[original owner]

I can clear up the mysteryof the car in the last post. Its the same car as the dec. 2004 featured car ,on this site. camaro yenko #8016. as I am the original owner, Bought the car new from Jay Kline chev.minneapolis mn. I drove the car for app. 2 years on the street, sothe car has app. 22k miles on it. after that car was further modified and only driven at the track in the summer.wen car was new Ipulled out motor,and made it into bassicly atricked out L-88 app.700 h.p. times ran around 10.30 very fast for 1968.as to color, the restorer schmidt from n. dakota had the car painted wrong color, british racing green (old code #) later owner mike guarise had color corrected ralley green.(car still has app. 5 mistakes on the restoration) As for the drivetrain,I had the block replacd under warranty in 69, spun bearing, as my shift point was 8000 to 8500, lots of stress. car never lost arace at track or street (lake street mpls for those that remember) At time of restore drivetrain was original except for modifications. The car sold for 25k to 30k unrestored, I was offered the car after restore for app.120k I had to pass, the car listed for 4439.00 and I paid 3750.oo plus tax new.They were not good sellers new. To whoever the present owner is I still have all the original paperwork, window sticker sales contract, payment book 93.00 amonth 36 months.And would sell all to you plus 5 first place trophys.Found this site month ago and cant believe how many times that car has shown up, with totaly bad info.
1968 yenko camaros were the best lowest production,ss/rs trim,plate in doorjam,yenko. all had badges and pontaic wheels, all m21 4speeds,allglass hoods,all 4.10 rearends and only app.11 remaining, untill the one in lightblue iam working on is done.One of 6 that Jay kline sold that year. took me 4 years to find it, still in mpls. And only because I know the owners son and looked at old record for months. Anyway any questions on 68's please ask Bob krueger thanks
