NEVER before seen 1968 Yenko Camaro with Atlas's
 
This never before seen picture was acquired by my great friend Mark Kickel from the widow of an Atlas employee. Taken July 8th 1968 on Route 19 outside of Canonsburg. The picture shows from left to right Don Yenko, kneeling with wheel is Ken Georgetti who worked at Atlas Foundry, Dominic Esposot owner of Atlas and Jennings Hart, who drove the Yenko truck among other things. This is a very important picture IMO. It shows the first relationship with Yenko and Atlas. Very few pictures of any 1968 Yenko Camaros exist for some reason. If you look close you can see the poor hood fit, what appears to be the Yenko add on spoiler, just because of its somewhat odd shape, and check out that antenna height. I have been told that poor radio reception was a problem with the 68 cars with the fiberglass hood. Enjoy, and thanks to Mark!..BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...9-dsc_0001.jpg

What color is this car believed to be? It almost looks Black which is very, very cool!

Brian, do you think this car has one of Yenko's glass deck lids with molded in spoilers?

It could be Fathom Blue.

Very cool pic Brian - thanks for posting. When I was debating which valve stems I should go with on my wheels, I NEVER considered valve stems like those!

There is a lot to take in on this single photo. The car could IMO be only Fathom Blue of British Green. The only colors in 1968 Yenko used that were dark. Sadly everyone in the picture has passed away except for Dominic who is 90+. Jennings Hart disappeared and was never found and is presumed dead. Since the car has no front spoiler I would guess that the rear spoiler was the Yenko add on. Only two, one piece units are referenced as far as I can tell....BKH
