Re: Original Yenko Treasures unearthed!
It IS actually amazing how much of this stuff survived... thank goodness Don Yenko was a packrat and so were his employees! I almost didn't believe much more could still be out there undiscovered, but now I'm glad I kept digging... I even have the original title and signed sales agreement for his 1964 Beechcraft F-34 airplane (complete with photographs of the plane!) as well as his official resume, personal letters to the SCCA, photos of Don with Zora Duntov, photos of Yenko's L88 Vettes, Grand Sport, Yenko Camaros, and a ton of other neat stuff. I'm actually still sorting through it as I type. ALMOST as cool as finding a Yenko sitting in the weeds behind a barn.

Re: Original Yenko Treasures unearthed!
Joe,
Once again it has been a pleasure seeing a small section of your collection. Many, including myself, try just to amass a small taste of your entire groupings. Congrats on the find, you certainly deserve it. -Dan

Re: Original Yenko Treasures unearthed!
Joey NEVER stops amazing me. When he told me about yet ANOTHER find my jaw dropped. This guy has a lucky horse shoe up his a$$! The only way I can justify this whole thing is that Don Yenko's spirit lives in Joeys basement and he wants to be reunited with EVERY earthly possession that he ever had!
 Simply friggin amazing.  Joey. you HAVE to post a picture of the Don Yenko "suicide" photo!

Re: Original Yenko Treasures unearthed!
Absolutely amazing find Joe! I thought that pretty much anything and everything that would ever be unearthed of Don's likely had been. Guess not! Just goes to show you again, never give up! Looks like you will be needing more table space at the reunion............

Re: Original Yenko Treasures unearthed!
I was gonna save these for the reunion, but since Frankie brought it up... dig these publicity shots... Its hard to see in the scans, but Don is holding up a Pittsburgh Press newspaper headline about the new gas shortage. He's got a gun to his head, with headline in hand, pretty symbolic of the end of the Yenko/Supercar era...
