Olympic Gold Yenko
 

I have thought about this car for almost 30 years and wondered if it is still around. This car switched me from Nova’s to Camaro’s. I saw the car for sale at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Indy in 1979. As I remember it had North Carolina plates on it and was For Sale with $5,800 written on the sign. I am not sure if it was real but back then it was a 10 year old used car with stripes and a big block. I had taken some pictures, but have not been able to find them in years. At the time I didn’t have the $5,800 so I returned home and bought a nice 69 Z/28.

Just wondering if it is still around and might get a chance to see it again at SCR X. I think I could come up with the $5,800 today if it is still around. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Did it have the Atlas wheels on it?.

I don't remember about the wheels, it was a long time ago. I did meet 3 crazy Canadian's in the Indy KOA campground and some how a shed went missing piece by piece during campfire time....
I later heard that one of them drove out the side of the second or third floor of a parking garage in Toronto.
Sometimes I think I could have used those brain cells later in life.

The Atlas wheels comment was in wondering if the car you saw could've been the Olympic Gold Yenko prototype that exists today?.

I believe there was a thread on here last fall or so regarding an 69 Olympic Gold Yenko Camaro for sale in Upstate, NY without the original motor - I think someone here may have purchased it

Kevin Hand has it.

I hope to have it completed later this year.

Was it at a show in Chattanooga Tn in 2006?
