Two friends and I have a 1968 Corvette race car that was raced by Don Yenko in the 1979/1980 time period. The car was converted to a race car in 1970 in New York City and raced throughout the eastern US in the 70s.
In 1978, Kim Mason, a Manager for Yenko Chevrolet, bought the car and he and Don Yenko raced it throughout 1979 and 1980, including at the 1980 24 hours of Daytona – car number 16. (Results of the race can be found on the Internet by searching on International Motorsports Association and going to the classicscar link for the old results – not to the current IMSA web site.) A picture of the car with Yenko driving at Mid-Ohio is in the December/January, 1981 issue of Corvette News. It has a log book dating to 1972.
The car is listed on Ebay, item # 180303893890 with more info in the Ebay write-up. Following the guidelines in the post on ads, my contact info is listed below. The starting price on the Ebay ad is $25,000 and we will sell it for $50,000 and close the Ebay listing. If you are interested, please call me for more info and/or take a look at the car in Marietta, OH.
