As good as Frank Caliendo impersonating John Madden. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

That Frank TV guy is a frickin' RIOT! His GW Bush sends me rolling on the floor. I heard Madden hates him.

Nice clone BTW.

Speaking of Frank my wife is taking me to see him the saturday for my birthday I cant wait he can almost make a guy piss his pants laughing!

Cool car I was told it was coming up forsale a couple months ago.. They started out asking 90k..pretty steep for a clone! I would think 50k to 60k would be the real money it is suppose to be a very nice car.

Saw it at the Pavillions during auction week. Very well done clone and sounded awesome. I knew I should have asked what they wanted for it.

Just out of curiosity, the original wouldn't have had the curved neck radiator, would it?

...nope...there are other subtle differences as well, but overall a pretty accurate car...

A very nice clone of probably the ultimate 69 Camaro Dealer Supercar in existence. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Here is a picture I took of the BM car at Medowbrook Hall car show back in the 90's Otis Chandler had it there along with a 69 T/A drop top , Yenko SC Nova (you can see the hood up across the ring) also a Hemi Daytona and a Hemi Challanger drop top .When I find the pics I will try to post them. Also the guy standing with the cleaner said that the miirors are off a Mustang because Chevy had no sport mirrors to install

I remember when Tom Johnson sold the real car in Houston at the auction at Autorama. I loved it and what a beast it was. The concrete vibrated when he started it up to move it. I had dad bidding on it but his limit was 25K. I remember Otis picking it up for about 28K. I still have a picture of it from the auction at the lake house and will try to scan it in and post it this weekend.

It looks like a nice tribute car for a reasonable price. I remember the hitch mounts on the front being black though as opposed to his description of chrome.

That's awesome! I was also at Meadowbrook that year. When I approached the Yenko, Otis was keeling down detailing the wheels. I introduced myself and told him how I had been admiring his collection, especially a particular 71 Hemi Cuda Convertible. He then invited me "over the ropes" where he proceeded to give me a personal tour of the Baldwin Motion car, the Yenko and the T/A. I have pictures that I will have to dig up that I shot of him and the cars. A real gentleman and a memory I will never forget.

In fact, if you look in the background, you can see Otis behind the Camaro wearing a denim shirt.

Yes, Mr. Chandler was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He very much loved the history and beauty of American automobiles. He is very much missed. He would often attend the Oldsmobile Nationals with his beautiful ebony black and gold 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 convertible. Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos of such a historic car.

Was it green also, or the black car with white stripe?

I was at the Houston auction as well. (1985 perhaps?) I didn't know the car was there until I heard it start up. The venue wasn't that big and the sound just totally engulfed the structure. I was totally blown away when it entered the arena and I consider myself lucky to have been there. IMO, this car is in the stratosphere of musclecars right along with the Supersnake and some others. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Has it ever been dynoed? Are there any published comments from Joel Rosen regarding the car?

The real one will be at Amelia Island next month along with the Blue '69 BM Chevelle.

Is the black Chevelle the original owner bought still in existence too?
