Chris,welcome to the board! The car you speak of was owned by dave eads from 73-76 or 77,he purchased the car from joe pecca,joe had owned the car from 71-72 or 73,the car was then sold to another guy and he had crashed the car in the 70s,what a shame,this car was not a 69 but a 68!dave drove the car to college for about a year before deciding to sell,he was asking 2500.00,but could not get it so he took 1500.00! the car was blue with black interior,4speed,had the stinger hood with locks,gauges. The car supposedly came out of a kansas city dealer new in 68,Chad

Wow Chad,that is about exactly the story I heard about the car.I heard both 68 and 69 from people.I went with 69 because 69 came up more often.So the Eads car is Dead.Funny thing noone here knows what happened to it,how did you know? Just to be curious.

cuz he's the human version of a blood hound and a graduate of the "mr70's" Who's Who in the car world. Give him a lead and get out of his way! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]

Chris,dave sold the car to a guy named steve,shortly after that the car was crashed,noone knows to what extent but back then a $1500.00 car cracked hard in the front was not worth anything but parts,i am still tracking the leads but looks like another yenko that bites the dust

The rumor I heard is that it's in a field somewhere in Rosebud, MO rusting away.

I was at a car show in Chillicothe, MO this weekend and there was a "Yenko" drag car there. Stupid me, I failed to get a vin number off of it, I automatically assumed it was a clone. Hugger Orange with white interior, roll cage and 5 point harness. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Rusty,
My hunting host lives in Chillicothe and I go there every November, do you know where the car is from? He is not a car guy but if it's a local car then I can have him ask around to see what he can find out. Any pictures by chance?

Chiilicothe is not a large city and it is out in the middle of nowhere but several years ago I found a 65 Shelby GT350R there so you just never know.

Rick,

Small world. I was born and raised in Chillicothe. Still own two farms just outside of Chillicothe.

Do I know your friend there I wonder?

What kind of hunting do you do there? I grew up hunting geese at Swan Lake and Fountain Grove both.
