1970 Yenko Corvette?
 

Hi Everyone, new to the site, I'm a huge fan of Yenko cars in general and I understand the Super Cars are completely different from the cars sold at the dealership. This is where I need your guys help...
I recently came across a supposed 1970 &quot;Yenko dealer sold&quot; corvette out in Minnesota, which interests me and adds to the &quot;cool&quot; factor and an interesting conversation piece, not necessarily adding a dollar value. When we ran the NCRS shipping data report and found it was actually shipped to a neighboring dealer in the PA area, The dealer code is believed to be zone 13-864 based on poor quality micorfiche. The build date is 1/29/1970. Weaver Chevrolet, Oil City, PA. The dealer in Minnesota spun it and said it was more than likely a dealer transferred car for someone who wanted these options and it then went to Yenko Chevrolet. Seeing its so close to Canonsburg, this doesn't seem out of the question, but documentation is everything. It's listed in the C3 Registry as a documented Yenko sold corvette. Unfortunately there is no other documentation found at this time, other than a weathered metal Yenko badge in the rear and an original Yenko rear bumper sticker in the folder (not yet used on the car). Is there any way to authenticate this was sold through Yenko Chevrolet? 1970 Corvette convertible L46 350/350HP M21 4 speed Green on Green VIN- 194670S402092 / Does anyone know of this car? Any information or guidance here is much appreciated, thanks in advance. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I think the bible is the delivering dealer of record, Weaver Chevrolet. Unless someone can produce a bill of sale showing Yenko on it, you may have reached a dead end. Your car is a good car, I've had many 350/350 horse Corvettes. I don't know if a documented Yenko heritage would make a difference in the value. Look for a tank sheet, it probably confirms Weaver as the dealer, also.

I know where there's a totally original Motion Corvette stashed away in a barn, been sitting 30+ years, complete with flat tires and 3inches of dust [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

That's nice to know.

Sounds like a nice car, hope the Yenko lineage proves to be correct. I think it adds to the car even of not a &quot;Supercar&quot;

Anybody have any information on Weaver Chevrolet. A nice dealer badge from there would sit nice on the back of my next Chevelle............

Hi Guys, I'm trying to get a hard copy of the rear bumper sticker, but he said it's a Yenko logo similar to the emblem but much larger. I thought it would read &quot;Yenko Tuned&quot; or something... Anyway, I'm pressing these guys to dig a little deeper. Again, this isn't to necessarily create more value with the car, though it may, it's more of a cool factor and a conversation piece without the six figure price tag associated with the Yenko Super cars... Perhaps one day I'll actually be looking at a Yenko Super car to purchase but until then I'm in the Yenko sold realm.

Thanks again for all your guys' feedback, I know this is not your average post on the Yenko site... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Oil City isn't close to Canonsburg. That's almost two hours away.
I don't know when Weaver went out.
Crivelli has been the dealer in the area for years. I just found my pics of a Corvette show there in the early 80's.

Been a while since I've been on the forum, thought I'd follow up from my original post. The POP / warranty book and other dealer related docs ended up being with the car and did in fact derive from Yenko Chevrolet. It also had an original license frame &quot;Corvette by Yenko&quot;, which I have never seen before, along with the original pitted metal yenko badge on the back (not repop). I plan on holding on to her for years to come and has made an interesting conversation piece while on the road.
