Yenko Chevelle at Mecum Harrisburg
 

Greetings. It has been a while since I have made a post. I am hoping with the depth of info from the members here, someone has some additional background on this Yenko Chevelle that is running at Mecum Harrisburg.

https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/PA0...velle/4-Speed/

The auction listing is interesting. Can anyone add any additional details?

Thanks SYC!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Sharp. Someone knows how to handle a camera. The salesman's spelling was Howard <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Livezey</span></span> as he sold my former YENKO Nova to the Roofs. Howard sold another YENKO Chevelle to Tony Montini from Monaca, PA.

What's the VIN #?

Re: Yenko Chevelle at Mecum Harrisburg
 

Sounds like this one, a stick car as the story unfolds...

Is this VIN 136379B395089 or 136379B394778 or?

----Pete,,,The car at auction is a 3-pedal car, and the one in the old thread seems to be an automatic. As well, the two owner story wouldn't seem to corellate.....Bill S

Re: Yenko Chevelle at Mecum Harrisburg
 

I too was thinking 395089 (FG, 4sp, no v/t), but Sherk is listed as the original owner which conflicts with the Mecum description - not saying Yenko's Inventory Sheets are correct, but it's difficult to determine. The other possibility is 385667 (FG, 4sp, no v/t), but I'm not sure what dealer sold that one.

Either way, I don't have any info on either of these 2 cars, so it would be good to know the VIN of this one at the auction.

Re: Yenko Chevelle at Mecum Harrisburg
 

Is 136379B385667 known as Yenko delivered Marl?
As for the Sherk/Gresko names, did two 4-Spd. FG Yenko 'Velles end up in Wexford PA?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It belonged to a Auto Body Repair specialist that worked at McAfee Automotive on route 19 in Wexford, PA. Does anyone here own that car? It was a automatic car I believe. It did not have stripes on it then.</div></div>

Back in 2002, I had a hood painted at a body shop in Wexford on rt 19 near where I-79 crosses over. I was living in McCandles twp and working in Warrendale at the time. This was a collision repair on my Mustang GT.

I noticed a '69 Chevelle body shell in pieces in the back of the shop. I asked the guy about it, and he swore it was a real genuine Yenko that he owned since the early-1980s and was restoring.

I never thought much of it at the time. Lots of people claim a one-of-one/COPO/Yenko/Shelby/Motion whatever, and most are lying. Seeing this post and reading that other thread really makes me wonder....

We don't know where 385667 was sold from....

Re: Yenko Chevelle at Mecum Harrisburg
 

Thanks for clarifying Marlin!
As discussed here recently in another thread, other than some but not all Jack Douglass Yenkos, NCRS reports of any genuine Yenko converted Camaro/Nova/Chevelle VINs should come back Yenko regardless of dealer where final retail sale took place.
