69 Z28 Hemi- Head Package?

NCGuy68 · #1 05-22-2003, 10:26 PM

Its' my understanding that 5 sets of these experimental aluminum head packages were built by GM in late 68. GM saw no need for them in the Trans-Am racing series, and dropped them. Smokey Yunick dabbled with them for a while and Wayne Guinn has wrote about them in his book, "Camaro-Untold Secrets"

I know Al Maynard has a set on his 69 Z28 Cross-Ram car. I'am wondering what became of the other proto-types?

Thanks for knowledgable replys.

I think Al also has several sets. I had one on a Z28 that I just sold to a Friend. Reggie Jackson had one that he just sold to Gary Holub and I think Reggie might still have a Engine.

I'm pretty sure a guy near me has a set of the heads that were for sale on Ebay a while back.

Did'nt Regie sell the hemi-head 1969 Z/28 towards the end of last year? Last summer I was looking at a 1969 yellow on yellow S/S-R/S 396-375hp camaro with a ZL-1 motor in Southern California. The guy selling the car seems to be involved with selling some of Reggie's cars sometimes. He commented that he had a hemi-head motor put away. Charley did you sell the yellow car? Can you share any details? I would have thought you would keep this car forever, I know I would have.

Yenko pot holder,Yenko perfume,the actual phone from don's desk(seriously i could'nt make this up if i tried) and a bunch of other unusual Yenko things! Next year my friends tell to top this. I'm gonna have to kidnap Joel Rosen and put him in the trunk!!!!

Hey JeffM, are you talking about Max with the hemi heads? That's who I was referring to.
