1969 COPO 427 EL CAMINO???!?!?

[mnyenko]

I do remember seeing this truck.It was parked in the infield of race track on Minnesota state fair grounds .The owner had it there during a show and swap.Seems like it would have been quite a few years back.He had Yenko embels on it.He was telling people it was a factory 427.As I remember it appeared to be a back room motor swap.There is a show swap there this week end.I will ask around if any one knows what happened to the car.Earl

Every once in a while a similar thread pops up over on [ur=http://www.chevelles.com]Team Chevelle[/url], and the El Caminos used to land the U2 spy aircraft come up, and some gentleman that claim to be there said they believe they were 427 cars. Try doing a search over on there bulletin board, as this has came up several times over there.

Whether there was such a thing, I don't know...but it would make for one cool tow vehicle!

I remember there was an article in MCR stating that El Caminos were used in a similar application in Viet Nam. I will look for that issue.
