Re: Pics of my 427 cars
Very nice rides, I love the color combo on the Yenko, its the same color combo as the ex Randy Miller/Kevin Hand 69 Yenko Nova! You need to get that car to have a matching pair! I have seen some videos on streetfire.net and people street racing the 2006 ZO6 against Ford GT, Lambo Gallardo,Viper SRT/10, and a Ferrari F430, and have not seen one get our run yet, that has to be the best car in the world for the money!

Re: Pics of my 427 cars
Hey Keith,
Glad the inspiration hit you to tell us your story. I'm sure the crew here appreciated it as much as I did. Terrific tale, cool history. I sure do like original cars. I for one would like to hear and see more. Charley, Bob, Tom, Rob, Jeff - not sure what the criteria is, but I would like to nominate this ride for "Supercar Feature". And now thru careful calculations (boots removed) I have determined that you are of legal drinking age and would like to propose a beer toast to your Yenko!  <font color="green">Long may she live! </font>

Re: Pics of my 427 cars
First, let me thank everyone for all the kind words regarding both my Yenko and my new Z06. I am very proud and consider myself very lucky to own both.
To comment on some replies: LVCAMARO: Great times from your Z06. Nice picture. They are truly SUPERCARS of today! GTO DON: You are correct that you probably saw my Ram Air II GTO years ago at one of the Dunn & Grasso shows. I think I had it in every one of them. It was also featured in Car Craft, Hot Rod and High Performance Pontiac all in the 1980's. Also, Carl Fronk must have owned the automatic Yenko, not mine (the name is not familiar) and I have "A" title as the second owner. The automatic car was from Marshall Chevrolet, my 4 speed car came from Karen Chevrolet in Phillipsburg, NJ. If you know him I would love for you to ask him if it was a 4 speed or auto car. If it was a 4 speed I would love to talk to him. Maybe he owned it and never titled it? MARLIN: Probably Muscle Car Magazine? The drag test at Englishtown between the automatic and 4 speed cars. One hot 95 degree day, old hard F70 tires bias ply tires and still 13:08 at 115 mph on first pass. I wish they let me get more passes in that day. I needed slicks. JTH74: I am familiar with Kevin's Nova. I agree it would be nice to own both! MOCKINGBIRD812 (SAM): Yes I am now old enough for some beers (and then some)! Thank you for the vote on a feature car.

[/ QUOTE ] That was then, this is now. That is why I purchased the Z06 so I don't need to worry about loosing $50,000 in value because I just missed a gear and blew a hole through the side of the block  Don't get me wrong I'll still take it for a blast but at today's value I am carefull with it too. Sorry!

Re: Pics of my 427 cars
I know a couple of guys who bring their cars just for the show, and don't race them. Not racing your Yenko is perfectly understandable to me.

Re: Pics of my 427 cars
Thanks for understanding. Maybe one day I'll bring it there. I sold my triler when I moved from NJ to FL because we live in a golf course community that will not allow it. If I ever get one again I'll be sure to get there.

I SEEN IT AT A CAR SHOW IN THE 80'S I HAD HEARD THE STORY ABOUT THE UNCLE ALSO AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF "WHY CANT I FIND A GIRL LIKE THAT"   THE YENKO THAT IS?
