Thank you for posting the photos. How many cars were part of the Yenko 50th Anniversary display?

Thank you,
Marty

It is the Mims' Vette. Sorry, no pics. The white and red Vette's, plus 2 racing Corvairs were there as well as a few new production Yenko Camaros. Three of them maybe. And another aluminum BBC off to the side that looked fun as hell and particularly scary.

I had a nice conversation with a man whose plastics company made the hoods for the Yenko Camaro.

The red Corvette was used by Gulf Oil Research as a parts development car for the cars raced by Dick Thompson and Don Yenko
