Info I have states the Karen Chev car N579385 was wrecked in a racing accident.

The car I found, N579434, was scrapped.

So looking at the numbers it seems like my car has the second lowest body number of the 10 and the second lowest Vin number of the 10. And as the research goes on the lowest body number car the Hult car is gone .

The Cliff Ernst OG car that was the drag test car from Yenko was not the first car ...in fact it is towards the bottom of the list of 10. The misconception of it being the first car is only because it stayed at Yenko Chevrolet while all of the others were shipped to the network dealers earlier.

The order/shipping sheets are really interesting on the early cars...seeing some 01B cars not shipping until February.

something odd and interesting, the Cliff Ernst OG car and the Hedrick Yenko had 1967 Corvette 427 numbers bolted on to the Chevy bowtie on the back of the car.

Was the Karen car wrecked at a track in Wind Gap, PA. Was told a story many years ago about 69 Yenko that was wrecked in a racing accident there. It lost control and hit some trees that lined the track, got me thinking now it could be true since the car was from NJ.

Our db entry from 1999 states it was wrecked at Mountain View Dragway in PA.

Mountain view dragway was in Wind Gap PA. Was told about the crash around 1993 by a fellow that was there when it happened. Don't know what year it was wrecked, Wish I could go back in time and ask more about it but at the time figured it was just a bunch of BS
