Default Re: 69 yellow Yenko from VA.

Was it sold from Colonial in Norfolk, VA? Were the rear wheel well lips rolled? If so I am friends with the original owner, Harry W. He owned it until around 1974 when he started a family. He told me the original wheels and carb were stolen one night.

Harry has tried to keep track of it over the years and wanted to buy it back in the 90's but never got the opportunity when it changed hands. Last Harry mentioned it was with a doctor or dentist in Harrisburg PA.

Harry also said that is was at one of the first Super Car reunions.

I'm not sure if it was a Colonial car or not. I was young and to dumb at the time to research it. I found the car in 82, sitting in the backyard here in chesapeake. The owner at that time had it for about 2 yrs. He said he parked it because it idled to rough for him. At that time the car was blue. The black yenko stripes were visible in the door jambs. The original emblems were in a box in the trunk. before this guy, the car was in williamsburg. I beleive the rear wheel wells were rolled over. The guy we sold it to in Hampton, painted, cleaned the motor, and put a set of rallyrims on it. A couple of years later we called him, and he stated he had sold to the car to a doctor in PA. sorry for being so long winded. I really regret selling the car.
