I sniff out, you are a DWEEB, with nothing better to do! Why dont you spend some time putting your car back together, that is still in boxes, or sell your old newspapers for a few bucks. Obviously you could use the money! Merry Christmas Warren. Love, Supersport.

Supersport,
Sounds like you a very frustrated man, or maybe just jealous. We don't need losers like you around here. Take it from me, your time would be best spent, in some third world country with your wanna be cars. Maybe you can fool somebody there! I'll bet you were a loser in high school, or didn't you make that far!!!!!!
Did the info from the article I sent you on the brown 69 Camaro body #155017 help you sell it? I see its not for sale on Ebay anymore. Would like to point out, if you had a very low reserve, and I mean extremely low, I might have wanted it as a parts car.
So Supersport in closing, why dont you try to make friends somewhere else, as you do not have any here!!!!!!!!!! Warren
PS Just for the record, the only thing of mine that swings both ways, is my clock pendulum, just incase you were using "Love" as a come on.

Peck, your the one that needs to get a life. Stop trying to pass off your crap through deception. Why don't you spend some money(your rich) and buy some real cars. ZMANIA, your not welcome on this site...go find a BOSS 9 site. COLUMBO

Hi Mike!
I got this idea after reading ChrisS posting on Advertisement for Yenko/Nickey cars.
Never know, might jar a few memories, or fill in a few blanks on a cars history. Every piece of info is important, and was hoping to get intelligent feedback such as yours.
My COPO car was advertised in the Penny Saver
a New York based paper, back around 1972-73. I myself wouldn't mind getting a copy of the ad, as that should lead me to the original owner. I could use the phone number as a starting point. I've been told libraries have phone books in their archives, and that would be the first place I would look. Warren

It would be worth a try. Who knows what you might turn up, even though it would be a long shot. What is the story on #155017?..BKH

Re: Yenkos for sale in Springfied MA area
 

Hi BKH!
The only thing I can say about #155017, is it wouldn't be anything I would be proud to own.
Wouldn't it be great if Chevrolet came out with the info on the cars such as Pontiac does? Then again, the owners of cars that are not worthy wouldn't be to happy now would they! Warren

Warren,
I don't think I have met you yet but have heard things, all good. We have a mutual friend, The Mayor of Fishkill NY who talks highly of you. Thanks for the heads up about the COPO...BKH

Warren, here's what I can "sniff out" of the ads:

Searching for this street address in all of MA gives the following:

Bailey Motors
321 Allen St
Springfield
MA, USA 01108-1902
Phone: (413) 7364506

Perhaps someone at Bailey Motors knows what happened to "Rudy's" records
and can find a VIN or owner details for the Yenko sold in Jun-Jul 1968.

Doing a reverse search on the phone number gives the following name and
address. Perhaps the guy never even changed phone numbers after all these years:

Re: Yenkos for sale in Springfied MA area
 

Well now, who's going to be first to make the call? I just set the stage. I'll let you guys play it out!
Back around '81 a friend called me, and said a Yenko was for sale in Poughkeepsie NY. He gave me the guys phone number, I called, hopped on my motorcycle, and when I got there to my disappointment it was a '68 and not a '69. At the time I didn't know they had them in '68. It had the 140, big front sway bar, Yenko badge on the glove box door, and SYC plate near the courtesy light switch on the drivers side. No engine or transmission. $1200.00 could have bought it. I gave the phone number of the guy to the " Mayor of Fishkill NY" recently, but am not sure if it produced any leads.
