The Phase 3 car turned out killer.

[Xplantdad]

Do ya have any pics Charley?

[COPO_Anders]

Was this a GM-only event ? I´m asking because a friend got a preview of a blue -68 Barracuda with a "prototype" Hemi-engine in Texas a few weeks ago. It had orange valvecovers and no visible ignitioncables. They said it was a 9-second car that would be debuted at Carlisle, but I have only seen the pictures my friend took so far. It supposedly slipped out the backdoor from Chrysler.

The car you're talking about was Tom Hoover's (The engineer "father" of the 426 hemi) It was originally his 69 440 barracuda. It now has one of the prototype 1972 ball stud hemi engines. This engine was supposed to be the smog-era replacement for the 426 hemi if it survived the 1971 model year. Sadly it did not. The design used a semi-hemi (a la chevy big block) type valve train with the spark plugs in a more conventional location. I don't think it is currently a 9-second car in its present configuration (the car may have been in the past) and I doubt anyone is going to run it as it has the only running version of that engine ever made. The engine itself was purchased from Dick Landy and took a bunch of custom work to make it operational. It was installed in Hoover's old 69 as something of a tribute to him as the engineer that is really credited with getting the 426 Hemi into production. The 69 Barracuda was Hoover's own car and a pre-production test bed for Chrysler performance parts for many years. It will be at the July Chryslers at Carlisle event (and so will I http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

[COPO_Anders]

That sounds correct Steve. My friend did buy an unrestored 1969 GTX, but he´s not a musclecar-guy. He understood the car was special, but couldn´t tell me any details about it. They were told that Chrysler had claimed to get the engine back, but a deal had been worked out with other parts involved.

[KENNY_PASCOE]

STILL NO PICTURES ??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[Charley Lillard]

I have a few pics but was layed over in D.C for 7 hours because of all the rain. I got home here at 6:30 am eastern time. Highlight for me was looking over closely the blue Yenko that Supercar workshop did. Joe and Brian absolutely study these cars and it is a treat to see a fresh resto come out of their shop. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/211032-P1010034.JPG

Really neat one owner 67 Camaro for sale. Black, 4 speed 327 car with 40K orig miles and very very untouched under the hood. http://www.yenko.net/attachments/211038-P1010051.JPG

[bkhpah]

Thanks for the kind words Charlie, We all really enjoy showing the car. The owner Dave is a great guy and is very proud of it. The car was done about 4 years ago...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Charley Lillard]

Car has orig tires, hoses, plug wires, hose clamps, wrong engine decal on air cleaner that appears to have been put on new. Odd thing was GM logo on heater hose like a 69. Plenty of little dings etc and some rust around the rear wheel lips but what a cool car to study. Owned by a famous commercial artist in New York. He ordered it new. Wood wheel, 4 speed, clock on trans tunnel and a fold down seat.

[bkhpah]

Really was a great Camaro http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif to learn from. This is the kind of car that can help make the next generation of Camaro restorations even better...BKH

The concept car looks alot better in person than in photos, but that rear treatment still can't compete with the perfect lines of the 69...

Wayne Schmeekle (sp.?) had some cool cars on display too, including this gold Berger COPO. I had the opportunity to meet Wayne on Saturday, a really nice guy! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

New "Motion" car. This one is a Phase III, and IMO it's alot more tasteful than the one they had at SEMA, lacking the scoops and spinners,etc. Joel and Marty were also there, signing autographs and answering questions...

[camarojoe]

Very cool LS5 1-owner 70 Elco... loaded with options. The owner is semi-local to me, and a cool guy. he told me a story about removing the tailgate panel and filling it with cloth bank bags loaded with 150lbs of lead shot, making the car plant hard. He said it often ran with LS6 cars by pulling them off the line by 2 or 3 carlengths while they went up in smoke... According to him, it took a long time for anyone to figure out what he was doing... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

I missed seeing anyone from the site while I was there (I did bump into Charlie at the Sunnyside Fri. evening). I had planned to set up at my space Sat. but the forecast was too scary, and the sky looked like it, so I never unloaded a thing. My space neighbor brought a Nova for sale, but didn't really set up and he wasn't there much at all. Guess I can't blame him. Plans are already in the works for next year (weather permitting, of course) for 4-6 spaces with a vast uncovering of 30 year collections of '55-'72 VERY neat stuff.
I got to see Bob's old Nassau Blue Belair and it's still looking good! By the way Bob, I talked to Don Fezzel about SCR9 and he just might be willing to bring one of the Z-11s. (He now owns FOUR). I told him I'd send you his number so you can contact him.
And thanks to CamaroJoe for the blurry distant photo of me lurking in bldg T behind all those super cars....
Hope to meet more of you next year... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[68ys8030]

hey charlie,
Here you are still talking about that original paint 67.
It was still for sale when i left like 3:15 or so on sunday. What a nice old car. Its funny how the simple old unrestored cars impress us as much as the rare restored ones.
you just dont see them very often. see ya! steve keech

[Mr70]

I've always felt that the unrestored or "lightly used" vintage vehicles should be as welcomed at Carshow gatherings as much as the frame off restored are today.
Seeing so Many great detailed restored cars can take a slight toll on oneself,and they begin to seem all the same as the hours go by sometimes.
When you then suddenly walk upon a unrestored or "lightly used" vintage vehicle in that same scenario,you begin to see the details on both clearer,and respect & appreciate them both moreso then ever before.
Great Pix.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Charley Lillard]

Yeah that 67 got to me...There had been no fluffing going on to ready that car for the car for sale area. It was the nephew of the owner selling it and he knew nothing about old cars. He changed the orig fan belt because he was afraid it would come off. He put it in the trunk. Most of the time you see nice fresh bright orange paint under the hood to make it look more saleable looking.

Wow...I learn something new every day here...I've never seen a clock mounted that way in a Camaro before. I'm so used to seeing the console there.

This has to be a pretty rare option...?

That was available as an RPO U-35,of which 13,185 Camaros received or as a Dealer installed Accessory #993581.

That's Steve's new 12 Turbo, Nitrous injected Aluminum block 672, full tube chassis, custom 1-off Skylark called the Bu-minator.

j/k. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Actually it was a nice stock restored Buick in the next spot over. Not sure who the owner was.

[JTH74]

Awesome car, and a awesome resto! Charley are those original Atlas wheels on that Yenko, it looks to be. You have any better pics of the wheels?

Although I've only seen pictures of the new Motion cars, I would have to agree that this one is much nicer than the Camaro that was shown at the SEMA show. IMO that SEMA car was just too over the top and not reminiscent of the cars from the '60's.
