Olympic Gold Yenko
I have thought about this car for almost 30 years and wondered if it is still around. This car switched me from Nova’s to Camaro’s. I saw the car for sale at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Indy in 1979. As I remember it had North Carolina plates on it and was For Sale with $5,800 written on the sign. I am not sure if it was real but back then it was a 10 year old used car with stripes and a big block. I had taken some pictures, but have not been able to find them in years. At the time I didn’t have the $5,800 so I returned home and bought a nice 69 Z/28.
Just wondering if it is still around and might get a chance to see it again at SCR X. I think I could come up with the $5,800 today if it is still around. Mike |

Re: Olympic Gold Yenko
I don't remember about the wheels, it was a long time ago. I did meet 3 crazy Canadian's in the Indy KOA campground and some how a shed went missing piece by piece during campfire time....
I later heard that one of them drove out the side of the second or third floor of a parking garage in Toronto. Sometimes I think I could have used those brain cells later in life. Mike |

Re: Olympic Gold Yenko
The Atlas wheels comment was in wondering if the car you saw could've been the Olympic Gold Yenko prototype that exists today?.

Re: Olympic Gold Yenko
I believe there was a thread on here last fall or so regarding an 69 Olympic Gold Yenko Camaro for sale in Upstate, NY without the original motor - I think someone here may have purchased it
