Any truth to this Yenko Prototype? IMHO
What says the experts... regardless there are many things wrong as far as the resto goes. I didn't think there were any Nov BE's some Nov BL's converted yes, but a legit confirmed Nov BE?
Excerpted from the Super Chevy Article... emphasis added "After being used for design work, the car remained with Yenko apparently as a demonstrator for customers at the Canonsburg dealership, and Yenko's dealer network. During this period, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Don himself is said to have taken the car to Tennessee</span></span>, presumably to show off to his dealers in Memphis (Union Chevrolet) and Nashville (E.B. Smith Chevrolet). During this trip, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">with Yenko rumored to have been behind the wheel</span></span>, the car was wrecked, taking a hard hit to the passenger side A-pillar and rear of the front fender." "After more exhaustive research by Barber that covered six months, VIN searches, title investigation, and <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">discussions with Yenko enthusiasts and experts, it was finally confirmed that the Camaro in John Miller's possession was indeed the first '69 Yenko Camaro ever built</span></span>, and one of the very first L72 Camaros assembled at Norwood" Read more: http://www.superchevy.com/features/sucp-...l#ixzz3SUeVQ2wq Follow us: @SuperChevy on Twitter | SuperChevyMag on Facebook http://www.superchevy.com/features/sucp-...in-numbers.html Seems to me some of this would have to be in an official record somewhere. The VIN would fall in the lost data sets.

No X-66? I would have bet it would have it if it was in the first 50? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

A BS story. Even Hot Rod bought into it with a small feature on the car.

Re: Any truth to this Yenko Prototype? IMHO
How did they publish N576444 as a know Yenko Camaro on the list? I see that is a Camaro with a fake trim tag, sold as a Z28 for the last few years.
We are to believe that Don needed a prototype for what, the stripes? This car was built after Don had already placed orders for 150 cars, I think he was ready for production without the need for a prototype. If the gold '67 smallblock/powerglide first Yenko received Camaro sold for over $ 300k at auction, I guess its worth the hype for the potential sale on this car, true or not. |

NCRS records begin with 587275 therefore there isn't a record available. This story doesn't pass the smell test.

Too funny. 124379N576444 was owned by a friend. It was a 59-59 723 Z. Rusty, but with original paint and interior, no engine or trans. Someplace I have pics of it. This COPO clown is 124379N549828 Discussed here and elsewhere. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...634&page=2

From the pictures supplied on the associated links, it looks they hit every aisle in Pep Boys and every page in a Camaro parts catalogue.
