That was a great read with all the history that was included.
Don Weaver sure was a lucky kid!

I would love to see it when it is done.

It's unfortunate that the original Yenko stripes were lost when it was repainted. Although it's great to learn that it was driven & enjoyed, instead of sitting in a garage since new.

I posted this on a first gen forum a few weeks back if you'd like to check out a youtube video I stumbled across on the car.

That's quite a car. Must've been off the charts in 1968

'67 Yenko Camaros didn't have stripes to begin with. Only the 69's had Yenko specific striping.
