Re: Photo of 68 Camaro's at Kenny Ross Chevrolet ?
Sorry to be so late, was on the ocean with no computer. all the kline cars had the pontiac rallys, with trim rings. I was also concerned years ago when I first read the build date on ys 8016 was april 68. I am sure the purchase date was march 68. that and a number of other facts ( the colors of some of the kline cars)have made me question some of the known facts,about these cars. I think the known facts are probably new compared to what I saw when I bought the first of the six and saw all six together, and a few years later I was in sales at Kline chev and saw the paperwork on all 6. I do want to get in another pi33ing contest, but my info is I am sure the first and the best, remember I was in the auto business for app. 40 years. I also was back in the day, a young man, that liked and bought several of these muscle cars, and raced them. If you look back on my posts from years ago, on this site my moniker was original owner, I was half owner of another 68 kline yenko, which I still am, this car was found long before the current one, ys 8011 was found, mine is also ys 8011 and is island teal. Now you can understand some of my concern over the current records. kline had only 6 68 yenkos, 6 have been found, 2 with same ys #. that is why I told the person who was restoring the later ys 8011 I was sure that car was the wrong color and wrong ys #, ohh and BKH the 68 kline cars had painted steel wheels in the trunk.........YS 8016 Almost forgot, when I talked to Mike Guarise years ago, when he was the owner of 8016, he told me some of the yenko tags, on the door pillar were switched, 8016 had the tag from 8013, and 13 had the tag from 16, and others were switched. Sorry to add more confusion to cars that are already about 50 years old. things were done over the years for $$$$ only. remember back in the day these where just cars that were very fast I think no one guessed they would become what they are today............
