Default Bill Hunter Yenko

I heard one of us talked Bill out of his Yenko that he bought new.

Wild Bill was ruthless at the wheel. The one race at the reunion when he left the starting line hard and the rear of the car shifted towards the wall but he stayed in it and corrected to finish the race. You could just feel the tension in the air as the car drifted over and everyone's butt cheeks tightened. Cool car and a great guy...

Bill was great to meet at the reunion years ago. He still had all his paperwork which he gave to me to run to Kinkos, not many would do that. He bought an orange Yenko Camaro before the yellow car and as he described it &quot;she started knocking about 140&quot; and brought it back to Gates the next day. He said he'd take the yellow car which was still on the delivery trailer from Yenko, the one he still owned. He certainly enjoyed it, he told us he had at least 7 different motors in it over the years!

Bill saved everything... the entire original exhaust along with clamps etc is there, the entire smog system, manifolds, backdrive linkages fuel block and lines are mint. Plus the original keys, knockouts, key envelope folder, keychain, all of the warranty paperwork, POP and folder, the Yenko - Cannonsburg Window Sticker, the oil change coupons from Gates, sales contracts for both cars.

It was at Pavillions early this morning when I swung by. I didn't note the new owner but he made a sign for it already. I think it said it was bought on 1/22.......

interesting how Bill put a 1/4 in stripe around the Yenko hood stripes to match the way Yenko put the 1/4 in stripe around his side stripes
