Newly Discovered Jack Douglass Yenko Camaro

Wow. Does the owner know it’s out there?

I dunno, I was told by someone at the show who is very plugged in to the scene that the car has been sold.

I saw this pic on the web, shows that if someone wants to preserve the paint they are going to have to clear it or something.

----Anyone who saw this JD Yenko at MCACN will tell you that the paint is badly damaged and peeling in several locations. To try and save it or just detail it would (at least in my estimation) be fruitless. Car as it stands is very cool, but the paint is not savable. Clearing it wouldn't be possible!....Bill S

There is a lot of Lacquer paint (thick) on the car and the heat and cold cycles of it sitting in a trailer outside in the weather for decades has taken its toll on the paint. We didn't wash or clean the car as it may have damaged the paint even more.

We do not know what happened the original engine. It was purchased in the early 1980s as you see it. The original engine was missing in 1977 when purchased by the prior owner. We are still researching the car and have it documented back to 1977 in Crestwood Illinois. The car was stored in Elwood during the Winters. (As in Blues Brothers, Jake & Elwood).

What a perfect 70's Street Machine. I saw this random pic of it on FB:

Yeah I saw it, paint was cracking off in a bunch of spots.

Really glad to see it at MCACN, nice job to Ryan B, Stefano, the family for making it happen.

Stefano sent me a few pictures to share. I really like this car and look forward to get it running as is and whatever the new owner has in store for the future.
