I feel very fortunate that Clarence was willing to speak with me and I could tell him the history of the car from it's time in Lake Orion. I am hoping to add more to the history as my leads in Colorado start to come to light. I hope to continue speaking with him in the future so that we may perhaps fill in the gaps from the time my father passed up to it's current residence.
Thanks again.
Chris

Here are a few pictures you might like the Muncie time slip was the fastest it ever ran with the original tires ,no headers,, that was &quot;pure stock&quot; . As you can see I guess you could say I traded it for a jeep,, I am sure some of you can identify the 25th infantry tags on the jeep

Were some of these Yenko Chevelle's available w/o the headrest lettering when new?

Yes, When i talked to Clarence he said that his never had the headrest stickers and had rally wheels.
My dads cousin Andrew also said that the Yenko didnt have any markings on the headrest.

All restoration shot's I've seen of the car have the headrest decals. It looks like whomever restored the car went for personal touches and not &quot;as delivered&quot; authenticity. Still, one badass Yenko Chevelle!
