God rest his soul...I wish Ron Voorhees could have seen that HO Y-Camaro commemorative diecast of his car. Our hobby was honored by his participation and passion

Those look great. Sent copy of this thread to Diecast Pub site. COPO looks really neat. I wish they'd do my car...Garnet Red, double copo, no spoilers...hint, hint.

I have 2 Creative Masters Z/28's, Hugger Orange and Lemans Blue and both of my grills are black! I must have purchased diecast clones!

These look great. I have 2 Franklin Mint 69 Z's and 2 Danbury Mint 69's One Z and One SS. The Yenko is way more detailed!

I sent Rob the final version of the X66 Yenko. It had many changes from the prototype. Some subtle changes like the dome lamp was 180 degrees out, some trim needed removed, black rocker panel treatment, spare tire placment etc. Small detail like the Yenko mag decal, Canonsburg plate frame and many others were done,and yes PTB marks on the firewall. Danbury really did a great job with the car considering the 1/24th scale. The first car was selected as Orange and the car is based on Ron Voorhees and Don Stowers car. Future releases will be I believe another X66 maybe two, an X11 and 2 X44 versions. The silver COPO was a mule for the others to come. There is talk about other dealer built models later. I will update as I get updated. Frank Arones COPO was used for the models as well as Barry Coughlins OG Yenko Camaro. Thanks for all the help with this project guys. I think Danbury did a great job and if these are a big hit, I am sure many others will follow..BKH

Steve,

Is that your Hugger Orange Yenko? If so, what was the
approximate build date? I noticed that your car has the
rear panel blacked-out. Wasn't that an early Yenko
phenomenon?

BTW, I like the 24/24 scale too. Can you get one for the
price of a Danbury Mint die-cast?

The first 50 cars were X66 cars and had the rear panel blackout just like the 396 SS cars. All were O1B cars...BKH
