pretty sure i found an undocumented 69 yenko. need help
 
This is a long story, but I'm pretty sure Ive found a 69 yenko. original owner, fathom green car. Gentleman who owned it was a sponsored driver. 744 original miles. numbers matching car with a crated nickey 427 sitting beside it in the garage. It has never left his possession. His elderly wife has it now. I will have an opportunity to see the car in about two weeks. It hasn't left her home since the mid 70's. She will not give me the VIN over the phone. She is understandable secretive about the car as she is elderly and doesn't want to be taken advantage of. I just want to rattle someone's brain who can lead me in the right direction as I try to buy this car. I just have some questions, if someone can lead me to someone who is an authority on them.

Nice first post :-)

Heavy hitter right off the bat.

If you found what you think you have found you need to decide who you can trust and who will own your car before you do :-)

This can go very good in one way, yet so bad in many ways.

Best of luck,

I see you have an OKLA area code. I am in OK and would be glad to help you (or the car) if you aren't too far from Guthrie. I can't afford a Yenko right now, so you don't need to worry about me buying it out from under you. Send me a pm if interested, and I will call you.

I am not near the expert some of the guys on here are, but would be able to at least take a first look to see confirm.

Look here for a list of vin's.

First thing you should do is get the vin, and see if it is on the list.

This sounds exciting. Be careful how much information you give out, i.e. location. Good luck! Keep us posted!

I kept my Oklahoma number as I hate changing things.

If you take pictures, turn your location off before you leave your house. Imbedded in the photo will be the Lat/Long. coordinates that can lead a person right to the car.

I'm calling BS on this post. A Yenko with 744 miles a Nickey Crate motor sitting on the side? Is it April 1st yet?

Reminds me of the story of the guy with the Wi lemans blue Yenko Camaro with something like 100 original miles. The guy also had a "new" Hemi Dart if I'm not mistaken. His Yenko pics he shared were horizontal slivers of generic photos from the internet. Needless to say it was BS, although he did have copies of dealer work orders from the early '70s when he may have actually owned a blue Yenko.
