Default Re: Meet the Mean Ones!

hard to say why Don did some of the things he did but also some things may have been directed by Chevy engineering. As Tom said Yenko was always thinking SCCA road racing and the Yenko Camaros were sort of like 427cuin Z/28s. Maybe Chevy engineering designed the car for high speed use like the COPO police cars which also had 140 speedos. Maybe Chevy wanted it in the COPO Camaro but then why didn't the Chevelle get the 140 speedo?
I am still trying to figure out why Don ordered rear antenna on the Yenko Chevelles.
