Salem is the home of Quaker City Dragway and is located in northeast Ohio, south of Youngstown and east of the Canton/Akron area. Just curious, what dealerships in Ohio sold Yenko's cars?

Steve:
The closest dealership to Salem would be Marve Minneman Chev, Youngstown, OH. They did sell at least one Fathom Green '69 Yenko Camaro.

There were 10 dealers in OH selling Yenko cars, they were:

Central Chev, Cleveland
Glockner Chev, Portsmouth
Hugh White Chev, Columbus
Joseph Chev, Cincinnati
Konners Chev, Columbus
Luby Chev, Cleveland
Marve Minneman, Youngstown
Central Motor Co, Hamilton
White Allen Chev, Dayton
White Chev, Lima

Regarding the 4 F. Green ones, I believe the Minneman car is found, and was originally sold without stripes. I am unsure about the other 3, 2 of which were out of White Allen Chev, Dayton and the 3rd one was out of Joseph Chev, Cincinnati. These 4 were all 4 speeds

Hope this helps,
Marlin

The Fathom Green Yenko Camaro is currently restored and has the stripes in white applied today. The car was at last years reunion. The car was delievered without stripes in 1969. It is an early X66 car. A rare combo today.

Thanks for the info. I was under the impression that the '69 Yenko Camaro that ran around Salem was with white stripes, but I could be wrong. I'll have to check into it a little more and I'll post an update.

Mopar Steve, I know of another Fathom Green Yenko Camaro from Minneman Chevrolet. It is alive and well in upstate NY, a.k.a. My Garage.
