Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

When moving around some parts yesterday, I got my hands on a -68 302 intake-manifold. Holding it in my hands, I came to think about what Ken Dahl told us when we met him back in -86. Ken Dahl still lives in Cedar Rapids Iowa and has been dealing with High-Performance Chevrolets, for a long time. We bought the manifold from him.
He told us that back in the good old days, there was a local guy running a Yenko Camaro. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif
He remembered it so well because he always had a policecar behind him !
Does anyone have a Yenko-car that has been in the area,or have anyone heard of a Cedar Rapids guy with a Yenko ?

Anders, the last I knew Gary Holub owned it. In its day it was the top dog in CR. Schonye

Gary owns a LOT of supercars. I do not know the verification status on them, so I won't make a statement either way. But, I know he has a LOT of Yenko stripes on cars in his garage. He also has a ZL1. He is a pretty big hitter in tis area when it comes to finding cars. I do know he owns a fathom green 69 Yenko....is that the one you're asking about?

Carl Stuber isn't that far away either. At one point he had Fathom, LeMans and Daytona examples...

Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

Do you know if Gary or Carl owned a Yenko in the late sixties or early seventies ? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

No clue, I am too young and not well enough connected. Pretty tight lips here.

Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

I don't think so, Anders. Gary would have known about them then, but I don't think he owned any until the early to mid-80s. Carl was later than that...

Re: Cedar Rapids COPO ?
 

I don't think Gary had any until maybe the very late 70's. I'm thinking more like mid 80's. The car I believe you're thinkig about was in Swisher Ia. not far from CR. I think the org. owner worked for Sears, as I knew people who worked with him back when he was running the streets. It was a serious urban legend. I asked Gary about the car, and he said he had it. Don't know if he still does, but will be seeing him soon and will ask. Schonye

I believe in the Muscle Car Review where Gary was featured as having the largest Yenko collection in the world, it states that he bought his first Yenko which was a Camaro in I think 1984-1985?

Could it be Gary Crawford? I think he's not too far from Cedar Rapids, and he bought his Yenko Camaro brand new.
