Found my 69 Yenko, 649313

[NoYenko]

Back in 1983 I sold a yellow 69 Yenko Camaro,649313. I have been trying to find out what happened to it, hoping the guy I sold it to still had it and would sell it back to me. Just dreaming, I sold it for $9000 for home down payment. In a recent post I see it sold at Russo & Steele for approx. $230K. I was looking thru some old photo boxes and came across some pictures I thought I’d share. I am embarrassed to show the side stripe pictures, that is all my budget and artistic talent could do at time. If I remember the stripes were available but very very expensive.
The car did not have a hood stripe, side stripes, or headrest markings when I bought it. It did have one Yenko emblem on the back that I & Barry Hampton sent to Japan to be reproduced. I put the repro emblems on the fenders and I believe the fender holes were drilled already. It didn't have any 427 emblems while I had it. It was an all original drive train car & I think the interior was all original also. I bought it from a struggling student that had pulled the 427 and installed a 327 so he could afford to drive it. Today I see it didn't have the curved neck radiator but overall it was fairly original under the hood. I am pretty sure it had a 140 mph speedo and I installed a factory 4 speaker AM-FM.
Here are the pictures I found and I have some other Yenko pictures I’ll post also.George.

Where those pictures taken inside the old Classic Motors/Bill Jacobs in Joliet, or was that Downers Grove by then?

Cool pictures thanks for sharing.

Those pictures were taken at Classic Motors in Joliet, I guessing 1982.
The Blue VIN sticker, I may have gotten from Barry Hampton, I now know that would be 3 months premature for it to have it. I learn something new every 30 years. George

Very cool George. Looks a little better than my Z when my younger brother drug it home with the engine removed in 1975. Ducted hood was mia, but you can still see the white stripes on the cowl vent panel.

The second pic is the Mini-Brute "muscle car" I traded for the Z in 1976.

Lynn, in 1976 I would say your brother got the better end of the trade, but today it sounds like you made out better. Any progress pictures of your car sounds like you are getting closer. George
