchasing the car. The only trace of the stripes that I found, was a small section from a black stripe that was wrapped around the front edge of the drivers door (which I still have).
