I remember seeing a Fathom Green Yenko Camaro with the black Yenko stripes that was really ragged out in Pittsburgh around 1984-ish. Looked like a daily driver and had an SCCA sticker on the rear bumper. Always wondered what happened to it.

The only Fathom Green 69 Yenko Camaro with black stripes that I know of is N663482. I believe that car was from the Pittsburg area. It was restored in the mid 90's and owned by Brian Henderson at one time. I've never seen it in person and don't know its whereabouts today.

Do you know if there were any Fathom Green with white stripes from around the Pittsburgh area back then? Just curious, thanks and Merry Christmas!

From the information I have there were three other Fathom Green Camaros sold out of Yenko in '69, but only one of those is a known car. It was owned by Vickie Koss in the late 80's and was restored. There was also one sold in Youngstown OH that is a known car. It was restored by Randy Miller in the mid 90's. I don't know if either of those cars was in the Pittsburg area in the mid 80's or not.

Thanks for the info, I bet that was it.

My dad was the 2nd owner of that car. He purchased the car in the 1973-74 range from the original owner (Larry Lowe). He bought the car on a Wednesday and blew the motor up Friday night at Keystone Raceway Park. He raced the car for years at Keystone Raceway and Peterson Memorial Dragway (Tipton, PA). The car ran 11.70s with a 427, Hurst V-Gate, and 5.13s. In the 1980s he cloned it as a Z/28 with a candy-apple green paint job. Sold it to a gentleman locally in the 80s who I believe sold it to Brian, who restored the car.

The car was a drag raced from day one until my dad sold the car. My dad says that once the car got put back on the street with a car seat (ME) in the back seat it never felt the same. So, he sold it to get into Corvettes and street rods.

Hearing the stories of that car as a kid is what caused me to fall in love with Camaros. That is my all time favorite Camaro.


The Lowe family and my dad were drag racers and not SCCA racers. The car as Fathom Green was drag raced.

Few Pictures of the car. Picture of the car after its restoration. Picture of the car when Matt's Dad had the car painted candy-apple green. July 31,1974 Indiana Gazette newspaper ad that Larry Lowe posted the car forsale. When Larry passed away several years ago his phone number was the same as it was in this ad from 1974.

When in the 80's did your dad do the Candy Green paint? Do you recall it having the SCCA sticker on it when your dad had it?
