The Lemans Blue 1969 Yenko Chevelle is Alive & Well, residing in Wisconsin... Still turning heads! She travels to the local carshows and cruises.
Enjoyed reading about her previous life and would appreciate learning more history about her.

My dad knows the car well. His buddy Jim owned the car for years. My dad had a 1969 Fathom Green Yenko Camaro at the same time. They raced them both together. When his buddy Jim got married they both used their Yenkos in the wedding. My dad said when the beer started flowing they changed from honking their horns to doing burnouts. He said it was a blast. My dad's Camaro was running 11.70's as a street car in the mid 1970's.

I don't know if its true or not, but my dad remembers Jim saying that he pulled and kept the original motor. That was something that he said fifteen to twenty years ago. Don't know if its true or not.
