There was a blue 69 "Yenko" Camaro Clone Convertible that showed with us at the Baltimore World of Wheels show back in '04 and '05 I believe. The owner did not represent the car as a real-deal. I believe he was calling it a "Tribute" car.

The builder spent a lot of money putting it together. I am sure I have pics of it from the show, so I will do some digging.

The car CLEARLY WAS NOT a real Yenko Camaro and as stated, the owner was not representing it as such.

It'll be interesting to see how this turns out however I agree with most others on this forum, it doesn't exist.

With that said Yenko Chevrolet sold many more "plain jane" cars than they did Super Cars and I've seen many plain jane Chevrolet's from the late 60's early 70's running around the Canonsburg, Pa area with Yenko Chevrolet nameplates on the trunk. It could be that this Camaro was simply sold new at Yenko and not one of the conversion cars.

I hope this pans out well for you,because the odds of this being authentic are worse then kwhizz sharing lunch with a lawyer during a union meeting.
