I know of someone who turned down around 250-275 for his Yenko Camaro and I had an offer of 250 and turned down.
Told you buy before BJ's( for the guy who is REALLY looking to buy a car) ![]()

WHAT ALOT OF PEOPLE FAIL TO REALIZE, IS THAT THIS CAR WAS RESTORED NINE YEARS AGO... IT HAS GONE THRU A FEW OWNERS SINCE IT WAS DONE, AND PROBABLY NOT HAD THE CARE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE. IT IS REALLY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN THE NATURAL FINISHES ON METAL PARTS. (I GUESS THEY COULD HAVE USED OVER THE COUNTER METRIC BOLTS, AND HELP PACK FASTENERS LIKE I HAVE SEEN ON OTHER SO CALLED HIGH END RESTORATIONS) IT IS STILL FAR AHEAD OF WHAT ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING TODAY.... CRY ABOUT A PIECE OF CLOTH TAPE ON THE COWL INDUCTION SEAL, PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW THAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THERE EVEN NOW. AND AGAIN THAT WAS NINE YEARS AGO. NOW THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN, GOODMARK SELLS ONE WITH TAPE, IT'S NOW CORRECT, AND WE'LL ACCEPT IT, BUT ITS THE WRONG TAPE. AGAIN NINE YEARS AGO!!! THE GUYS THAT DID THIS CAR ARE SECOND TO NONE, AND ARE IN IT FOR THE LOVE OF THE CARS AND THE HOBBY, NOT JUST TO LINE THEIR POCKETS, UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE. THE CAR IS A GREAT CAR, AND WHO WOULDN'T WANT IT IN THEIR GARAGE. I KNOW THAT I WOULDN'T MIND HAVING IT, EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NEED A LITTLE SPANKING UP.

Just curious if you don't mind me asking. ![]()

How many awards did the Rallye Green Yenko win?? I know it won a Gold Spinner... [/ QUOTE ] Not just a gold spinner, but Best of Show at Vettefest. I was looking at this website last night and found these pics by accident, pretty cool site if you've never been there before. The sound clips are cool too! Let the intro load for a neat photo of this car... you'll probably recognize more than a "few" other cars on that website too... ![]() 69 RG yenko

I just found this in the "library." It's a copy of the January/February '99 issue of Camaro Enthusiast, a small United States Camaro Club publication. It's the happens to be the "Niagara Falls Convention Issue" featuring the RG Yenko in question. Attached is a pic of the cover.

The article reads, "The car first time out scored a Gold with 984 points in the Trailered Dealer Modified Class. If you could have taken home any Camaro at the Niagara Falls convention the most likely candidate would have been this outstanding Rally Green Yenko." No mention of the cowl seal.

"Gary Baker accepting his Best of Show Award with glee!" Let's give the guys at SCW a little credit here, for knowing their sh-t, then and now.

Bob, here is the picture I promised. To get the tape to show up I fiddled with the picture with Photoshop but you can see the correct texture and finish. It is a really nice repro from Goodmark..............RatPack.............
