It was nice to meet you as well. By the time I got with him, he said he had talked with you.

This one isn't one of my &quot;barn finds&quot; though. This is a running, driving car that has just been out of the spotlight for a while.

Thanks again,
Ryan

1968 style 427 emblems , they were used on some 69 Yenko Chevelles but normally the 69 Y Camaros had the 427 with the bar

This is a good &quot;learning&quot; car - since we have the original owner to speak to the facts:

1. Center fuel gauge means tach was OE - but two panel SW gauge - why not 3 panel?

2. This car is VIN 12437N681343. It's a later (09A) build. The body number is 107791. Since Yenko ordered cars in a batch - were all late cars assigned body numbers after the roll over?

Neat car - not being critical - just learning &amp; observing. maybe one of the experts can chime in &amp; the owner can contribute.

should be 124379N681343 - typo on the 9.

I know the car and never thought he'd sell it. It maybe the last Original Owner 69 Yenko Camaro .

I think he enjoys the car too much to sell it. It is not the last one owner Yenko Camaro that exists, there are still a few more of them out there!
A great car and story, certainly worth more than $ 200k.

Bill from Arizona still has his Daytona Yellow car. He got it as a &quot;warranty&quot; replacement from the dealer after the he blew up the motor in a Le Mans Blue one after about three days of ownership.

I believe Bill's first Camaro was Hugger Orange, maybe still owned by Mick Price.

Several original owners still have their cars.

I'll never forget when I first met Bill with his yellow Yenko Camaro at one of the Yenko Reunions years ago. He gave me his original paperwork to make copies at Kinkos. He had the original invoice for the orange car he had first bought at Gates in Indiana. He also had the Gates $150 trade in document for his return of the orange Yenko Camaro and purchase of the yellow Yenko Camaro which he still owns. He said the orange car started knocking at 140! Not exactly a gentle break in for that car!
The best part of the day was when Mick showed up with the orange Yenko Camaro that Bill bought new. He must be the only original owner who bought 2 new Yenko Camaros in '69.

I was lucky to be at that same reunion where I met you, Mark. You referred me to Warren D &amp; he had 5 pages of orig Yenko dealership document's for my car....extreemly helpful since the vin was incorrectly listed on Donna Mae's handwritten list. Grateful for that and your help &amp; guidance on N616128 you gave me as well [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
