Not allot of Vega info???

[snydes]

Hello! My 1st post here, I wandered over here from Team Chevelle. A friend of mine is exploring the possibility that a Vega he found may be a Yenko car. I am trying to find any info to help him verify if it is or is not, but the info seems to be almost non-existant. I couldn't even find a post about a Vega when I searched the board! Anybody able to guide me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Steve

Is your buddy from Lebanon, PA? Someone from that area recently posted this thread: Click Here

Wow, I wonder why that didn't come up in my search? I must have done something wrong. Yea, that is definitely the car my friend told me about, but he is a friend of one of the family members, not the one who started that post. Interesting.

Hi Marlin, how you been? We had a discussion over at Team Chevelle a long time back about a blue duece's in the Lebanon/Pine Grove area. Where exactly is this Klingers at? I'm not from Pine Grove, but I'd like to check out this yard.

Yep! That blue deuce discussion hit a dead end, then it grew legs again in MD, now it's at another dead end. That Blu-Deu went from York - Tremont - Lebanon - Manheim - Baltimore - ?? It had at least 6-8 owners by '76, the last owner in MD died, and his brothers don't know what happened to it.

Klingers is on Bird Hill Road, lots of Novas - but they are pretty picked over now. Has this gem of an L78, TH400, w/ F41 remnant in 'the wall'!

Here's an original pic from Don's estate, showing a brand new Yenko Vega that was to be used as a promotional photo at the time. Note the front chin spoiler and rear deck spoiler, as well as the black Yenko badges on the fenders.
