Camaros by Train

Agree, the haulers look the same.
Unless that Firebird was a special order color, it was most likely Carousel Red.

...and the 4th one back is the same Orange ("RED"). What are the chances both would be the same special order color...

The first photo B&W includes one of each color from the first 50 X66 coded cars 10 each DY HO LB FG OG. PLUS a Garet Red or Fathom Green Yenko Nova. The one on the truck is a Daytona Yellow X66 - yellow rockers and gill trim. I have wondered aloud in Dave Beem's presence if this may be his car, which is one of the first 10 DY cars plus his was transferred by truck in the winter to Gates, Indiana and his also has yellow rockers, one of the other X66 DY yenkos has black rockers (the yet to be found much photographed drag car) 

Imagining that photo in color...snow on the ground and a bunch of purdy Yenkos on a BEAST of a hauler. lol I'm thinkin' someone with photoshop skills and your talents, James, could make some AWESOME Christmas cards!

So the bottom one in the belly is Olympic Gold I take it, 'cause of the black stripe and the one in the rear, below the Nova is LM Blue?

Here is one with 1967 model year Camaros and a Corvette and one with 1969 Camaros.  I thought I had more first generation photos but it turns out I have multiple photos with later generation Camaros.  I'll keep looking.

The first post has a yellow car on the bottom. Looks like a Vega wagon to me.

Autoracks did not need fully enclosed sides since in that Day,,,,,,,(Can not comment why);;;;

Yenko.net had a bunch of rail photos but most - all are gone now

At first glance, it does...but IT CAN'T BE!!  Dunno what it is...

Scott (SMK), great photos, thanks!

There were dealers that ordered cars in special colors; kind of a signature of sorts. Not saying that's the case here, but a possibility.

It does look similar to Dana Orange, did they do Pontiacs too ?

I honestly think it's Carousel Red (Hugger Orange) and just appears lighter from the sunlight angle and possibly the photo as well.

There were Olympic Gold, Lemans Blue, and Hugger Orange cars with both white and black Yenko stripes I believe the only colors with a single stripe color were Daytona Yellow with black and Fathom Green with white. I am not sure if any non Vtop Ralley Green cars had a black stripe or not.

I'm pretty sure there was a fathom green Yenko done with black stripes.

[Gars68Tux]

Okay guys, thanks. I guess 3 out of the 5 are pretty obvious what color they are. The Oly Gold and LM Blue are difficult to distinguish in B&W. Plus the Nova!

[bkhpah]

There was one Fathom green/black stripe Yenko, and a Daytona yellow/white stripe version built...BKH

Here is another photo featuring 1969 Yenko's on a truck transporter.

It came from the Old Dealership Photos Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2120630181518995/

But there is a reason why there wasn't any hubcaps on those cars. lol

We had a train stop area here and things were stolen all the time. That is how a good friend gave me a bucket of parts his Dad had collected back in the late 60’s forward that included battery hold down clamps which showed dip painted. Seems he found stuff like the clamps due to people stealing the batteries  and just tossing the clamp to the ground.
