I also would be concerned on interpretations of what is good.

For example, calling the below car 'great' just gets to me. So how would the registry describe the same car? great? or?
depends on who you ask, likely.

This must be the twilight zone.

You brought the Blue Yenko into this thread not me.

Stephano, maybe I am the only one in the twilight zone. But you got my attention when you posted below on THIS thread. You have only one yenko listed for sale on your website, so I assumed it was one of the 4 you brought into this thread.

here is what you wrote:

We have 4 great Yenko Cars going to auction. However Judi's Yenko is the only Yenko Camaro in the auction.

BTW......This is a good time to thank Tom, Rob, Marlin as well as many others who have helped document and track these special cars over the years.

55Hardtop, please add information to your profile.

I have learned over the years that you have to stick around for a while to learn about things like this. The experts will probably chime in and tell you when the first Yenko with factory tach was delivered, but I believe it is correct that in the first ones had a Yenko-installed tach and the last ones had a factory-installed in-dash unit.

The first Yenko order of 50 COPO Camaros where ordered as X66-cars, and therefore they came with the blacked out rear valance.

It could be that he knew that 500 COPO Camaros had been built, even though he didn´t sell all of them. I believe he told Vince Piggins before the first order was placed that he would sell 500 Camaros, but then other dealers started placing orders.

The 4 Yenkos I referenced which are listed on the Mecum site are:

1) Don and Judi's 1969 Yenko Super Camaro

2) Ed's one and only L88, Yenko Trans Am

3) The 1969 Yenko Chevelle featured in McClurg's Yenko Book

4) 1968 L71 427/435 Yenko sold Corvette

All &quot;Great&quot; Cars!

Bob; well, once again we see where jumping in without all of the facts (assuming) gets you. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

It has been asked, why should some one contribute to this site, and what good is a registry if it is not public?

Well, I could give several reasons, but the best reason is being played out in a couple of other threads on this site. Where else could some one get such expert opinions, quick AND free?

Appears this car, at least the tag, is not legit.

This car passed with flying colors, another supercar saved.

Tom - Thanks for posting your reply to the &quot;why should we...&quot; question. I agree with you completely. Even a simple question that I recently posted regarding horn restoration got two quick recommendations for reliable restorers. These may not be &quot;Supercar&quot; questions, but the help is invaluable none the less.
I'm a relative newcomer to this site, so hopefully you'll all forgive my ignorance of how the registry works. I think maybe some clarification would help a lot of the newer members. How does the registry part of this site work? Are all COPO cars included, or just dealer prep'ed cars? I have personally registered two of my 1969 COPO Camaros (non Yenko) and I have never heard another word. I don't know if the cars are registered, if they qualify for registration, or even if the registration was ever received. I know you're a busy guy, but I've never heard back from you or had you answer a PM. I wouldn't be posting this on the public part of the forum if I could get a return PM from you. Finally, if one of the members has a question about a Supercar that they have found, and they don't want to &quot;tip off&quot; the whole community about its existance - how do we find out if the car has been previously registered? Are the notes and files available even in verbal form? This is a good site Tom - I, for one, am just ignorant about how it works.

Now - sorry for hijacking this thread (again) - the subject car is just about the best one out there. Hope it does a shot at auction!!!!!

Hey tom, yes I assumed the blue yenko was 1 of the 4, my appologies to stephano and you on that front. As you can tell, I do not like that rebody car, and forever will let it go.
