I believe the car was a no sale at the Mecum Kissimmee auction in January so it may still be in CO with Wayne.

Thanks. Here is a video from Minnesota Dragways that I found on FB and his car can be seen several times in the background. Can be seen at 3:49, 6:13 and 6:30. This was when the original owner of the Yenko (who's name escapes me but I think it was Bruce) owned it. Other cars such as &quot;The Impossible Dream&quot; can be seen on there as well.

It was! I lived at this drag strip as well as North Star Drag strip in my teen years running these two cars though neither have EVER shown up on any videos or still shots and we raced EVERY weekend. Great times indeed.

Re: Info on 69 Yenko Chevelle
 

Wayne no longer owns the Yenko. As I recall it was a great car.

The original owners name is Dennis. I was told he looked at the car several times on the showroom floor at Grossman, with out buying the car. A sharp salesman took the car off the show floor and parked it in a remote area. When Dennis came back he told him the car was sold. After telling the salesman he would have bought it. He finally did. He took very good care of the car. On the last week end of racing at North Star. He offered me the car and trailer for $6,000 bucks. I was about $5,900 short. Earl
