In following the journey and his devotion to Chevrolet, both on the track & working with some active dealerships, many names appear that can be associated with “Mr. Chevrolet.”

The clipping in this thread largely involves a time, information, and names that can be associated while in St. Louis.

Having competitive cars carrying a sponsors carrying their is an effective way to advertise your hi-performance product as many fans & participants at the drag strips. Watching their performance, often the selling point for those young of heart.

'Yenko Super Camaro Dealers' and Dick Harrell received a lot of exposure in 1967 when DH did a one wheel - wheel stand and it was all over the magazines and news papers including on covers.

It was also in "Drag Racing Photo Greats" as one of the top photos, back in the day

Are these two cars known to exist?:dunno:

Yes, both exist and are currently in the Midwest. Very interesting history on both cars and they are technically mirror opposites of each other . One is black with red interior non RS and the other is red on black RS. Both have been featured at MCACN.

In Dick Harrell’s invoices to Don Yenko, they had a heading of “Harrell and Sanders Automotive.”

In the early going of the 409-427 era researching of the ties between Harrell & Sanders, both of these men were highly competitive in the Southwest region being present in the winners circle as drag racers of the 409-Z-11 competition era.

Frank Sanders was creator and owner of S&S headers. He was the person who is credited for campaigning a Z-11 first to top the 120 mph plateau.
