Yenko Backyard

[DarrenX33]

Any idea what the volume of the standard HP cars were? Wondering since Yenko's niche was COPOS if that had any effect on his volume for Z's and SS cars. Just curious cause with all the Yenko lot pictures I have seen you never see any of those in the background.

To be honest, i'm not really sure exactly how many Z/28s, SS, etc cars they sold during the musclecar heyday... i do know of several non COPO musclecars sold through yenko during that timeframe, including a few Z's, but as for actul numbers I don't know. I believe they actually sold alot more non COPO camaros directly through the Canonsburg dealership than 427 cars, as most of the supercars were shipped out to the network dealers across the US.

From the mid-60's through the early 70's Yenko Chevrolet was advertised as "Washington County's Largest Volume Corvette Dealer" and there are still a few Yenko sold mid-70's 'Vettes in the Pittsburgh area. It seems Yenko sold lots of base model pickups and utilty type vehicles as well, as the local blue collar Pittsburgh area demographic created a strong demand for these. CamaroJoe's got a letter from GM thanking Yenko Chevrolet for their continued success in moving large volumes of Chevrolet trucks lying around somewhere.
