Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay/Second Thread

[55chevy]

You sure it's a Yenko and not a COPO? I don't see SYC on the seat headrests in that pic. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Just an observation.

It's definitely a Yenko, as Marlin noted, the Yenko 427 emblems are evident on the hood, in the "standard" Yenko location. I have heard there was more than one car that didn't get headrest decals, and they were easily removed anyhow, (as were the side stripes.) Something you probably can't see in the pic is that right below the "Bresee Chevytown" lettering on the door, it also has lettered "A YENKO DEALER". The pic is black and white, so your guess is as good as mine as to the actual color combo... but I would say there's as good chance its hugger orange as any...the tiger mascot in the passenger seat would be a good match with an orange car... just a thought. Mayor, i too noticed the trim on the 1/4 panels, but if you note, it also lacks black paint on the rockers, which an X66 car would also have...it COULD be an X44 car with the trim added... anything's possible. I'm not trying to say this is definitely the car in question, just a neat pic of a Bresee Yenko I dug out of my "archives", and one I thought you guys would enjoy looking at between arguing with each other [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Just a quick note....my Y Chevelle was delivered without SYC stickers on headrests.

Thanks for posting the picture Joe. I'm glad you did! Gotta love these old race photos!!! Please post more....if you have them. Prior to this Camaro Bresee raced a '68 Chevy II and before that a '65 Chevelle with a big block and a cross ram manifold. Any chance I could get you to make a copy of this photo for me? PM me. Any idea what track and date this was??

Thanks for the compliment...thats the only shot I have of that car...Sorry Mike, I don't generally make copies or reprints of anything in my collection, but at least I posted it here for you to see! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

I would love to see a pic of the 65 X-ram car since i have a 65 SS with a X-ram. I know they are not the same car but it is a less popular combination and would be neat to sea another!

Joe that is a really cool pic! Mark that as exibit 1 in the case of identifying Duanes car as a real Yenko! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Well if i can't get the orignal drivetrain back I will restore it to it's old glory with a ZL1.

Nothing wrong with an upgrade like that. I still can't believe that car has a Chrysler rear under it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] It's a shame if the original drivetrain exists but you can't get together with an agreement that would allow the car to be put back to it's original glory. I know a guy(who posts on this board once in a while) who found the original ZL1 engine for Ed Cunneen's ZL1 and he put the 2 people in touch with each other without looking for any profit for himself. That's what this hobby should be about. He could have easily bought the engine and then made a profit by selling it to Ed. I give a big [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] to Dan for all his research in finding that engine for Ed with no strings attached. Good luck with your Yenko Duane.
