Nice jacked-up stance.

For good, bad, and otherwise....This is the reason some people keep track of numbers and it also adds to the validity of the registry. Who knows what will try to become what in the future.

In the video he states ... No aftermarket parts used... I guess that excludes the PUI Interior with uerathane dash pad,head rests arm rest pads,generic replacement rear springs front sway bar mounts for a late production, 70 on up type... geez is that an early repo generic curved neck rad that is soooo wrong? Any Camaro guy or 'Real Player' can pick that car apart from 15 feet away. Thats not even putting it on a lift. I almost spit hearing his narration as I looked over the pics...... WOW. But it's the Real Deal, Right ?

Wilson County, TN?

I live in Wilson County and do not recall a Yenko being in the area. I may be wrong but I think I would have remembered that.

Also note that at the end that after his fathers passing all paperwork and photos were lost. Also TN only goes back on vehicle history for 12 years. I have the same paperwork for my 68..


Further along in the vid it shows the TN title and its Hartsville, TN which is Trousdale County and not Wilson like the first &quot;document&quot; states. The documents they are showing are worthless. Regardless still do not remember the car.

... Looks like he is running it again at Mecum in Kissimmee 2023 .
I would think Mecum would research this car
Before running it on this Proto type claim.

...:rolleyes2:

It wont be the first made up fake "prototype" Yenko sold at Auction.

....
.... I wonder Who finally ended up with this Camaro ?
...

sometimes fake cars have fake sales so I don't know if it really sold but
it was on the Mecum site as sold in 2023 $440K

I was surprised Mecum listed it

Anything to do with these two posts?


https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...enko+prototype

https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...highlight=SEMA

The listed highlights of the car included "signed by Lynn Yenko"

no documentation listed

Its been almost 20 years but if I remember the story Jim Barber (who is named in the Mecum Highlights) was involved with the fake prototype and the "new" Yenkos and ended up with some legal problems

here is my old post
"The Dynacorn body Yenko (no VT top) is not the same car as the so called "Yenko Prototype" (black top) but the same people were involved with both cars. The new Dynacorn body Yenko was on the cover MCR March 2008 . Article says it is the first of the continuation series of Yenko Camaros. Here is a quote "Jim Barber says it best: This car is not a rebody. It's not a clone built from a wreck. It's not a custom or someone's tribute. It's the real thing. GM says it is. These cars are built to standards far beyond those with which the originals were built. It's a trip back to 1969-a chance to experience the sights and sounds of the Yenko in a new car. It's an all-steel, fully licensed and approved Yenko Camaro. You can't do much better than that."... I imaged Don "rolling in his grave" on this car."
