Re: Yenko Honda
It's funny.... I was talking with the guy and he was trying to remember where in PA the car was from. I just threw out some names of cities. I told him I was from PA and I remember the dealership.....
 He then thought that Canonsburg might be "close" ........

Re: Yenko Honda
Actually he was right... Canonsburg WAS "close" to where he got the car... By 1988 the Yenko dealership was no longer actually in Canonsburg, but up the road in McMurray, PA.

Re: Yenko Honda
How did Sun Chevrolet fit into the picture - if at all?

Re: Yenko Honda
I ran into one of the heirs of the Sun (Chevrolet among other brands)fortune (son of Sun) at Pavillions a few weeks back. Old man Sun passed a few years back and the boy lives out here now. He was looking to buy a B. Veyron in the near future. Is that one of them new Chevys?
 Sun did do some racing in the Pgh area.

Re: Yenko Honda
I believe the original McMurray Yenko Chevrolet dealership that was built in the early 70's later became Sun Chevrolet, and still is Sun Chevy today. The Honda dealership moved to an all new location when Yenko lost the Chevrolet franchise and became solely a Honda dealer.

Re: Yenko Honda
In 1980/81 Yenko was having problems with his financial reports that Chevy main office required.
Don’t know if there were actual financial problems or if it was just record keeping not keeping pace with moderation but at one point Chevy sent in there own people. I have some of the Chevy FACTS computer review printouts that have lists of the missing items.
