Re: Some of you are gonna like the new MCR
in 67 and 68, Yenko used Super Camaro in the ads and other info but I don't know if it was 100% as Don and Donna Mae liked to play around with the ads and promo material and changed them.
In 1969 the "MEET THE MEAN ONES" ad has "The Yenko Super Cars" and YENKO SPORTSCARS INC.
On some original documents, sYc is "YENKO SPORTSCARS INC." , the YS-xxxx numbers are "Yenko Sportscars serial numbers"
Even the Yenko Honda Mini Stinger ad has YENKO SPORTSCARS INC.
Don and Donna Mae were very proud of YENKO SPORTSCARS INC. and used that name on many documents from 1960s into the 1980s. YENKO SPORTSCARS INC. was recognized as a manufacturer by SCCA, FIA, ACCUS, and AHRA.
In 1968 they were trying to get NHRA to recognize the 1968 427 Super Camaro as a production vehicle.
They sent NHRA a letter where they claimed to have built 150 Stingers, 107 1967 Yenko Super Camaros, ordered 200 1968 Super Camaro base vehicles and said they will increase it to 600.
ALL the production numbers they used in that letter have proved to be incorrect.
