Default Re: Just saw this in Old Cars Weekly

The car has obviously had at least a partial repaint, and the stripes look to have been painted back on it, sans any Yenko wording on the 1/4 panel stripes, and some artistic freedom expressed in the layout of the stripes themselves. orange overspray is also seen in the front fenderwells, which indicates a repaint in that area as well...the hood decal stripe does look to be original. More than a few documented cars didn't get any sYc logos on the headrests, and many more were removed by the owners on day 2. Emblem placement varied from car to car, and some didn't get any at all... there's really not one "correct" way they were built, as plenty of variations to the Yenko add-ons have been documented. The grill looks to have been replaced, or at least has been painted black, as it would have originally been silver, shifter is not original, etc... while it may not have been touched in 25 years, it has obviously had some work done to it since new. With that said, it is still an awesome discovery.
