Wasn't Luby part of the Yenko network? . Wasn't that '68 Yenko at Legendary a Luby car? . The 'Vette sounds great! ~ Pete

There were several Luby's in the Yenko network; Boston, MA, Forest Hills, NY, Cleveland, OH, & Miami, FL. I don't know if a Luby in CO was in the Yenko network.

I had a 61 Fuel injected Vette that I think was from Luby. It was a drag car raced by Judy Lilly that had set a few records.
