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.

What was the name of his company Markus?

[JoeC]

Yenko had fiberglass parts made by a few places
Two were Parrish Plastics and Perfect Plastics Industries both were in PA.
I have parts from these two companies

I was told one of the companies was a racing buddy of Don's who made shower stalls and many other fiberglass parts and worked with Don on making racing parts and production parts for Don's projects

That seemed to be Don's M O .. He would pull favors from any direction he could. Kind of like the Atlas wheels

I asked about the molds and he said they were thrown away years ago.

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