Yenko aficionados will recognize this Hugger Orange 1969 Yenko Super Camaro as one of the best known, highest quality original examples in the world. Owned and carefully maintained by Don and Judi Stowers since 1987, it is one of the first 50 COPO 9561 cars ordered by Don Yenko in late 1968, and one of a total of 198 built in 1969. With only 19,750 miles currently on the odometer, the car still retains its original L72 427/450 HP engine, BE rear end, exhaust system, standard Black interior, two of the original tires and the never-used spare, and still wears most of its original paint. It is also accompanied by such valuable detail items as the original tune up specification decal, door jamb oil change sticker from Network Yenko Dealer, Francis Chevrolet, the carpet part number tag, tire pressure decal and power brake booster tag.
THE PILOT CAR OFFERED AT RUSSO AND STEELE’S 11TH ANNUAL SPORTS AND MUSCLE AT THE MARRIOTT AUCTION EVENT
The LS6 Chevelle was at the pinnacle of GM performance, and stood alone as the only vehicle to take top horse power rating over the Corvette in history. With a factory advertised 450 HP at 5600 RPMs and 500 lb-ft of torque at 3600 RPMs, it was the highest horsepower Chevelle offered from Chevrolet.
Known as the 'Pilot Car," this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 is the first of 4,475 RPO LS6 cars ever produced and is the earliest known and documented LS6 Chevelle. A GM executive ordered an LS6 coupe as his zone demonstrator in October and was told by the Baltimore plant manager Earl Prentice that he was to receive the first one built at that plant. Built on December 9th, 1969 it was labeled the 'Pilot car.' This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 has "Pilot job" and "if it had wings it would fly" hand written on the build sheet.

This was already a Survivor quality, rust free example; fresh from a full rotisserie restoration, it is now in sparkling Concours condition.

Throughout history, the Oldsmobile story has inspired many automotive historians with its rich and celebrated heritage which started right in Michigan’s capital city of Lansing.
I remember a particularly exciting year in 1978 when Oldsmobile introduced their new line of vehicles and automotive catalogues to the buying public. My first impression was that Oldsmobile was using 1978 to create a family-oriented lineup of new cars. The company used its advertising and marketing to highlight many traditional family values
The year 1966 was a great year for automotive sales in the U.S. Many car manufacturers were doing very well for the economy and in 1966 the average cost for a new Dodge vehicle sold for $ 2,280 and the price of gasoline for 32 cents a gallon.
The Chrysler Corporation was also doing very well within the automotive markets with its popular Dodge Dart models. The 1966 Dodge Dart models made their debut in Dodge dealerships on September 30, 1965.
