I am trying to find some detail pictures of a 68 Yenko Camaro interior, exterior, and under the hood. I have seen the 9 page interview with Don Yenko that showed a few pics of a 68, but I would like something with more details and from different angles (color would be nice). Can anyone help? Maybe a web site link or something would do. If you have pics that could be e-mailed, please send them to [email protected].
Many thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Outstanding information really hit the target. Does anyone know if the tachometers installed in these cars were Stewart Warner or what? I can't really tell for sure.
Thanks again.

The tach and gauges in the 68 Yenko on Legendary's website are SW's.

I wonder what the 1-point deduction at Carlisle was for?

I have seen so many different "versions" of the Yenko cars from 67 to 69. It is truely awesome to see one that is Authentically correct. But, isn't it true that all the Yenko cars were custom ordered/built hence different variations to even the base package? I own 2 Yenko re-creations, one of them with an all aluminum Yenko 496" big block in it. I want to make them cosmetically correct. I know the Yenko aluminum engine was never offered in any Yenko car, but it is a fantastic car with huge torque. Truely an awesome driver. Thanks for all the input.

Jeff,

I would be interested in some of those pictures from Carlisle. I was to busy to take my own. I took the ones on the Camaro Specialties website but don't have any of the car at the show.

Let me know.

Nothing special really. Just a 1969 TA that's missing the top for some guy in California. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Marlin,
Naa I like to be able to travel looking for the hidden gems. Plus my 70 Z is headed out for body and paint soon and I need the time to look for parts.

Did Goldberg get that blue '68 Yenko from you Charley??? I'm hoping he will put it back to original so I can get ahold of a shift boot that I need badly!!! LOLOL

No. That Yenko went thru a couple more owners after me before Goldberg got it. I thought Supercar workshop was doing some work on it so maybe you can bug them for the shift boot.

The car does look great so far. Going to be a show stopper.
