#157 This 69 COPO Camaro is N639526 and was sold new at Reedman Chevrolet in Langhorne PA. According to the auction writeup it was restored in '17, has a correct MN block and is Camaro Hi-Performance Certified. It talks about having date-code-correct components so I assume it doesn't have it's original drivetrain. This car was at Mecum Indy in 2018 where it was bid to $120K.

#158 This 69 COPO Camaro RS is N624797 and was sold new at Jackshaw Chevrolet in Euclid OH to Vera Naikeliene. It was ordered with the 9737 option, a TH400 with a console and no radio. The auction writeup says it has a numbers matching engine, but it also says it is a MN block which would be for a 4 speed car. The first time I saw this car was at the Fall Auburn auction in '03 where it sold for $102K. It was bid to $185K at Mecum Kissimmee '17 but didn't sell. It then showed up at Mecum Indy '18 with a fresh paint job and the removal of the spoilers and radio that had previously been added. It sold at Mecum Indy '18 for $180K.

I posted pictures of this 69 Camaro previously. It is N662520 and according to it's NCRS paperwork it was sold new at Larke Chevrolet in Hastings MI. This car was found in a barn in Wisconsin in I believe '04 with no engine or transmission and an incorrect rearend. It had no documentation, but had signs that it could have been an original big block car. It was restored by Custom Classics Auto Body and Restoration in Island Lake IL. It was restored with a correct COPO drivetrain and was certified by Camaro Hi-Performance. It won a Factory Stock Gold Concours award at MCACN in 2009. It sold at Mecum Indy in '18 for $130K and then again at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale in '19 for $137K.

#159 This 69 Yenko Chevelle is B356260 and was sold new at Friedly Chevy Olds in Cedar Falls IA. It is 1 of 2 Dover White Yenko Chevelles that I know of that still exist. It was found by Carl Dwiggins in the 80's and restored. The console and cowl plenum were added when it was restored. It was featured in the November '88 issue of Car Craft. Reggie Jackson had it at Mecum Indy in '18 where it was bid to $310K. According to the auction writeup it has a CE block.

This is probably one of the best classic car galleries.

If I may add, Herold Friedley was never a Chevy dealer, it was Olds GMC.

From the very informed members here I learned that Friedley sold four Yenko Chevelles (three of which are alive today) and, I believe, seven Camaros.
Sometime in the spring/summer of 1969 I happened to be across University Ave. from the dealership while a transport was unloading Yenko cars, and later seeing a row of them on the lot.
In 1975 I passed on the chance to buy the Lemans Blue Friedley Chevelle for $2,500 asking. By then it was looking a bit tired.

Thank you for this fine thread!!

I knew Friedly was an Olds dealer. I guess I shouldn't have assumed they were a Chevrolet dealer as well. I know of 3 Chevelles and 4 Camaros from Friedly so I must have several associated with the wrong dealer. I saw the LB Friedly Chevelle B357938 several times at Super Chevy Shows when Tom Billigen owned it. It had been freshly restored at the time.
Which other known Yenko Chevelle from Friedly is still arround? I've also seen two of the Camaros. I saw the LB Friedly Camaro N614579 at the CVF in '03 when they had a large Yenko display. There was a FG Friedly Camaro in the same display that was owned by Carl Stuber at the time. That one was originally owned by Kenneth Arthur Walton and was either N614328 or N614732. Does anyone know for sure which one Carl Stuber had?

This Yenko Deuce is W349459 and was sold new Dick Watson in Williamston MI. It was previously owned by Jeff Latondress and Bob Gagliano. I had posted some photos of it when it was at Mecum Indy in 2016. It was back at Mecum Indy in 2018 and sold for $80K.

Is it Friedly Olds GMC or Friedley Olds GMC? I've seen it spelled both ways?
