File is to big, trying to reduce. It is the fathom green 1969 Y Camaro buried to the body in dirt. Pictured in the July 2000 Muscle Car Review.

The story goes something like this; It's not for sale, if you get too close - you might get shot!!

Bummer, it's a very complete car, still has the SW tach hanging inside. Fathom green, a/t, p/s, v/t car [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I remember years ago, an Orange Yenko Camaro sitting just outside of my hometown of Celina, Ohio. The owner always had claims of restoring the car one day. The car is long gone now, anyone know the whereabouts of that one ?

Just about everyone here in WI knows of the car as it was visible from the road for years. Word is it has been moved inside.

Don't bother contacting the owner. He has been offered substantial cash for it, probably more than is prudent.

It is a same that poeple have no more respect for the hobby than to let an important piece of history rot away.
