Identification of Origional YENKO Emblems, HELP!

[Unreal]

I bought one of the badges you mentioned, and it is very nice. However it is different than the painted Yenko badge. First, it is chromed, second, the background of the "YENKO" is pebbled, third, it installs with double faced tape, not posts. It was really just Yenko Chevrolet's dealer emblem, put on all cars leaving the dealership. It was also used on the 70 Deuce. Don't know why they stopped using the grey white and blue one...maybe so they would not have to drill holes? Marlin?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

That was one reason, it is impossible to put the nuts onto those pegs without removing the Nova's fenders - which means hood too. Another possible reason is that they didn't have any more of the '69 version, so they just painted up some of the regular car emblems. The '70 Yenko Novas have been found with the white '69 emblems, the chrome version painted about 3 different ways, the chrome version not painted at all, and quite possibly one car that did not get the emblems. We also know that one of the cars sold out of Yenko was on the lot without the Magnum wheels, just the XT's. So, none of this stuff is a science, just some high school kids making some extra money at night [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img]
