Finally we have proof of the Yenko finned aluminum valve covers existance. Check out the engine compartment pics dated 1/97.

Is this Chevelle a legit car?

I think this story is BS. The date on the camera looks like it was done with PSP or Photoshop, the periods are too square and pixilated. Additionally it looks like it has a SUN Super Tach II which would not be original for a 69 car sold new. I think the VC were added, maybe when the motor was freshened up. It may be a real Yenko, but not everything here is as it was when sold new.

I think the 1/1/97 is the default date on the camera. Where would you see trees in full green in January, in the northern hemisphere [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sixties,
How many more sets of those do you have?

It looks to be Jerry Janota's old car, Nankivell Chev. sold it new, optioned as a/t, am, v/t, r/a, bus, & p/s. Car must have been recently repainted, I thought it was red for many years.

if you click to view more pictures then click on FAQ he states that the valve covers are not original

I talked to the orignal owner of George Lyons Yenko Chevelle at Pigeon Forge last week and he told me that they did sell some Yenko Chevelles at Nankivell. He said they had a couple on the lot but he opted to buy the Yellow one at another dealership, it may have been Gates Chevy but I cannot remember for sure.
