I am in need of your wealth of knowledge to clarify what really belongs on an early (1B) X66 Yenko. Soda blasting is complete, body work has commenced and I am trying to get all of my "ducks in order". My question(s) are...
To my understanding, an X66 car should have a blacked-out rear panel and rear fender louvers. When questioning knowledgeable camaro friends a debate comes up as to whether or not there should be black body sills. Also, taillights should have bright trim but we also have a debate on whether or not bright headlight trim. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif I have been reading through my library of reference books as well as looking at Reunion photos from past years and see a variety of combinations with no firm answer to my question(s). /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Anything you can do to help me do this right would be greatly appreciated. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I have never seen a two tone Yenko. Interesting color combo though, DY & RG. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

Here are a few shot before it went to the soda-blaster. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/318986/yoyenkoFRT.jpg

As is...the car was missing side louvers and black-out rockers...everything else was rather correct.

Don't they have stainless drip rail trim but no wheel well moldings? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Getting confused... Correct me if I am wrong but bright roof rail moldings and front and rear wheel opening moldings were part of the Style Trim Group (RPO Z21). So it appears that some but not all of the RPO Z21 options would be on an X66 car?

Here is what I believe to be the consensus: "Yes" to simulated rear louvers, black body sill and bright taillight (only) accent..."No" to sport striping (over fenders), front and rear wheel opening moldings, bright headlight accents and bright roof drip moldings...and add the black-out rear panel. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

Let me know if that sounds like the proper combination /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif ...and thanx.

Rich,
Sounds like you got it. http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#XnnCodes

But some of the members have previously done all the hard work for us. Great sight with lots of other accurate first gen. reference info.

Rich,

If there was such a thing as a X-22 Yenko, then you would of had the chrome drip moldings and the wheel well moldings.

Check Don Stowers "original" car.. Louvers but no drips and no wheel well moldings
