Re: Help Me Find "THE JENKS" 1969 L78 L89 Chevelle SS
 

I met up with one of the Hinton's at US131 in June, and they have not found any VIN info yet:-(

Old thread but if you’re still on the case Ryan, here’s an 02/69 Denooyer Chevrolet Ad for a ‘69 ‘Velle L78 w/ Aluminum Heads noted that may be the subject ‘Jenks’ L89?:hmmm:
I lost track whether your friend bought it new or used at Denooyer but w/ few L89’s built, it’s likely the same car.:dunno:
:beers:

Guy pictured in the ad appears better suited to selling British sports cars in the 50's than American muscle cars in the late 60's :haha:

Same Sport-Nik oddball in their Ads for a few years but Denooyer was certainly into Performance!
Where’s that thread from a few months back w/ another Denooyer ‘Velle…’69 L78 Post?:hmmm:
:beers:

Wow Pete you found a jackpot here!!

I really think that add was for the Jenks. They bought it in Speing of 1970 so they were the second owner, not sure who was the first owner….

I know of a 325, or 350 HP 1969 300 Deluxe SS396 but not a 375 HP

I forgot this one was from Denooyer, I sent a note to the original owner of the LeMans Blue Denooyer 300 SS396 to see if he remembers Mike’s Fathom Green Denooyer 300 SS396 :-)

Seeing this thread again made me think of the PGN Barn Find 69 Chevelle SS396, DY, L89, 4 speed and it was in Ohio. I just dug it up online and watched part of it but it seems that car was originally purchased in the fall of 68 so probably not 'The Jenks'.

Ryan if you here back on from this gentlemen let me know !

Absolutely 100%
