Supercar Photographs
 

I have had an interest in Yenko's and other supercars since I attended the first Super Chevy Sunday in Indy in the early 80's. There were several 69 Yenko Camaros in attendance and I've been interested in them ever since. I enjoy taking pictures when I'm at shows, but I didn't go digital until 2008. I thought I would share with you guys the photos I've taken of Supercars since then. I know most of the cars are real, documented cars, but there are a few I'm not sure about. The owners insisted they were real, but I've never seen the VIN's listed as being known legit cars. I won't list the owners names or the state they're from, but I'll add any info the owners told me about the cars or info that was presented on signboards with the cars. I'll try to add a car every couple of days as I have time. Hopefully you guys enjoy the photos.

#1. This is a well known car that was sold new at Van T. Chevrolet in Mission KS. This was the October 2006 Feature Car on this site and it was also featured in Super Chevy in August of 2004. I believe when this car was first restored it didn't have the original engine, but it has since been found and I believe installed in the car.

#2. This is an early X66 car that was sold new at Gates Chevrolet in Mishawaka, IN. This is a mostly original paint car although the engine compartment appears to have been restored. I believe this is the car that Bill Hunter bought new, blew the engine, returned to the dealership, and exchanged for his Daytona Yellow car. Please correct me if I am wrong about that.

Nice, thanks for posting these

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#3. I'm not sure if this is a real COPO car or not. The VIN is N672561 and the body number is NOR104398. The interior code is 711 and the paint code is 69 69 and it is an 08C X44 car with the X11 trim added. This is a 4 speed car with a console. I first saw this car at the Goodguys Show in Columbus in 2006. I do not know of any other documented COPO's with VIN's or body numbers close to this one so I'm guessing it's clone. If anyone knows anything about this car fill free to add what you know.

#5. This COPO Camaro was the 2008 Hemmings Goodguys Muscle Car of the Year and it won gold at the Camaro Nationals that year as well. The VIN is N665210 and it as an automatic car with a column shifter. It was advertised as a numbers matching car with a POP. I do not know which dealer it was sold from, but it was purchased out of KY in the mid 90's.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#6. This is a GM of Canada documented COPO that was sold new at Central Chevrolet/Oldsmobile LTD. in London ON. It has an M21 and is a radio delete car. It was featured in Camaro Performers a few years ago and it was in Art of the Muscle Car. It also won gold at the Chevy Vettefest in 2006. I took these pictures at Muscle Car City in Punta Gorda FL. The collection is in an old Walmart store. There are over 250 GM muscle cars on display. If you're ever in the area it's worth checking out.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#7. This COPO was sold new at Funston Chevrolet in Detroit MI. It was the September 2002 feature car on this site and it was featured in Chevrolet High Performance in the April 2004 issue. It has a 715 blue interior and it is an automatic car with a console. I believe the original engine exists, but it is currently running a ZL-1 and terrorizing the Factory Stock racing series. It has run as fast as 11.50's in Factory Stock trim.

X44 with the Endura bumper. Nice! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Why is the chin spoiler on there by itself? Are there two trunk lids for this car? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

I'm not sure what happened to the rear spoiler. Sometime between 2009 and 2012 the rear spoiler was taken off. I know the car was stolen and a ransom paid to get it back sometime between those years. They may have repainted it when they got it back and took the spoiler off for whatever reason.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#8. This Deuce was sold new at Mancuso in Skokie IL. This is the Nova that was sold on E-Bay several years ago. I believe they have the original window sticker for it. This is a 4 speed car and runs 12.70's in Factory Stock trim. I believe this Nova was repainted years ago, but the stripes were just reapplied recently.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#11. This is ZL-1 #47 and order number 42. It was sold new in Minnesota. It is an automatic car and it does not have it's original engine. The current owner bought it back in the mid 80's. It is an original sheet metal car that was restored in the 80's. The owner said years ago he was thinking about trading this car to Ed Cuneen for a tubbed ZL-1 that Ed had but decided to keep this car.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#12. This COPO Camaro is the highest VIN car currently in the registry. It is documented with some original dealer paperwork and was sold new at Ferris Chevrolet in New Philadelphia OH. It is a 4 speed car and has the original engine and rear end. It has a code 715 blue interior and has around 20K miles on it. The owner has the full ownership history on the car.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#13. This Camaro is 660826 on the registry and is supposedly certified by Jerry M. It has a later Yenko ZL-1 block in it and it is a 4 speed car. From what I could gather Yenko cast these aluminum blocks from approximately 1975 to 1987. It has a 140 mph speedo but otherwise doesn't appear to be a 9737 car. I don't know who the original selling dealer is on this one. The closest order numbers are Malcom Konner cars that are about 100 digits away. If anybody knows more about this car feel free to add what you know.

#14. This is a Canadian documented COPO Camaro. The VIN is N661300 and the order number is 351473. This is a 21K mile automatic car and was advertised as being numbers matching. This is also an X44D80 car.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

#15. This Yenko Camaro is N615382 and order number 219743. It is an 03B car that was sold new at Francis in Bridgeton MO. It was advertised as having just 5.5K miles. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of the trim tag, because it showed this car was an X66 car. It's my understanding that only 01B Yenkos were X66 cars and the 02D and later Yenkos were X44 and X11 cars. I'm assuming the tag is a reproduction since the order number is for an 03B Yenko. The tail panel was also blacked out on this car.

VIN # 124379N615382
Cool car but what details of this VIN are noted here in the registry?
Sorry if incorrect but best clarify, is this not one of two cars known w/ the same VIN and if so which one is it?

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

This car was previously owned by Keith Hutson and was one of the five Yenko's he sold at Mecum in Chicago back in 2005. All 5 were bought by the same person and he has since sold off at least 4 of them. These pictures were taken at the Auburn Fall Auction in 2011. This car was also at a number of Mecum auctions in 2013 and I believe it sold at Mecum Dallas. I do not know if the hidden VIN's match the VIN tag. With the amount of money this car supposedly sold for, I would hope the hidden VIN's matched. I've heard there was an ex race car whose hidden VIN's matched this VIN, but I don't know if that is true.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Sorry about that. In the Musclecar Review article they said it was a 400 Turbo Trans. I assumed the owner filled out a tech sheet on the car for the feature.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Myron,

Your doing a great job with your pictures....keep up the Great Work.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Does anybody know if there were any articles about the '74 when it first got it's Nickey conversion?

#21. This 68 Yenko Camaro is YS8011 and was sold new at Jay Kline in Minneapolis MN. It is known as the Desert Rat and was restored by Rick Nelson and his crew. It made it's debut at MCACN in 2011. It has to be one of the nicest 68 Yenkos I've ever seen.

Re: Supercar Photographs
 

Was this car restored by BKH? If so, it was built about 20 cars or so before mine, also an X11D80 car.

Not restored by SCW..BKH
