My Brothers 69 yellow yenko Camaro

[Dump the clutch]

Wondering if I can connect with the person who bought this yellow yenko? Sold from Slocum Car Lease back in 1977or 1976. All I have to go by is the License plate... QC 2407... Police can"t help , unless reported as a Stolen car. Would like to get the Vin number .... Would like to hear if they got the right parts for car. I don't have Vin number.... Also I wonder where dealer ist was orignally sold from? Slocum car lease was in West Allis, Wisconsin...Mike

It would be interesting to hear more about this car for sure!

Cheers,
Anthony

The car ended up in Waukesha, looked at it in the early '80s. By that time the stripes and Yenko badging were gone and it didn't look like anything special. Don't think it had the original engine.

Sold new at Hult's Chevrolet in Madison. Sold at Barrett-Jackson AZ 2016 for $330,000.

Are you sure about all that?

Since you owned it when I looked at it, perhaps you could add some memories.

I don't recall you looking at the car. It was not a Hult car, it was from Yunker. The Hult car you referred to I'm pretty sure was originally owned by Roy Kenseth.

This one? https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...-YENKO--189721

Yup, that's it. It is an exact twin to N578835, which was sold new at Yunker Chev in Oconomowoc according to the registry on this site. The registry shows N578842 sold out of Hult's.

You sold some headers to long-time colleague Warren Malkin Jr. April 2020. At the time, you mentioned to him that they were on a Yenko Camaro which of course, got his attention. Warren also noted you lived in Waukesha, WI so he asked if I knew you. You told him we never met.

From my email to him:

“Interesting comments from Gary. I did meet him; he just doesn’t remember. But he does recall I worked for RTE which hasn’t existed for 31 years. He had the Yenko for sale and Doug [Martz] was interested so I went to check it out. It had been raced some but not cut at all. MN engine long gone. Had all the usual mods; I recall a tach screwed to the top of the dash pad. He had a new pad that went with the car. The Yenko and 427 emblems were in a box in the trunk. Doug passed on it and Cunneen bought it. Sold at B-J AZ 2016 for $330k.”

Make no mistake about it. I looked at the car, at your house. As noted in the B-J description, another long-time colleague Ed Cunneen bought it.

My car was N578835, not the Hult car. And I sure don't remember you looking at the car. We did speak on the phone but I'm almost certain Cuneen is the only one who ever looked at it.
