Yes I still have both DY Yenko Camaros. The Marshall Chev 4 spd 9N613929 and the Joseph Chev 4 spd 9N614347 . The DY Jospeh Camaro has a cool story. In 1985 I had the fantastic opportunity to answer an ad in the Tradin Times for a 69 Yenko Camaro in a nearby suburb. John P and I went and looked at it. Problem was I didn't have $4400 so we were able to forget the NOS sheetmetal and some other parts and swing the deal for $2900 which was all the money I had in the world . Luckily I saved the Bill of Sale from it and became great friends with the seller in Lombard. Thanks again Ed C I always remember the feeling when John and I towed it home. I was lucky we remembered to strap it down!

Yes Bill Turner had Turner's High Performance. I have photo's of the car in 69 and current. Bill just sent me a slide of the car at the track recently. I'll try to put up some photos. Also of the window sticker, and dealer invoice and P-O-P from Indian River. Interesting info , I think you will like this, the P-O-P is mis-stamped, I believe it shows a 4 speed Iron 427 so don't always believe a ProtectoPlate! Luckily the car is in Ed's ZL-1 registry and Bill kept the window sticker! Thanks for the invite to the show Kenny. You guys rule.

Daamn, I didn't know you had that particular Marshall car - I guess that's why I have not been able to track it down It was last titled to a guy in Royersford who lived in an apartment. Was it ever a mild race car, with a mural on the decklid or doors?

[Steve Drueck]

The only history I have on the DY Marshall car is it went through Vince and Mick Price, then to Tom Harrison . I traded Tom a 69 JL8 ProtectoPlate RS Z28 plus a bunch of $$ for it sometime in the early 1990's. It is a fairly low mile car (high 30's) has GM quarters nicely installed, no evidence of a rollbar. Its in dry storage , ready for paint, not restored yet . Mick might remember more early history possibly.

I remember Tom telling me about the Orange ZL1 from Florida years ago. He had relatives near the original owner. He said he passed on it "because you just can't insure these cars for $ 30,000!" I'll never forget that quote! I remember thinking how he missed an unbelievable car with original engine, etc. Wish I had a shot at that one.
