Very sharp. Who makes this one? A few other questions...

- Is that 'Fanthom Green'? ...that's how it looks on my monitor. It's rare to see a dark-painted body with 'black' stripes.

- Sometimes Yenko put Corvette rally-wheels on their cars and sometimes they put '5-spoke' American-Mags on. Was 'that' a customer option?

The answers: The decal on the quarter glass is a Yenko emblem with the word TUNED below it. The correct color name is Fathom Green, and I think only 1 Fathom Green car had Back stripes (harder to see for the street competition?). Most of them originally did come with rally wheels, with the Atlas 5 spokes a Yenko dealer option. In todays world way more of them have the 5 spokes than actually did come with them, as they are so cool. Hope that answers the questions. Oh, and we (Supercar Collectibles) had them made for us by Highway 61. Thanks for the read.

Recently returned from Canada where some pronounced decal as "deekl" rather than "dee-cal." (-:

I say it the Canadian way now.

My 71 Chevelle was a dark green named Antique Green and it came with black stripes.

I didn't like the look so I painted the strips white. Dont have a photo of the black stripes.
