With three identical cars built at the same time and delivered to dealers 50 miles apart, it is entirely possible 2 or all 3 are involved.
Someone gave me Yenko ownership history circa 1990: N578835 Cliff Ernst collection N578842 Bob Trez, Gary Holub, Ed Cunneen N578884 private owner, WI. All three still exist. In addition, I have a WI DMV record from 1983 showing N578842 was privately owned since 4/22/81 by an individual in Madison, WI. Nothing changes the fact that Doug Martz asked me to look at a Yenko Camaro in Waukesha about 1981 and I did. I was not in the market. Cunneen later told me he bought it. Between Dale, Yunker and Hult's Chevrolet, about 27 COPO Camaros were sold in this area. 12 remain in the wind. One of the Dale COPOs was found in 2015. No one had any idea what it was. Bet there are one or more still around here.

I owned 835 from January '76 until November '85. There were no thoughts of selling until maybe summer of '84. The phone calls from Lombard and Minneapolis probably started in '81, '82 for sure.

So, did you buy your’s from Slocum Leasing? I see nothing posted other than that possibility that could tie the OP brother’s car to it also being your car…#835.

It was from a leasing place in West Allis. Somehow the Slocum name doesn't seem right to me although it was 45 years ago. There was a Slocum Pontiac in Milwaukee for a number of years but this was a completely different location.
I bought the car from the father of the owner. The son had been killed in a car accident and the car had sat for a time. The father said another son, likely the OP, who was soon to be of driving age and he wanted the car gone before that happened. That was the story I was told. |
