Yea, me too missed seeing your photos

for awhile we were having to downsize our photos but as you found out that is no longer required.

#136 This 68 Yenko Camaro RS/SS is YS8027 and is known as the "England Barnfind". When this car was found in 2008 it had 25K miles and was missing it's engine and transmission. Charlie owned it before is was restored by Level One in Colorado. Phil M. had it at MCACN in 2016. There are 7 Matador Red with black vinyl top RS/SS cars that I know of and all of them are 06C cars. I have the body numbers for 4 of these cars and they are all within 10 body numbers of each other. There are some missing YS numbers in the range of these cars as well so there may still be 3 of these Matador Red cars out there.

IIRC, this car was found outside of Flagstaff, in AZ....

Here are a couple of links to the car.
https://levelonerestoration.com/port...1968-rs-yenko/
https://goodguysnewsarchives.com/68-yenko-camaro/
It spent a good bit of it's life in England where it was found sitting in a pole barn with an old Ford drag car. It was shipped back to the US in a container in 2008 or so. The guy who brought it back to the US may have been from AZ.

#137 Here is Grady's 69 COPO Camaro N687908. It was purchased from Williams Chevrolet in Lebanon PA. It currently has an L88 backed by the original TH400 and a BE rear. This is one of the best Day 2 cars out there. It was featured in the December '17 issue of Musclecar Review. These pictures are from MCACN in 2016. The cars were parked too close together and weren't parked at an angle so it was kind of hard to take good pictures of them. I also saw this car at the Goodguys event in Columbus in '19. It was parked indoors with the large 69 Camaro display that year. I talked to Grady for about a half hour or so that day. He pointed out a lot of the cool Day 2 items on this car including the JC Penneys slicks.

Grady's is one of the coolest Camaros ever built, period.
