'Yenko Super Camaro Dealers' and Dick Harrell received a lot of exposure in 1967 when DH did a one wheel - wheel stand and it was all over the magazines and news papers including on covers.

It was also in "Drag Racing Photo Greats" as one of the top photos, back in the day

Yes, both exist and are currently in the Midwest. Very interesting history on both cars and they are technically mirror opposites of each other . One is black with red interior non RS and the other is red on black RS. Both have been featured at MCACN.
