The original owner of this Yenko, Rick Barratt, was a regular in National Dragster Magazine back in the 1970s. This car was even talked about in several issues. Max Gasser (Killer name) was the 2nd owner said he found the car listed forsale in National Dragster when he bought the car. We are currently on the hunt for Rick Barratt's forsale ads in National Dragster. We dont know the exact dates of publication yet but assume Late 1971 early 1972 National Dragster. Anyone have a collection of early 70s National Dragster Magazines please keep a lookout for a forsale ad for the "Motivation" Yenko.

Going over details of the car before the car gets stripped.

We have found an unusual amount of original grey primer on the firewall down to the toe-boards.

Floor pan towards the rocker panels Gold Black and Grey overspray.

Original transmission tunnel blackout.

Rocker panel blackout over the original Olympic Gold Paint.

Love the detail pics. I wonder what the 341M designates? My heater box had 341E inspection sticker.
