Patrick Glenn Nichols Musclecar Barn Finds. Patrick I watch enough Mecum without even watching the video yet, you're correct, a copo with Auto, yes very few ordered. I watch Mecum reruns and all AM/PM don't matter. Waiting for Mecum in Harrisburg,PA August 2,3 & 4th. I'm a purist, as a car guy we never stop learning. Do you have a business or partners? I was in accident last year and now disabled, have a substantial case going, wanted a shop but not able to do work myself at the moment, I could be a money partner in the future if needed, nothing I love more then seeing forgotten about cars of any kind and picturing them back to show room condition. A lot of this younger generation has no passion for cars, it's sad. Thanks.
I also live in Indiana close to the Indianapolis area and would love to be able to get my own barn find. I just don't where to start. Plus I'm a younger guy at only 31 years old. I would love a tip out 2 if you have time to spare.
Beautiful car! What an amazing piece of muscle car history! I hope she gets the full restoration she deserves! Thank you for allowing us to see this amazing machine, God bless you! Keep doing what you do, many of us out here totally enjoy your videos!
Bought a 69 Z/28 for 1200.00 bucks in 1981 minus the 302. Bought a .30 over rebuilt 302 a year later. Loved it! Best 10mpg or so you could ever own. Sold it for 1800 some time later.Got my money back except gas and tune ups! Kick my own ass every day since. It wasn't numbers matching ,wasn't worth a fortune, but damn I miss that high revving, tire barking, parent scaring, envy of the neighborhood. Fired that 302 up on a Sunday morning before church, with open headers. One of my coolest moments according to the young kids around Norton Circle!

My COPO is a X11 car. Base coupe, style trim. (it has all the chrome, including door edge guards) I wish I could send an engine picture of when I bought in in 1986. I swore that was my car when I first started watching this video. I had the same valve covers and intake, and my Super Coil was mounted on the firewall like this one, and I have the same radiator.
It always saddens me when I hear/see a classic come up for sale because the owner has passed away, never to see it finished. Makes me think about the ones I have right in front of me in my shop....Get to work on your cars/trucks, guys so you can get to enjoy them.
...you are so right , start that resto. no dough? don't buy that beer ( wine) that burger, eat green save's you money and pumps up your health....and give's you strengt to work....
I’m a younger guy than most here , but my tale is from the newer generation. I graduated in 91 , and that year my dad bought a new car. Big deal till 03 when they offered him 500$ on a trade in for a new car. My dad keeps his cars mint , this was in excellent shape. So he calls me and asks “want a car for 500$? “ Sure I do. Ok sorry to burst your bubble but it’s a red 2 door 91 Jetta diesel. Not a mommy 4 door but a coupe as the kids call them now, and those that know watercooled vws dig em cause they are not so common. I’m glad I wasn’t into it in 03 and basically drove it a little and parked it and didn’t cut it up and modify it. I resurrected it in 2012, and it’s been a fun journey ever since. It’s never had a hole drilled anywhere, I’ve got all the stock parts and every piece of paper ever. I’m just as anal as you musclecar guys with the correctness and the preservation. Matter of fact I just got some nos goodies off eBay, one of them being the corner window sticker with the engine break in instructions. And I scored a couple of interior parts with date coding really close to what’s correct. Same but different cause it’s newer then the classic stuff , but I’m having a lot of fun with it. Thankfully my dad’s still here and I let him drive it still.
Don't forget that Yenko's first racing Chevy was the Corvair....100 white Corsas were converted into Yenko Stingers and qualified for Class D Stock racing in 1966...
To the guy with the broken record comment. Some very experienced individuals advised me that the most important information should be stated early in the video, again in the middle, and in closing. This is so guys don’t have to rewind to get the meat. Not a broken record just following the advice of those who have experience with informative videos. The idea is to stay on the topic and not on things nobody wants to hear about.
The Yenko family had around 19 dealerships over the years.Don Yenko retired in 1982 and died in a plane landing accident with two other friends in 1987
I went to school with a guy that had a 69 chevelle "Yenko" 427 4speed.. last i saw it had 14k on the speedo i think it even still had the orig tires on it . i remember the car was always covered . i think it was parked in 72-73? in a garage in Indiana no less
Man the amount of information that Patrick knows about all these cars and parts and numbers , just blows my mind ... very good channel by a very good presenter .... thanks brother...
You did a great job with this video and this Yenko was a pleasure to see. Fathom green always did look good with the white Yenko stripes, in my opinion. Yenko originally ordered 30 Camaros with the TH400 automatic, but one car ordered with a Muncie 4 speed was delivered as an automatic making the actual total 31. Either way, 1 of 7 with matching #'s drive-train will be very valuable once it's restored. I can't wait to see it when it's done. Congratulations!
Glad to see these old cars getting out again. Old owners that didn’t have the time and money to do them justice. Please save more get these old cars into the hands of the people that will treat them correct.
My father was a paint supervisor at the GM Norwood plant I got a red 69 Copo with red interior for a high school graduation present my friend had a green one with green interior and I knew a black man who had a orange one with the automatic shift on the column I drag race this car religiously with four and a half years never wrecked it and never killed nobody acquired every ticket except the hit killer manslaughter in triplicate I hate to say it but I beat the living hell out of this car just for the enjoyment of adrenaline I could set the car sideways in 3rd Gear with four people in the car that's awesome thank you General Motors and thank you God for allowing me to do this and not kill somebody
I went to car show a few years back where I saw a 1969 Yenko Camaro it was Marina blue with WHITE interior the owner said that it was original. If I get to see this car again I hope to be able to see the vin tag and the Yenko tag
A friend and myself looked at this car in Moonville Indiana Madison County in probably 1977. It was for sale for $2000 and leaked ATF as fast as you poured it in. It was really out of style at the time and we passed on it.
Yenko wasn't the only dealer that messed with the order forms, a dealer called Nickeys Garage did basically the same thing, as well as Baldwin motion in North Carolina
Very cool find! How do you hear about all these super rare cars you do videos on? Do people contact you or are you plugged into the inner circle? Like you, I am obsessed with these special conversion cars. I did a trip last July to the northeast starting in PA to pick up a bunch of NOS parts I hunted down as well as a 70 Nova SS originally from Berger Chevrolet. Needless to say, I stopped at the old Yenko dealership in Canonsburg. Man was it awesome seeing the old building. Plans for the Nova are to do a special conversion replica car.
drove past his dealership everyday on my way to work,had all the 427s parked behind the shop,any color you wanted,$3,200 got you one,today,around $250,000
Also, just in reference to all '69 Camaro's. If the VIN starts with 1243, it means it came with a V8 but doesn't designate which V8. If the VIN number starts with 1234 it means it came with a straight 6. There was only one of those.
It's just the 3rd digit, the first two digit denote it was made for the US market, the 3rd is the engine, and the 4th is the body type coupe or convertible. If it had a V8 in a first gen you can't confirm with the VIN what engine it came with or if was a base, RS, SS, or Z\28.
i am guessing it was in the hills around Batesville Greensburg area. Saw one 20 years ago next to an orange chevelle. nobody would answer the door. lol imagine that
I see the big block intake looks like its a torker open plenum 360 degree edelbrock manifold, i had a smallblock torker for my hipo 68 covette 350 sbc in my 1/2 ton big window 4 speed m-22 rock crusher 12 bolt 411 gear chevy truck i used to street race back in 85"!!!!
That and they use salt on the roads in Indiana .If you lived in northern Indiana back then you were lucky to pay the car off before starting to rust out
probably $80k to $100k if it done right. if car owner can do the restoration by him self of course it be way cheaper . probably worth $300k to $400k cuz there only 30 with automatic transmissions
car is worth to much to be driven hard . it be dumb there to much value in that car .if this car was driven hard in 70's it wouldn't be here now . we need to thanks the guys didn't drive them old classics cars just saying
I have an original 1969 dated square port aluminum intake if you want to restore this rare gem and get rid of that crazy '70s aftermarket intake with the carb at a crazy angle. We were told it was a hot setup back then, but the fact they stopped making them proves otherwise and a car this rare should be restored to factory stock parts.
i had a 67 ,later had a 69 - 1st gen camaros could be bought straight and running for a few hundred bucks (a lot of money) when they were several years old
Lol. I had nine of the first gens in different trims. The most expensive one was a 69 Z28 with a bad motor for $995. The next one was a 67 SS/RS with a 350 for $695. They were just used cars. My friends used to troll on me for driving old cars. And this was from ‘74-‘79. Sometimes I could kick myself.
While I can appreciate the piece for what it is I have no interest in buying something this rare. Think about it... for the cost of a ZL1 COPO Camaro or a Don Yenko COPO Camaro you can have half a dozen real nice examples of muscle cars that are solid runners and you could use them for what they were meant for.... driving
Agreed !! One of my motivators when i was younger was this car and my quest to get one some day... i decided after losing my shop in 2015 that i would rather have an average one and tweek it myself. and buy many more for the price of one. getting old makes you get real or work hard tryin'
How many 69 copos do you see with aluminum 427 I know where one is at the original owner has it it was gifted to him by General Motors because he was the original patterns designer of the 427 aluminum block it came out of Hoover vacuum cleaner plant where the heads were cast and the blocks were cast in Canton Ohio I should actually say designed they were casted winners Foundry in Canton Ohio and he has two spear Motors
I have a 1969 Chevelle SS396 325HP bench seat auto survivor car with 78k miles. All original drivetrain, paint and body, and interior. Silver with black interior and black vinyl roof with original bill of sale and protecto plate.
69 yenko nova with 427/425 was faster than a 69 yenko camaro..yenko nova went 0-60 in 4.7 seconds...with drag slicks and open headers the true horse power over 500 hp and theres les than 10 in existance.they made under 40 yenko novas with 427/425 hp engine
Lee Rider there's an online club of owners where people have tried to figure out how many are left, alot of the dudes who own these things don't use the Internet alot though
Please oh please oh please,if you're going to restore this car,do it to factory specs. It just gets my goat when these clods take a classic muscle car and put the roll bar and recaro buckets in,tub it out in back and put the roll bar,slicks,the LS3 and the B&M shift kit in it and call it a restoration. Resto-mods suck. You wanna resto-mod something? Do it to an old Ford Pinto.

Yenko wasn't the only dealer that messed with the order forms, a dealer called Nickeys Garage did basically the same thing, as well as Baldwin motion in North Carolina
Mord Fustang it was nikey Chevrolet, I think you're confusing it with Nick's garage. And Baldwin-Motion was in long island New York
Baldwin Motion was in New York
gotta love the classic alluminum rims
Loved the car and video
Very cool find! How do you hear about all these super rare cars you do videos on? Do people contact you or are you plugged into the inner circle? Like you, I am obsessed with these special conversion cars. I did a trip last July to the northeast starting in PA to pick up a bunch of NOS parts I hunted down as well as a 70 Nova SS originally from Berger Chevrolet. Needless to say, I stopped at the old Yenko dealership in Canonsburg. Man was it awesome seeing the old building. Plans for the Nova are to do a special conversion replica car.
The color is Fathom Green code 57
#57 paint code is fathom green poly
Just Awesome , gave me goosebumps !!
drove past his dealership everyday on my way to work,had all the 427s parked behind the shop,any color you wanted,$3,200 got you one,today,around $250,000
Also, just in reference to all '69 Camaro's. If the VIN starts with 1243, it means it came with a V8 but doesn't designate which V8.
If the VIN number starts with 1234 it means it came with a straight 6. There was only one of those.
It's just the 3rd digit, the first two digit denote it was made for the US market, the 3rd is the engine, and the 4th is the body type coupe or convertible. If it had a V8 in a first gen you can't confirm with the VIN what engine it came with or if was a base, RS, SS, or Z\28.
Keep that intake! It’s perfect for mid range, I still use them even today.
What will happen with this yenko? Great find
They will not restore it. Instead they will clear over the dust and rat turds for authenticity
This guy sounds just like Matthew David McConaughey !
drm315 I commented the same thing. I hadn't even read your comment yet!
Definitely! I was scrolling down to say the same thing
My girlfriend said thats a complement!
drm315
It's his dad.
Alright, alright, alrigggghhht
i am guessing it was in the hills around Batesville Greensburg area. Saw one 20 years ago next to an orange chevelle. nobody would answer the door. lol imagine that
I see the big block intake looks like its a torker open plenum 360 degree edelbrock manifold, i had a smallblock torker for my hipo 68 covette 350 sbc in my 1/2 ton big window 4 speed m-22 rock crusher 12 bolt 411 gear chevy truck i used to street race back in 85"!!!!
I can't wait to see her finished
Is the current owner interested in possible negotiations of this piece?
Awesome sir. Do you think they would be interested in web ave magazine exposure?
Great find, bit used for a car on the road for a short time and many years stored
Jim Clarke 8 years was a long time to race a car back then lol so that’s normal unless it was bought and parked.
looks like it was a street car
That and they use salt on the roads in Indiana .If you lived in northern Indiana back then you were lucky to pay the car off before starting to rust out
Amazing car!!
Too bad the owner couldn't have taken better care of it, can't imagine the cost of restoration.
probably $80k to $100k if it done right. if car owner can do the restoration by him self of course it be way cheaper . probably worth $300k to $400k cuz there only 30 with automatic transmissions
Awesome find, it looks bad just setting there. 🇺🇸 MERICA
Great find
How do you keep finding these rare cars???
Man! This car is gonna be so cool when its done! I hope its done right and they drive it hard! Not put away like an old stamp.
car is worth to much to be driven hard . it be dumb there to much value in that car .if this car was driven hard in 70's it wouldn't be here now . we need to thanks the guys didn't drive them old classics cars just saying
It never hurts to ask, so I'm going to ask Can I Have It?
Seriously this is an awesome find...
That Camaro wants to be totally restored!😊
did they come with that intake and those valve covers from yenko?
Nice color that and a Yenko copo
I have an original 1969 dated square port aluminum intake if you want to restore this rare gem and get rid of that crazy '70s aftermarket intake with the carb at a crazy angle. We were told it was a hot setup back then, but the fact they stopped making them proves otherwise and a car this rare should be restored to factory stock parts.
I'll sell it for $500 if interested
Wow everyone finds Yenko camaro,novas and chevelles these days.
It came with that intake and holley carb ? It's funny how it sits crooked on the intake like that
Don't know if any other intake companies made similar manifolds, but Edelbrock Torkers were made like that.
Patrick are you going to sell the rims off the front?
Any tips for finding cars like these?
Tim Allen owns one of these green 69 427 Camaro Yenko Copo.
Sweet find...!! an original car.. What about the yellow Chevelle next to it???
a car like this needs a 1000% restoration
alright alright alright
chris lawrence I know what you mean. Lol
Dazed and Confused
He actually sold 502, herd it in a old interview right from the man himself.
i had a 67 ,later had a 69 - 1st gen camaros could be bought straight and running for a few hundred bucks (a lot of money) when they were several years old
Lol. I had nine of the first gens in different trims. The most expensive one was a 69 Z28 with a bad motor for $995.
The next one was a 67 SS/RS with a 350 for $695.
They were just used cars. My friends used to troll on me for driving old cars. And this was from ‘74-‘79.
Sometimes I could kick myself.
is that off set carb intake a factory item that came with the engine ?
BENNIEDARRELL no sir
The only thing I ever found in a barn was a BIG pile of horse shit.😆 Hard to believe people would have such iconic cars just rusting away.
What are your plans for it ?
Did that one have the front disk brakes? As for Yenko vs Baldwin Motion??...Id take a Baldwin Motion car hands down over the Yenko's...
Fathom Green, same as my 69 Chevelle
Yes sir
This is all great,but at the end of the day...what is this car really worth in this condition...I mean whats really left of this car?jjust sayin
Hea, it's Rad Thibodeaux
Does the motor turn
While I can appreciate the piece for what it is I have no interest in buying something this rare. Think about it... for the cost of a ZL1 COPO Camaro or a Don Yenko COPO Camaro you can have half a dozen real nice examples of muscle cars that are solid runners and you could use them for what they were meant for.... driving
Agreed !! One of my motivators when i was younger was this car and my quest to get one some day... i decided after losing my shop in 2015 that i would rather have an average one and tweek it myself. and buy many more for the price of one. getting old makes you get real or work hard tryin'
He means fathom green 57-57 not forest green
How many 69 copos do you see with aluminum 427 I know where one is at the original owner has it it was gifted to him by General Motors because he was the original patterns designer of the 427 aluminum block it came out of Hoover vacuum cleaner plant where the heads were cast and the blocks were cast in Canton Ohio I should actually say designed they were casted winners Foundry in Canton Ohio and he has two spear Motors
Do u have any other unrestored muscle Cars for sale? Ls6 Chevelle? T/A challenger?
I have a 1969 Chevelle SS396 325HP bench seat auto survivor car with 78k miles. All original drivetrain, paint and body, and interior. Silver with black interior and black vinyl roof with original bill of sale and protecto plate.
69 yenko nova with 427/425 was faster than a 69 yenko camaro..yenko nova went 0-60 in 4.7 seconds...with drag slicks and open headers the true horse power over 500 hp and theres les than 10 in existance.they made under 40 yenko novas with 427/425 hp engine
So how many are left............outta the 201 and some ???
Lee Rider there's an online club of owners where people have tried to figure out how many are left, alot of the dudes who own these things don't use the Internet alot though
Add in the fact of all the Yenko clones out there also.... I would be interested in knowing how many are left.
Rare car !
Just saw a really nice one go for $250.
Please oh please oh please,if you're going to restore this car,do it to factory specs. It just gets my goat when these clods take a classic muscle car and put the roll bar and recaro buckets in,tub it out in back and put the roll bar,slicks,the LS3 and the B&M shift kit in it and call it a restoration. Resto-mods suck. You wanna resto-mod something? Do it to an old Ford Pinto.
In your next video can you say alright, alright, alright
You sound like Matthew McConaughey
There is a blue 1969 Yenko Camaro in Rhode Island. That the person who owns it states that it was ordered with WHITE interior...

Ya with those M/T covers,haha
I’m guessing the heirs were just itching to sell this car knowing the decedent was just sitting on it / doing nothing with it.
This fella sounds like Bruce from family guy .
