Tom,

-----Not knowing the Yenko lore as well as many of you guys,I have a question.It seems I remember that Yenkos were rated at 450HP.If this is true,did Don do anything to the cars to warrant the 25 extra horses?Did he change the carb or add headers or anything?I guess my point would be that I dont think Jack did HP mods at all,just badges,and stripes!I know Jack fairly well and the "bottom line" was always more important than anything else to him.If he could get the extra Yenko money for a few badges and a little vinyl then he was all for it.Jacks position would likely have been "why modify an already fast car and let ourselves in for all kind of warranty issues when we can sell it just like it is".Its not as if there were a whole bunch of other Yenkos around Chicago to compare to,as far as the horsepower modifications were concerned.
-----I hope none of this is misunderstood.As far as Im concerned the cars are(simply)the cars.They are all significant,just some are different than others,but the are all interesting(other than some burnished brown ones)!!!!!!!......Bill S
