Default Re: Wherabouts/story of 80's built Yenko Pro Streeter?

Tom I remember that car and article and I always wondered if it was a legit Yenko. I believe it was a Daytona Yellow car and the stripes that he put back on it did not say Yenko/SC on the quarters. However, for some reason I thought that car was originally an old drag car that he decided to keep that way. Somewhere around here is that article and I will look to see who the owner was if I can find it..........RatPack............

In the process of tracking the 26 Camaros originally sold in WI I contacted all the owners I could locate. One of the cars had the Pro Street look, 454/tunnel ram, 9" rear, painted some other color. I recall it showed eveidence of a hard hit on the RH side. Thought it was originally Rallye green.
This was around 1983 or so.

Sound familiar?

Rumor mill says that one such Yenko (ex- drag car converted to street use ) is located somewhere in the Chicago Suburbs and it may be comming up for sale.

I found the article I was thinking about and it was in Cars Illustrated in March 1987. The car was originally a drag car and was rusted out so the owner to the cheap way out and kept it as a drag car. The stripes were painted on and do not have the Yenko lettering on the 1/4's. There are not any emblems on the car (no pics of the tailpanel) so you cannot really identify it. The owners name was Michael Roberts of Mechanicsville VA. Anyone know if it was real? I cannot post pictures but can email them to someone that can................RatPack.................
