I don't know Dave, although he sounds like the kind of person I would get along with. What I do know is that is a REAL NICE Camaro he has there and I would sure be proud to own it. Nice ride you have Dave. Congrats on the articles too!

What he said. The questions I asked about the COPO 9737 were just that, questions. I hope that Dave didn't take that the wrong way. If the car is nice enough to get a feature in Hemmings, who cares about some trivial details. It's a magazine, not a points judged show.
Dave, I think your car is great. Keep driving it, so it won't get dusty. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
Mike, while it is great to get compliments, I don't think any of us really need to get stroked, JMHO. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Jeff, very sorry to hear about that. There is NOTHING in this world worse than losing a child.

You are so right. I bet if you asked Bruce or Lynn, they would tell you she is 150%. I have not yet had the opportunity to meet Holly or Lynn yet but they have to be wonderful people.

I would love to meet Dave some day. Sounds like a great hobbiest and collector. That is what we need more of today, hobbiests. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Sure glad I do not get too involved with the Camaro stuff. I know very little about them and that can prove harmful. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

This is a great site for gathering information and sharing a common interest. The old adage "it's not what you say but how you say it" or "treat others as you want to be treated" still holds true. This thread started out innocent enough but quickly turned destructive rather than constructive.

My goal is to share information, educate and assist one another. I am not here to insult someone or there car. If a question is asked I will share my knowledge which may seem helpful to some and offend others (by all means correct me if I'm wrong).

When a car is displayed in a magazine it may come under scrutiny, especially if statements are made that are counter to conventional wisdom. A question came up on the CRG site regarding this car's 9737 equipment and this was my take:
"I am not aware of any 69 camaros that had the 9737, but were not equipped 9560 or 9561 427 engines. However in 1968 all Yenko cars were in fact 9737 copo's and the 427's were installed by Yenko(427 conversion). Some of the cars were never converted and they were 9737 copo's with factory L78's."

By sharing this information, I learned that not all 68 Yenko's were 9737 equipped. This information followed my post.
