Yenko Vega

Were settling my dads estate, and he left his girlfriend what he always called a yenko vega. Now I know that sounds to good to be true, but its a 1972 and he knew about cars. What should I look for that would verify that it is a yenko?

Does it have a dealer on the back, possibly from one of these dealers?:

LeFever Chevrolet, Millersburg, PA
Marshall Chevrolet, Reading, PA
Country Chevrolet, Tremont, PA
Klinger Chevrolet, Sacremento, PA

How does your Vega compare to this (raced prepped) Yenko Vega?

I had the chance to take a couple of shots at R&S before the new owner took possession. Should have bought it when it was offered to me a few months ago.

I just looked under the hood, I always thought yenkos had a V8, once I saw the 4 banger, I really didnt look any farther. Didnt notice if it had any dealer name on it. Its orange with a big black stipe down the center. Ill get some more info later.

Valve covers were also a catalog item, as were the stripes and other options. Did you get the vin# info?
