Re: Yenko Chevrolet trucks

I think the El Camino I`ve seen,and maybe the one others saw,was a well-built clone.As far as COPO orders go,the factory has done original one-off builds before.All COPO orders are considered on an individual basis.Not saying this is an example of this,but....When I ordered my`92 GMC SLE K3500 SRW,I spec-ed it out and got to the color.They weren`t offering the gold I had seen on Chevys and I had a gold`70 C/30 and`84 K/30.I decided it was time to change my scheme.I saw the Fleet color page.There was Woodland Green.This color has been in the line-up over all the years,but always in the Fleet selsction(Fleet color don`t change).The dealer said those were for fleet accounts only(10 or more per order).I asked,what if I had one of my fleet totaled?I can`t get one to replace it?They called the factory and asked and were told I can get it if I wait for five others in that color to be built.That took six weeks.Now,I`ll garauntee I have the only Woodland Green`92 GMC SLE K3500 SRW 6.5TD/5spd low-back vinyl bucket pickup built.
I have a truck to look at.The guy swears it has an original 427.Not sure what year`til I see it.These are guys that come up with some rare stuff.We`ll see.
