#108. This COPO Camaro was sold new at Queen City in Cincinnati OH and is VIN N666906. It was raced as "Hoosier Hell" and supposedly never street driven. It is an M22 car and was advertised as having all original sheet metal and it's original POP.

Is/was that "Adcock Brothers" car, owned by the Manheim PA "Adcock Brothers"?

I believe the Adcock brothers were from Indiana. They used to show up at the Super Chevy Show in Indy every year with a different Camaro. Off hand the one's I remember were a Tuxedo Black 69 Z/28 with red stripes, a Daytona Yellow 69 Yenko Camaro with a black top and stripes, a Hugger Orange Canadian COPO Camaro, a Cortez Silver 69 Z/28 and a Nevada Silver 71 Z/28. They had the Hugger Orange X22 COPO at the Chevy Vette Fest in Chicago. I believe their names were Bob and Larry, but I haven't seen them in 5 or 6 years.

Thanks. They are different guys. The Adcocks I know are car guys, but not necessarily "classic" car guys. They have quite an operation at Manheim, PA and own another car auction, too. Many years ago, they did have a green HemiCuda at Atlantic City that sold for $47K (if my memory isn't failing) and jaws hit the floor! Nobody thought that green car with a 1/4 panel replaced would sell for that much.......oh, the good old days!

The Adcock brothers of Indiana did have quite a few cars, the silver Z28 was Al Maynards JL8 RS car, LA built, many options, 138k miles, '73 dated block. We found the build-sheet when it was at the detail shop locally. It later sold at Barrett as a numbers matching 38k mile car for $ 185k or so. There was a white Copo/red interior for sale in Ohio years ago, it had a sunroof, wonder if it was this queen city Copo?

I believe this car was for sale on the Nickey website at one point as well.

#110. This is ZL-1 #55 and it was sold new at Whitt in Fayetteville AR. It is 1 of 2 RS ZL-1's and has less than 8K miles. It is unrestored and has both it's original block and it's warranty replacement block. It is also documented with it's original POP. This is the very first ZL-1 Camaro I ever saw when it was featured in the September 1982 issue of Super Chevy around the time they released the VIN list for the ZL-1 Camaro's. It was also featured in the March 1991 issue of Car Craft and the October 1991 issue of Musclecar Classics when it was owned by Otis Chandler. It was later sold as a part of Dave Christenholz's collection.

I found that car in Feb of 2001 in downtown Pittsburgh. Need to dig out my notes...

mrays

12-31-2014, 02:14 AM

At one point in time I had pictures of the trim tag and some of the original paperwork for that car. I don't have my handwritten notes from when I saw the car since I have since added them to my spread sheet. I may have transposed or miss read a number at some point. I still have the auction add for this car and it was advertised as a Marshall sold car and there was a picture of the paperwork to back that up. It was also advertised as having a restamped block, but the original transmission and rearend. The picture is from Mecum Indy in 2008 and it was advertised as having an older restoration and having been freshened up by Camaro Specialties. Let me know what you find in your notes, or what you don't agree with. I am pretty sure that this car was later brokered by Nickey and there were a bunch of photos on their website of it. This is a 4 speed car and it had the dealer installed headers.

#112. This Yenko Chevelle was sold new by V.V. Cooke in Louisville KY. This is a 4 speed car with bucket seats and no console and is documented with an original build sheet. It was featured in the February 1993 issues of Popular Hot Rodding and Muscle Car Review when it was owned by Randy Miller. It was part of Dave Christenholz's collection and is now in the Brothers Collection.

Original paperwork would be interesting, as I have my doubts that Marshall actually sold the car - I know the inventory sheet says Marshall but I believe that car was sent back to Yenko and was sold into OH. It eventually came back to PA in '98 or '99 via a used car dealer (Rossi Motors?) - essentially as a pro street car that was tubbed, tied, and caged with a 468, a TH400, and a 9" with 4.86's. Car had a Harwood carbon fiber hood, race buckets and was for sale. I passed but a machinist in NY went to Pittsburgh and bought it. He eventually decided it was not what he wanted and he sold it - reportedly to someone in Canada. I lost track of it and never realized that it had reemerged!

mrays

12-31-2014, 09:57 PM

Stefano had this car advertised in the for sale section of this site in July of 2008 and there he said it had a lot of original paperwork and was sold by Yenko. I don't know how to link that, but he only had pictures of the car and the engine compartment. There were a bunch of pictures on the old Nickey site but they are no longer there. I did find my notes from when it was on the Nickey site and I wrote down the trim tag information. What I have is NOR219759, 711 76 76, 03B X44. It also said the original owner was known and that Bob Harris at Camaro Specialties had the car at some point. I'm not sure if he restored it, or just freshened it up later.

#113. This Yenko Nova is W467756 and was sold new at Yenko. I believe this car was formerly owned by Randy Miller and Dan Cupido. There are photos of it in the February 1993 issues of Popular Hot Rodding and Muscle Car Review when Randy Miller owned it along with his Garnet Red Yenko Chevelle from above and Daytona Yellow Yenko Camaro. It was also featured in Bob McClurg's Yenko book when Dan Cupido owned it. Cliff Ernst used to have an identical car to this as well. I'm not sure if he still owns his or not.

Dan's Yenko Nova spent a fair amount of time in Western Maryland when new and then migrated to Eastern Maryland before coming back to PA before being discovered. It was great to see this car racing at one of the SCR's!

Yes, Cliff still has his FG Yenko Nova.

YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY

Dug up my notes on this '69 Yenko Nova. Car was 'found' in 1986 by a guy in St Paul, MN (not Vince E.), who tracked it down because he knew it was a Yenko. The car was in Beaverdale, PA at that time and was painted maroon,owner was Richard S (1981-1986 est) who bought it from his friend John M for $1,000. John M bought from ? for $100 somewhere around '75 est.

We estimate that the car had come into PA sometime between '74 and '75, but since the car was found we didn't really do a lot of digging with the PA DMV. The car appears to have spent its early life in MD, beginning in Cumberland, MD in '72 and then migrated all the way to eastern MD - Elkton in Cecil County to be exact - in '73 to a guy named Freddie (who might have been a car dealer), before it ended up in PA. Somewhere along the way I think it got an R title in MD (not in PA), but I can't find those notes.

PS: just found my additional notes, I hadn't filed them yet. Here's the general ownership history as I've researched:

5/27/70 - Charles K in Lavale, MD, could have been the orig owner, he financed $1,927.
8/12/71 - Walter H in Cumberland, MD, pays $2,250 but finances $3,119 (must have rolled in another loan).
8/04/72 - James S in Cumberland, MD, pays ?
11/26/73 - Freddie F in Elkton, MD, pays $1,200
4/01/74 - title is reassigned by Freddie, typically only done by dealers. This is also the same date that Freddie files a formal 'Request to Waive Inspection Prior to Re-Building a Motor Vehicle'. So, one could speculate that Freddie is a used car dealer who bought a wreck, theft or flood vehicle from western MD and rebuilt it for resale at his place in eastern MD. Car then goes to PA.
10/17/75 - John M in PA
1981 - 1986 Richard S in Beaverdale, PA
1986 - went to MN, and eventually to Mike Miller in NC then to Danny in Canada.

#116. This is 1 of 2 Dover White Douglass Yenko Camaros. This one is N649011 and is an 05D car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all of the Douglass ordered Yenkos are 05D cars. This car has a CE block, but it's original transmission and rear end. I remember seeing this car at the Super Chevy at Joliet when J. Platania owned it back 2003 or so. A number of people thought it was a clone because it was white. Most people back then didn't know what a Douglass ordered Yenko was.

If the car would have been the "Rats Nest" from new, it may have been a consideration. But the fact it was a Fred Gibb/Dick Harrell super tuned 396 COPO Nova outweighed its racing configuration to the owner. It could always be returned to the Rats Nest..BKH

#121. This Yenko Camaro is N613347 and was sold new at Marshall Chevrolet in Reading PA. According to the display board this is a low mileage car with it's original engine and rear end. I believe this one was restored by Camaro Specialties. I heard this one was pretty rough before the restoration so it looks like they did a great job of repairing and restoring this one.

#613347 has a much, MUCH bigger & better story behind it! It's a real car, with the original engine and rear, but the car itself had quite a life. This is known as 'Auggies Car', and I know the whole story is on a thread here somewhere - it's worth the read! Auggie finally got all of the pertinent parts of the car back together, sold it and retired - good for him. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

The fire on the way to Super Chevy happened I want to say in 1988. I think the resto was around 1990 maybe? I didn't write any dates on my pictures but it's in the ball park

The Black 67 Yenko Camaro was Jim Parks'. The Hugger Orange ZL-1 was probably Dick Hubbard's or Milt Robson's. I'm not sure who owned the LeMans Blue RS ZL-1 at the time, but that was probably before it went to Otis Chandler.

That's the #7 ZL1 N608613 raced out of Dale Chevrolet as 'L'il Brother Hugger." I found both car and engine in the '80s but couldn't put them together and passed it along to Jim. Very well done car.

#122. This 69 Yenko Camaro was on display at The Mecum Auction in Indianapolis and will be auctioned at their Seattle auction. It is N579518 and was sold new at Joseph Chevrolet in Cincinnati OH. It has it's original drivetrain and has 20K miles. This is one of the first Yenkos I ever saw in person when it was at the Super Chevy Sunday at Indianapolis in 1982. Jerry Buczkowski's LeMans Blue 69 Yenko Camaro was also there that year. Coincidentally that car was just featured in Muscle Car Review with 2 other Yenkos. This Hugger Orange Camaro was featured in the December 1982 issue of Super Chevy. It was also featured in Chevy Rumble several years ago when Irwin Krois owned it. At that time it had white stripes.

This is N644119 and was sold new at Roger Dean in Charleston WV. According to the description it is a 17K mile ex drag car that was in storage from 1978 to 2002 and recently restored. The complete history is known and it was certified by J.M. It has a replacement block and it's original BE rearend. There was no mention about the transmission.

I believe the same person had both of these Chevelles restored and I believe the same person bought both of them at the auction. There was also GM of Canada documentation with this car. I believe it was sold new at B & A in Toronto ON. There were pictures of the hidden VINs on the firewall and all the drivetrain stampings. The write up on this one said the fenders, hood, doors, trunk lid and floors were original GM sheet metal and the full inner and outer quarters were replacement sheet metal. The write up also said the drivetrain was numbers matching, but it did not say it was original to the car. It is a good looking car and sold for $150K.

I was at the Goodguys show in Columbus OH this past weekend and there were several supercars in attendance. I've posted photos of the Rupp's 69 Yenko Chevelle before when it was at MCACN in 2013. Here is a better photo of it outside in the sun. I talked to Mark for a while and he gave me a nice poster of the car. I need to get it framed so I can hang it in my office. This car was sold new at Hugh White in Columbus OH.

#126. This well known 69 Yenko Nova was sold out of V.V. Cooke Chevrolet in Louisville KY. Randy Miller had this car restored in the mid 90's and at that time it was featured in the October 1996 issue of Muscle Car Review. Kevin Hand owned it for awhile and it eventually ended up in David Nicholl's collection before it was seized by the feds and sold at a government auction. It is currently in the Dennis Albaugh collection. It was at the Goodguys Columbus show this past weekend where it was the Hemmings Muscle Car of the Year finalist. I talked with one of the guys who brought it to the show and he said they are working on correcting some of the incorrect things with the car. He also said they received very little documentation with the car and are looking to contact some of the previous owners to see if they can get some more documentation and information on the car. A question that came up during our conversation was how many of the known 69 Yenko Novas actually have documentation from Yenko showing they were 427 transplant cars.

#129. This is ZL-1 #18 and it was sold new at Tamson Chevrolet in Danville VA. This is a 17K mile car and it still has it's original engine. This car was originally restored by Bob Porter in the late '80's and was the grand prize in a raffle by the U.S. Camaro Club in 1993. The car was restored again by D. Tinnell and eventually ended up with C. Comer. This car sold for $800K in 2005 at the Mecum auction in Chicago and has been in the B. Torino collection since then. It doesn't look quite at good as it did in 2005, but it is still a very nice car.

#122. This is 1 of 2 Citrus Green Yenko Deuces that was sold at Sam Leman Chevrolet in Roanoke IL. It is a numbers matching 4 speed car with power steering. It is freshly restored and was unveiled at MCACN. Surprisingly Roanoke is a small town of about 2K people in central IL that is surrounded by cornfields. At one time the old Sam Leman dealership building was owned by the Gastman's, who own Roanoke Motors which is a Chrysler dealership on the outskirts of town, and they stored some of their musclecars in it. I remember seeing a 68 Hemi Road Runner and a 70 Challenger T/A among others through the windows.

I have a correction on car #127 above. The Bob McDorman car is very similar to this car and currently resides in IA. It is an M22 car and only has 311 miles. The above car at MCACN is an M21 car that I believe is from Prout in Elyria OH.

Why are guys so afraid to run the mags these cars originally came with? Everyone is so worried someone will critize them for running old school wheels or Gosh worse yet, make it look like a knuckle dragger street machine. Idiots!!!!!!!!!!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mrays</div><div class="ubbcode-body">#129. This 69 Camaro SS is a Baldwin Motion car.

It was restored by Legendary Motorcars and then purchased by Ron Pratt. It was bought back by Legendary at Barrett Jackson in 2015 and is now a part of their collection.

There are a ton of pictures of this car on Legendary's website. There is an invoice from Baldwin Auto Company on their website showing all the optional equipment on the car. It lists Rally wheels, 454 LS-7, 4.88 H.D. gears and traction bars among other things as optional equipment and accessories. If it was originally delivered with other wheels they would have been noted on the invoice. I don't normally list a car's VIN, but this car was sold at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale in 2015 so the VIN is public knowledge. It is 124379N709326. Since the invoice with the Motion upgrades is through Baldwin that would lead me to believe it was bought new off the Baldwin lot with the Motion upgrades and indeed a Baldwin Motion car as opposed to a car that was bought somewhere else and upgraded at Motion later.

Thanks Myron, certainly a late build car and probably a "10E" tag. Would look better with some "SS" mags, and surprised the owner did not go for that upgrade given all the other options on the car, but perhaps cheaper to put some on himself on Day 2. I seriously doubt the car rode around on rally wheels for very long back in the day. Love all the pictures you post. Some amazing cars.

#130. This 70 Yenko Deuce is YS #7 and was sold new at Dick Watson in Williamston MI. It appears to be an older restoration and was bid to $100K but didn't sell. I have in my notes that it does not have it's original engine. I'm not sure about the transmission and rearend.

#131. This Yenko Chevelle is B406668 and was sold new at Grossman Chevrolet in Minneapolis MN. It was bid to $225K but didn't sell. I do not know how much of the drivetrain is original to the car. I believe this Chevelle was owned by Don Stowers back in the early 90's and was featured in several magazines. It didn't have a vinyl top back then, but according to the trim tag it is an original vinyl top car.

#132. This 69 Chevelle COPO was sold new at the Westminster Motor Company in Westminster MD. This is a - special paint car with a E Parchment top. According to the registry this car was originally Riverside Gold, but now it appears to be Matador Red. Maybe it's just the lighting, but it sure didn't look like Garnet Red to me. There wasn't any documentation with the car so I don't know what color this car was originally. Anyway it has a Parchment and black interior and is a radio delete car. There was no mention of how much of the drivetrain was original to the car either. I believe this car was previously owned by several members here so maybe they can chime in with some more information on it. At the auction this car was rear ended by a large 4x4 also out of the Ken Lingenfelter collection and the trunk lid ended up with a large dent. I believe this car sold for around $150K, but this car disappeared off the Mecum website so no results are provided.

Yes, it is N664141. Sorry the trim tag picture isn't more clear. It looked good on my camera screen, but isn't quite as sharp looking at it on a computer screen. The body number is NOR352677 and it is an 06A car. If I remember correctly there was a lot of paint on it and it was kind of hard to read to begin with.

The red copo chevelle on page 38 was indeed originally corvette gold. It does have the original motor and rear. The trans is a M22 but not the original vin. The color on the car is cranberry red because despite the fact that it was a paint delete I just couldn't bring myself to replace the gold and I didn't like the garnet red either. I probably wouldn't change the color if I was doing it today but they were a lot cheaper and easier to come by in those days. This same car is going through Mecum's Chicago auction soon.

The green Duece on this last page did come through Rantoul. When I bought it was all apart from a man that had gone blind. I think his name was Mark McDonald but I didn't think he was the second owner. Might have been though. I sold the car to Joe Grom(sp?)

earntaz

09-24-2016, 09:20 PM

Yep -- knew Mark well ... was a good friend. He had diabetes and did in fact go blind from it. At some point he blew the engine and Dave Kohler (Kohler Fuel Injection – Urbana, Il.) built a 377 for the Deuce – not sure if any original block parts were used. I’m not certain, but I think Mark was the second owner – could be off on this though. During this time period there were three Deuces in Rantoul – Marks, a red one that belong to a female, and my Cortez Silver (brought it down from Wisconsin) and it is in Washington State last I heard.

Here are some more pictures of this 69 COPO Camaro N665210. I first saw it at the Super Chevy Show in Indy in 2008 where it was in the Gold Class. It was also the Good Guys Muscle Car of the year. According to the reproduction window sticker it was sold new at Queen City in Cincinnati OH. It was advertised as a documented car, but I saw no documentation on display with it. I'm sorry the photo of the trim tag isn't clearer. It was bid to $150K but didn't sell.

#136 This 68 Yenko Camaro RS/SS is YS8027 and is known as the "England Barnfind". When this car was found in 2008 it had 25K miles and was missing it's engine and transmission. Charlie owned it before is was restored by Level One in Colorado. Phil M. had it at MCACN in 2016. There are 7 Matador Red with black vinyl top RS/SS cars that I know of and all of them are 06C cars. I have the body numbers for 4 of these cars and they are all within 10 body numbers of each other. There are some missing YS numbers in the range of these cars as well so there may still be 3 of these Matador Red cars out there.

#137 Here is Grady's 69 COPO Camaro N687908. It was purchased from Williams Chevrolet in Lebanon PA. It currently has an L88 backed by the original TH400 and a BE rear. This is one of the best Day 2 cars out there. It was featured in the December '17 issue of Musclecar Review. These pictures are from MCACN in 2016. The cars were parked too close together and weren't parked at an angle so it was kind of hard to take good pictures of them. I also saw this car at the Goodguys event in Columbus in '19. It was parked indoors with the large 69 Camaro display that year. I talked to Grady for about a half hour or so that day. He pointed out a lot of the cool Day 2 items on this car including the JC Penneys slicks.

#138 This is Kevin DeWitte's original owner Berger COPO car. I believe there were roughly 40 iron block COPO's delivered to Berger along with 1 ZL-1. There were 20 02D cars including the ZL-1 along with 10 05C cars and 11 05D cars. They were all 9737 cars as well with the exception of the Ben Wenzell race car. That was a bare bones X44 car with no spoilers or radio. The rest of the Berger cars that I know of were X11 cars. A number of them also had Endura bumpers and some were RS cars as well. This is N647846 and an 05C car. It was featured in the June '87 issue of Car Craft when Carl Dwiggins owned it, the December '92 issue of Musclecar Review when Milt Robson owned it and the August '10 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines when it was back with Kevin. I believe it still has it's original engine and has around 45K miles on it.

Yes, Bill Porterfield owned ZL-1 #3 back in the late '80's early 90's. It is a mostly original car but last I knew didn't have it's original engine. I believe it does have it's original transmission and rearend. It has about 70% of it's original paint. I believe when Bill bought it there was a black stripe painted down the middle of the car that he had removed. This is the third ZL-1 built, but it's body number is over 10K prior to the Gibb ZL-1's.

#159 This 69 Yenko Chevelle is B356260 and was sold new at Friedly Chevy Olds in Cedar Falls IA..

If I may add, Herold Friedley was never a Chevy dealer, it was Olds GMC.

From the very informed members here I learned that Friedley sold four Yenko Chevelles (three of which are alive today) and, I believe, seven Camaros.
Sometime in the spring/summer of 1969 I happened to be across University Ave. from the dealership while a transport was unloading Yenko cars, and later seeing a row of them on the lot.
In 1975 I passed on the chance to buy the Lemans Blue Friedley Chevelle for $2,500 asking. By then it was looking a bit tired.

Thank you for this fine thread!!

I knew Friedly was an Olds dealer. I guess I shouldn't have assumed they were a Chevrolet dealer as well. I know of 3 Chevelles and 4 Camaros from Friedly so I must have several associated with the wrong dealer. I saw the LB Friedly Chevelle B357938 several times at Super Chevy Shows when Tom Billigen owned it. It had been freshly restored at the time.
Which other known Yenko Chevelle from Friedly is still arround? I've also seen two of the Camaros. I saw the LB Friedly Camaro N614579 at the CVF in '03 when they had a large Yenko display. There was a FG Friedly Camaro in the same display that was owned by Carl Stuber at the time. That one was originally owned by Kenneth Arthur Walton and was either N614328 or N614732. Does anyone know for sure which one Carl Stuber had?

Is it Friedly Olds GMC or Friedley Olds GMC? I've seen it spelled both ways?

67since67

02-16-2021, 09:07 PM

I stand corrected on the numbers, I had seven in my head, so three Chevelles and four Camaros, with two surviving Chevelles.
The OO of the LB car is a prominent businessman here and someone told me a while back they know the OO of the white car.

I am attaching Herold Friedley's obituary. I have a feeling his son Randy may have been the inspiration to deal the Yenko cars.
He eventually lost the Olds dealership when a surprise inventory check of new cars came up short. He then moved down the Ave. to a Lincoln/Mercury dealership. The original Olds/GMC dealership building is largely the same, now John Deery Nissan/Mitsubishi/Lincoln.

Supercar related: A co-worker at the time had made arrangements to buy a new Harrell 427 Nova and was all hyped up to go down and get it, until his insurance agent's quote squelched it.
I wish now I had paid more attention to these cars back then.

Thanks again for this great thread!

I believe George Oleskiewicz is the one who restored this car. Bob Cozza had it at MCACN in '18.

#169 This COPO Chevelle is B393881 and was purchased new by T. Innes at Proudt in Elyra OH after being dealer transferred from Rodenfels in Parma Heights OH. This is the only existing Burgundy COPO Chevelle that I know of. This is also an automatic car with buckets and a console. It was restored by John Burlage. Mick Price had it at MCACN in 2018.
