Re: Douglass Yenko Emblem Placement
I was talking to a guy who used to have muscle cars but is now heavily into Porsche. He was telling me he used to own a yellow Yenko Camaro between 1973 to 1984. He bought it from the original owner who lived in Joliet IL. When he bought the car it was original but the owner put a small block in it because the big block ate to much gas. This was a stripped and emblemed, car the original motor was sitting in the corner of the garage. I asked him if the tach was on the column or in the dash, he said in the dash. This tells me it was more than likely a JD Yenko since all PA Yenkos sold out of JD were early cars. I am almost positive this car belongs to someone on this board. He believes he still has the vin number to the car and also has slides of the car, and will give them to me. I think most people agree that most JD cars came with some sort of Yenko identification on them. That means there werte probably 18 PA yenkos and maybe 20-23 JD Yenkos in the area. No matter what anybody thinks know back then they were Yenkos. I think this is why they are so well known in the midwest.
