"Barn Find" The Last 69 Yenko Camaro......

[markus37]

We had a row of the unsold Camaros at the rear of the used car lot ( mostly orange and green )when the 70 1/2 Camaros came out . I know they were eventually sold at a discount, to dealers and private parties.They were just seen as unsold inventory...who knew !

As above, Body #'s were reset due to the extended '69 model year production.
Normal procedure at GM plants was changeover end of July and new model year line production beginning in August but in 1969 GM was having problems w/ some new for '70 style components so Fisher Body reset the #'s and Norwood continued producing '69 Camaros into November 1969.

thanks for sharing that. As far as me seeing a 5 instead of a 9, guess it's time for reading glasses.
Now, I don't see the normal tach or mounting holes in the dash...wondering if it has the punch in the firewall, sold without a tach or maybe it was mounted on the right side [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Everything after 06A had the in dash tach and center fuel gauge..

Not any more. Deal is done and headed to new owner/collector. Will likely get cleaned up, issues fixed and then driven. Hopefully full restoration in the next couple of years.

Its a link to Chevy Hardcore listing/feature on the car. I just opened it again OK. Maybe its your settings or maybe as the link came through me in Aust? Beats me.

..on another note, this Yenko had a 120mph speedo. Was there a delay during COPO production before GM and Yenko had the package for the 140 speedo etc? Some cars had the 120mph. Were other Yenkos that were shipped to other dealers fitted with the package?
