Re: 1966 Corvette purchased-modified from Yenko Chev
Thanks ALL for the excellent replies.
I have looked at most of the information mentioned (need to get the back issue of Corvette Fever magazine). Here is some more history on the 66 Corvette. The car was originally white according to the data plate (currently it is red) and it did have a 427 hood and a 350 ci replacement engine and 4 speed transmission (not the M22) 16 years ago at the time of purchase. The hood was replaced with a 327 ci standard version hood and the 350 ci engine was replaced with a 327 ci corvette engine of the correct year etc. but missing the matching vin (unfortunately). The car has both the soft and hard tops. Most recent history on the car is a person has looked at the car after doing some research in finding its current location (MD). He stated it was from Yenko Chevrolet when new where it was also was modified for racing including a roll bar and a short racing type windshield. The car was raced for a few years. A few pictures of the car that were taken during its racing period were shown and that is why I am inquiring as I was given information I didn't know anything about until recently. I can't distinguish if the car ever had these modifications and if it was returned to a modified stock car afterward.
