Re: Yenko at Daytona
The car in question was indeed a 68, not a 69. My brother has a few photos of Don standing in front of this car in victory lane. Car was #11, and was sponsored by BEST Photography. As for the "replica" advertised for sale at Nankivell, I would guess your friend is right, and they are actually referring to a 69 Indy 500 pace car replica, as this dealer was based in Indianapolis and would have had an easy time getting a few pace cars. In fact, Nankivell reportedly took delivery of a large number of the '67 Indy 500 festival cars, Camaros, big Chevrolets, trucks, etc. Perhaps they even had a '67 pace car there they were referring to in the ad.
