Yenko Chevelle Pix After 20+ Years In Storage

Love it...what's the drivetrain originality situation?.

Are you're using the new fenders in the pics and saving the original Driver's side one w/ paint for garage art...too cool!.

It's usually best to keep most storage hoods on their sides as they're easily damaged with all their weight on the cowl end corner points...not trying to be critical, I only learned this the hard way myself!.

What's the story on the stripe on that fender, is it definitely original? Was the car delivered with SS type factory stripes and not the typical Yenko graphics? I understand many COPO Chevelles were built with them but this would be a first that I've heard of a Yenko car being delivered with them. It appears to have received the full Yenko badging but w/ factory sport striping, definitely different. Please let us know if you have any more info on this. Good luck with the resto...looks like a very solid car.

The Yenko badges look like the 70 and up chrome style. With out pins on backs. Earl

Hi guys, after looking further looking at the fenders the car has been painted because after looking at the backside of the fenders you can see where they filled in the 427 emblems. So the SS stripe had to be a later add on!

Any pics of the trim tag?
