How Many Where Original Yenkos??

[copolocater]

No. 1 There is no way to count,calculate or even put together a list of all remaining original engine yenkos.You would have to pay a guy like Kurt, or someone knowledgable in deck stamping , to travel the country for the next 5 years to physically look at each individual car.So lets get serious the question is unanswerable.No. 2 If you owned a yenko with a non matching motor you'd try your hardest to explain to the guy your selling it to that it isn't worth any less than a matching No. car it's the body that counts and the paperwork.I personally don't concern myself with it ,I'm more concerned the car was saved.As was stated numerous motors were exploded after purchase.As was learned last year with a matching motored yenko that was exploded the second day of purchase reappeared with a matching motor and nobody ever suspected until the original owner showed up.Wether it has an original motor the only time some people care is if they are purchasing the car. Evidently there must be some sort of mystery because sixtiesmuscle already stated it's impossible to tell and that wasn't acceptable. I'll try to answer any question reasonably,but if it's going to create some controversy like this one I'm done.
