Cedar Rapids COPO ?

Carl Stuber isn't that far away either. At one point he had Fathom, LeMans and Daytona examples...

Do you know if Gary or Carl owned a Yenko in the late sixties or early seventies ?

No clue, I am too young and not well enough connected. Pretty tight lips here.

I don't think so, Anders. Gary would have known about them then, but I don't think he owned any until the early to mid-80s. Carl was later than that...

I don't think Gary had any until maybe the very late 70's. I'm thinking more like mid 80's. The car I believe you're thinkig about was in Swisher Ia. not far from CR. I think the org. owner worked for Sears, as I knew people who worked with him back when he was running the streets. It was a serious urban legend. I asked Gary about the car, and he said he had it. Don't know if he still does, but will be seeing him soon and will ask. Schonye

I believe in the Muscle Car Review where Gary was featured as having the largest Yenko collection in the world, it states that he bought his first Yenko which was a Camaro in I think 1984-1985?

Could it be Gary Crawford? I think he's not too far from Cedar Rapids, and he bought his Yenko Camaro brand new.
