I wanted to post this picture again, since so many members liked it the last time I shared it on 1/1/04. There are alot more members now, so I thought I would share it with them, and whoever hasn't seen it yet. Still my favorite!

Yeah, this s one of those photos that needs to be posted every now and then. What a scene. Let's see, I'll take a red one, a blue one, and a black one. Oh, and just for fun Mr. Yenko, drop a crate ZL-1 in the red one. May I write a check?

I will take the Yenko station wagon....that has to be pretty rare!

Hey camarojoe.......I will also take the ORIGINAL copy of that photo that you have in your SUPER memorabilia collection!!!!!!!

Another reason to attend SCR8!!!!!!

Hey Joe, don't you have a couple other views of that back lot too?

camarojoe · #5 02-13-2005, 01:46 AM

Yes, i have a couple other views of that same lot... I think the colors are a bit better on the original photos, but still not really true, the fact they are 35+ year old pics probably doesn't help the color any either. There were also some non supercars in the same lot, a station wagon, step van, and an el camino if i recall correctly. Pretty cool that even back then Don thought it was a neat enough "sight" to take some photographs of. Probably the most Yenkos lined up together at one time ever... at least until SCR8....

Speaking of SCR8, I SHOULD make you guys come there to see this, but what the heck... check it out, alternative view of the same lot.

Yeah, speaking of the original copy, are the colors any different, or better, on the original? Looks like they're a *tad* off on the version above...and am I correct in saying that just on the other side of the cars in the picture is a creek? What's that on the hillside in the background?

Yeah, I'd say the colors are off enought that the Fathom Green cars appear Black and the Hugger Orange cars do look a bit red. I still can't understand why no Black 69 Yenko Camaros. That would be a sweet combo. In fact there are a number of colors that come to mind that would have been hot. On ebay not long ago there was a nice looking tribute car that was Cortez Silver/black top/ black stripes. Really looked good...BKH

Looks like a cemetery.

Kinda what I was thinking, Sam...
