A friend of mine hade a -69 Camaro that was registered as a Z28 when it came to Sweden in the early seventies. It was actually a 327 base coupe.

palexisls - No need to start flinging grenades. Based on experiences I have had at work trying to get things past South American customs. Well it wasn't a walk in the park. If you got yourself a Yenko congrats.

Funny the CT title from 1989 that I got with my Deuce says in the body style description "2dr Yenko". Also interesting is that when the title was issued it had the buyers date of birth on it and he was only 18 years old!

So much for that "youngest Yenko owner" theory 'eh Frankie? Maybe in modern times, but if it was 1970 that kid would be calling you "old timer."

That was pretty common back then. The original owner of my Camaro was 18 when he bought it, as was his best friend, who bought one as well. His mother signed for the car and was listed on the original title. And, because she was the one listed, and had not moved in 50 years,(thank goodness, St. Louis) I was able to track her down through a title search. The hard part was getting her to give me her son's phone #.

At a show in St. Louis, where I was able to reunite the owner with the car, one of his friends told me "Tony drove the cr-p out of that car". I guess that is why he dropped a valve at 2000 miles.

And, the most interesting part, the oriignal owner swears the car came with aluminum heads. This on a '69 Yenko Camaro.

Does that mean Rob can run aluminum heads in his factory stock drag racing? every pound counts!
