Danbury Mint to release new 1/24th Yenko Camaro

**bkhpah** · #1 09-30-2005, 03:53 PM

I have just recieved the first Danbury Mint 1/24th scale Yenko Camaros. The Danbury mint was at Super Car Workshop last year taking pictures and taking notes for their new deicast Yenko. A few months ago I recieved the first prototypes on a Yenko and a COPO Camaro we worked with them on. We recomended a number of changes and the finished car is simply amazing. If you are a diecst fan, this is the best I have seen. The first issue is a Hugger Orange/Black stripe X66. I will post pictures soon. The detail is fantastic, from the Yenko plate frame,to the antenna that goes up and down. It should be a big seller. Future plans call for other Yenko colors and a new COPO release...BKH

Great news! Danbury does a very good job as well as having some of the best detail. Glad to hear you were associated with the project and I look forward to getting some of these.

I have one of these on order. As soon as I seen it come in the mail I new that I had to have one of these. I have several Danbury Mint cars and they look great I can only wait to get this one in my hands. What even makes it better is that they went to the guys at SCW to get it perfect. I'm looking forward to seeing the up coming Yenko colors that they are going to offer along with the COPO's. This is indeed great news. Hopefully they will try and do a few of the other Supercars in the near future (Motion, DANA, Nickey, Dick Harrell etc).

Oh Very cool!
Why is there a chin spoiler but no rear spoiler on that COPO? Am I seeing things?
Are those BPT codes on the firewall?

Hey Brian,

Glad to hear you were in the creative process on this DM
die-cast car. Nice bullet for the resume.

Bragging rights - eeeh!

BTW, I'm getting that A-R wing.

I'll post pictures

bkh @ SCW sent the Danbury guys up to me earlier this year to shoot my BY sYc Chevelle for an upcoming release also, probably still a year away...........can't wait. My 10 year old son has only asked me if it's out yet about 99 times.

what was the significance of the assembly line crayon marks "crafted in China" on the floor pans.?

I believe there is some law governing this. From my understandings, sellers must disclose the origin of manufacturing. All retail items must have it displayed somewhere on the article.
