Story:  Brian knows every nook and cranny of his 1969 Yenko clone from the inside out.  This is the second 1969 Camaro that Brian has owned.  His first was used mostly on the strip and Brian was looking to have something a little more streetable.  Brian literally made this car from mostly two cars and as many as twelve. The interior came from a Michigan car that was purchased in 1980.  The body was donated by a California car bought in 1987.  Brian took the car down to bare metal, added several new pieces of sheet metal and painted the car himself.  He made a rotisserie to help with the restoration of his first Camaro and said it came in handy for this one as well as his third Camaro, a 1968 RS/SS.  It took Brian about three years to restore the car to his exacting standards.  In keeping with the Yenko theme, the engine is badged as a 427, but is really a 454.  The engine compartment and interior look as good as the outside.  If you get the chance to see this car up close, you will see what a masterful job Brian has done with the paint and bodywork.
