Default Re: An interesting Yenko story

Old racecars continue to excite me the most, especially if they are from an well known dealership involved in Chevrolet racing during the 60's. Many were repainted, and most were never jammed. When I found my car "Little Hoss", it still had (and still does) the original Royal Plum on the cowl, door jams, and underside of the trunk. I was told my repaint was done one Saturday, and it was probably raced the next day.

The above photo sure does look to be a lighter color than the rest of the car. It was probably put back on the street, but you never know, with the rear 1/4's cut, it may still be sitting in a garage, a tired old racecar. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
