Thanks Pete for having brought this thread back to life last month.

I really enjoyed writing my little stories and I am glad so many people enjoyed them. Hard to believe all that stuff happened since it was a life time ago and having just turned 70 (hard for me to type), but the pictures don't lie.

I should have posted this yesterday to express my sincere THANKS to all the Veterans out there and especially to my Dad who was a Combat Engineer in the Army in WWII in the South Pacific.

These have been really great stories to read, thank you for sharing. I'm assuming this did not end up being your old car?

Default Lost Yenko Camaro

That is a really interesting ad, I didn't know anything about it till the link was posted. I guess there is always a possibility that could be my original Yenko, however, looking at the ad, there were several things that stood out to me; the description said the car was green, obviously, no one could tell based on the picture, maybe the trim tag is still on the car, and my car was LeMans blue, second, it said it was "ORIGINALLY a V8 automatic", my car was a 4 speed, lastly, the car has a 10 bolt, which over the last 50 years someone could have taken the BE rear end out and put the 10 bolt in. I guess anything is possible....

I have no idea if this is my old Yenko, but they did get the VIN correct, no title, I would be curious if the VIN tag is on the car and if the hidden VIN matches the dash VIN.

Maybe one of the Super Sleuth Members that live in New Jersey could check it out. I have already been on a couple wild goose chases, so I have no plans to head to the east coast.
