Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

Greetings: Just visiting the website I came across this post. I own the Fathom Green Yenko that you were referring to. Yes, the cops were always chasing it and it has quite the history here in Cedar Rapids. Gary Holub did own the car, and then I bought it from him. The original owner still lives right down the road from me and him and his wife come over to visit and watch NASCAR, but he has no interest in the car. He has done everything that he set out to do with it. Now he wants to drive the 2002 ZL-1 SUPERCAR! We even took the Yenko to the 50th anniversary with the original owner and wife to the Cordova World Series of Drag Racing and had it on display. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

The internet is fantastic, isn´t it ?
Hearing about a car eighteen years ago, and now I can take a look at it on your homepage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
I like the fathom green cars to. I recently bought a -69 396 SS Chevelle, that I´m going bring back to original specs: fathom green with black vinyl top.

Hey Captain Carl, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Am curious, are the local cops still chasing it, or are they now concentrating on the '02 green machine? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

I love the car! And the stories, I hear about it WOW!!! Yes this is the SAME YENKO that was purchased by KW at Friedly OLDS! Well to make a long story short a fellow gear head , state trooper and Camaro owner was working the local 4 lane hwy that I live on and he saw me doing a U turn in the median one afternoon abot 5pm while I was out "EXERCISING" the YENKO and we sat in the median for 45 minutes talking. Imagine the look on peoples faces as they stared at us. Not much has changed since the early 70's when Kenny had the car! Funny as it is, I wear a YENKO shirt at a local car show and people out of the blue come up to me and say "HEY DID YOU EVER KNOW OF A GREEN YENKO THAT WAS IN CEDAR RAPIDS? I wondere what ever happened to that car?" And now you know the rest of the story. k https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

My brother spent some time chasing Kenny down in some of his other cars......mostly on dirt around Iowa for many years. Funny how alot of the Yenko Camaros seem to have drifted in and out of the late model driver's paths. Much like the engine Anders now has in his car...I think that spent some time in a late model campaigned out of Waterloo by Kastli. That is how Dralle got the motor, VERY SMALL WORLD! Now if I could find one of your car's brothers out of Friedley...............

Racefan !
The ZL-1 engineblock, that my friend Dick bought from Red Dralle, is not in my car. I´ve got the original all iron MO engine for my 9561.

Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

Sorry about that, it really is funny though how I sitting in my living room in Iowa can carry on a conversation with a person around the world from me about parts that.......
never mind. It really IS a small world though! Is the ZL1 block gathering dust or does he have it in something?

Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

Dick sold the block in the late eighties,to someone who put it in a -68 Corvette and claimed that it was a ZL-1 Corvette.

Have we heard that one before ?
I´ve been trying to keep track of it, but I´m guesstimating that there are about ten GM ZL-1 blocks in Sweden so I don´t know who has it now.
