Test and tune. Ed's race car and a gold demo car from the Yenko dealership. The Gold car is now part of Cliff Ernst's collection.

What a cool car! I wish it could be found and restored back to the Hedrick days.

Ed Hedrick is a really great guy to talk to, he attends the York US30 show in York, PA. He can tell you all kinds of neat things about that car, like the stripes!

Speaking of Ed, here's a cool original photo from my collection.... whats really neat about him is how he has an absolutely photographic memory about all those old races...At York he told me about racing with Grumpy, and specific races and events, all as if it happened yesterday... was amazing how many details he recalled about events that happened over 30 years ago! He really got into seeing the old pics and memorabilia I have of him and his car, and said that I have more pics of him and "that camaro" than he does! A really cool guy, was fun to talk to him!

I think that car ran at Tulsa one time.

Can't make it out on this pic.

Hello...don't know for sure, but when I worked for Cliff E., I often wondered if a particular X 66 Yenko was the Hedrick car. This particular Yenko was rescued from a location somewhere in Florida and Cliff got the car restored. Years later it was sold to Peter Klutt at what was then, "The Shelby Shop", later known as "Legendary Motorcars". He was brokering the car. We never knew for sure if this was Hedrick's car and really, I assume, Cliff didn't want to know. A similar situation occured when Gary H. bought a Yenko from Cliff and then, found out it was the "Preston - Lawrence" race car. There wasn't much said from Cliff about this. So I guess my point is Cliff could have had the Hedrick car and not seen any point in knowing for sure.

Mike, I do not think Cliff ever had the Hedrick car.

You see, once I became friends of the gang there at Cliffs, he had me register all of his Yenkos. But, at this time, only a couple of folks had seen the Yenko inventory sheet with Ed's car on it. Well, once I, and a couple of others got to see this sheet and a couple of others, there was the notation about the Hedrick car, as well as the Preston-Lawrence car, and two Gold demo cars. Cliff at one time owned three of the four special cars. Two Gold demo cars, as well as the Preston-Lawrence car. But, the sad part, Cliff had sold the unrestored Gold car to Randy Miller and the Prestion-Lawrence car to Holub before Brian Henderson discovered this information and told Cliff. Worse yet, at least for me, I had the chance to puchase either car. In fact, I had narrrowed down my choice to either the one I bought or the Preston-Lawrence race car. Of coruse, I had no idea that the "other" car was the former P-L car, as it had been restored as a nice driver.
