Rick Barratt Indy 69 Gold Yenko SS/D
This Gold 69 Yenko camaro was bought new by Rick Barratt at Nankivell Chevrolet in Indy. It was campaigned in NHRA SS/D in Division 3 and ran at the 1970 US Nationals in Indy. We are currently looking for more vintage pictures and information on this car. (we have the car just looking for information).

Re: Rick Barratt Indy 69 Gold Yenko SS/D
Is this a Yenko or COPO? I can't identify Yenko emblems or markings from this picture. ZL-1? I seem to remember Nankivell had a handfull of ZL-1's lined up in the front row by the highway. Slow sellers as I remember. There was a guy on the east side of Indy (Mike Strange?) that had a gold 69 Yenko Camaro 427. Street car that became an A/MP with a clutch-flite from M&M. Flat towed no less!

Its a Yenko that the original owner Rick Barratt removed all the yenko emblems and stripes and raced the car. They only made 10 olympic gold yenko camaros this is the only one Nankivell Chevrolet sold.

Re: Rick Barratt Indy 69 Gold Yenko SS/D
Haven't seen or heard of Mike since about 1970 or so. I was 19/20 then and now not 100% sure of his last name. I believe I have it right. I went with them a few times to the IRP and Muncie strips. Tri-State or Edgewater in Ohio too. Still got a couple hedgy tales about Mike, his car, his buddy, his business and his girl friend. Probably not suitable for public consumption though! There is a tale about the last time I saw the car too. Nothing that would do anybody any good now. Just car crazy hooligans and their hot rods! Damn those were fun times!

Re: Rick Barratt Indy 69 Gold Yenko SS/D
Sorry, no pics that I can recall. I don't think it would have been impossible for him to have gotten it direct from Yenko. More than one guy from Indy went to the likes of Mr. Norm's or Baldwin (Motion) for their cars back then. I heard a rumor of one who went to Phoenix for a 401 Gremlin from Randall AMC. True or not? Dunno.
