It bugs me that Mecum has been using a computer generated picture to promote what sounds like a beautiful RG Yenko. I'd love to see some real pics of that car.

NovaMob03 Those are real photos. They were shot in a professional studio for us by Brian Sapp in 1991. The "surrealistic" look is intentional and due to the lighting. No expense was spared in the photography and these pictures have been used, and "borrowed" in numerous books and articles. Mecum has the color on the lower photos screwed up, maybe they just scanned them and lost the green. This RG Yenko is an original vinyl top car (sold at Jack Douglass), and is one of the Camaro's that is, in my opinion, as sharp as any 71 billboard Cuda due to the color combination. Maybe John has some more recent photo's available he can post.

The Daytona Yellow car is one of Nickey Chicagos's consignment cars which I sold to a SYC member a couple of years back.
