Re: Yenko memorabilia and Thorstad Chevrolet
Joe I agree Chris is a first rate guy, BUT that does not give people the right to sell these signs as legit. I have been in the old Yenko Canonsburg store, the McMurray store and even Yenko Honda and other buildings. I was given access to Dons personal office, the storage buildings, and even the attics at Canonsburg looking for treasures, and there were lots of very neat items. I NEVER EVER saw a light up Yenko sign. This was in the days when most people could care less about Yenko cars let alone the memorabilia. IMO these are nothing more than a novelty item, but the seller made some grey claims about Canonsburg etc. I would hang them in may place but not as original memorabilia. Ebay is full of BS items and sellers. I have seen more Yenko crap on ebay than I care to see. Real Yenko items like a lighted sign with heritage would command high bucks. Seeing two signs like these hit the bay in one week is extremely unlikely. Sorry if I am stepping out of bounds here, and if Chris is happy with them so be it. ..BKH
