Why is it people have to cut other people's cars? Yenko's did look just like a Chevelle with stripes when they were new, duh!!! Maybe because that is what they are. That is like saying your GTO looks just like a Tempest...with emblems!

Yeah, it is a real SS 396 auto on the column-bench seat car, just like the original that showed up at the Mecum Auction. It was a Fathom Green car. If this was repainted to the original Fathom Green, it would be a dead on copy. we just didn't want to repaint a car that had just been painted. The SS emblem above the Yenko emblem on the front fenders, we left on for the same reason, did not want to fill in holes and repaint. All other emblems are stick-on.

And oh, by the way, Daytona Yellow was one of the colors ordered by Yenko for some of their cars.

Yes, there were/are Yenko Chevelles with bench seats. But, please refrain from calling "your" clone a Yenko, when it's a SS396 Chevelle.
It is what it is and appears to be a nice car for the money, but I wish it was green. What would be nice is if people would come here and sign up to be involved rather than just to try to sell their stuff. JMHO. ![]() Blair

Yesh, I wish they had left it green too before I got my hands on it.
I would love to be more invilved, however I run four websites for all kinds of cars for sale and do not have time to be invilved in every website devoted to each kind of car. Believe me I would LOVE to! I sell cars on: www.corvettefor sale.com www.bigblockchevys.com www.internetmusclecars.com www.milliondollarautosite.com Checkout the rest of my cars for sale to see the quality I sell. I didn't put them all for sale on this forumn, just the Yenko clone because I thought someone might like to have a real nice SS 396 Chevelle/Yenko clone at a real low price! Compare what I am asking to some of the other Yenko clone Chevelles in the $30-50 thousand dollar price range they want, and you will see what a bargain it is compared to those. Thanks for looking. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree Supergas. Jasper...neat car...hardly a re-creation but neat none the less for the money. Don't expect to come here...slap a for sale ad with a lofty "best in the country re-creation" spiel and not have people try and help you understand why it isn't. I don't see anything proving it as a real SS396 either.. [ QUOTE ] Yenko's did look just like a Chevelle with stripes when they were new, duh!!! Maybe because that is what they are.

Thanks Camaro Joe
It's amazing how many people proclaim "they never made....." and don't know what they are talking about. We did a restoration on the SS396 and then ADDED Yenko emblems, and the owner WANTED the 427 emblem on the front. The car was meant to be the best of both worlds, SS 396 and a Yenko Chevelle!!! we were not going to take off all the SS emblems on the car in case whoever we sold it to wanted to turn it back to the SS configuration. Sure would like to see your car GTO Don so everybody on the forumn could pick it apart. Are ypu up to posting it? New reproduction bumpers fit and finish is real nice as you can see in the photos. Car is in Gatlinburg for the show this weekend. The rarestYenko Chevelle of all happens to be a Fathom Green, bench seat, auto on the column, an was at the Mecum auction in Chicago. It bid to @ $160000.00 and the owner didnt sell! |
