looking through some Yenko Chevelle pictures

here is a restored one with black stripes but I don't know if it is the same car from the 1977 picture posted here

the one next to it with white stripes was a one owner car at the time and may still be

IIRC, the original owner car was Frank Radake of MO and was sold new from Francis Chev in Bridgeton, MO, and I thought the other red one in that pic was owned by Mike Guarise of WI and was sold new from White Allen Chev in Dayton, OH.

They sure are Bruce.....At first I thought they were my pictures.....I looked at all
my Pictures, then I remembered....you and I were both at SCR that year

Frank Radake’s 1969 Yenko Chevelle is the only known Yenko with dealer Installed A/C

Why do you say Frank's Yenko Chevelle had dealer installed AC?

I thought he told me he installed the AC along with other 69 Chevelle options he found during an early restoration.

I was surprised to see all the options on the car and was a long time ago when I met him but that is what I recall him saying.

Hi Joe, you heard wright, he did install the ac along with power windows. His buddy was junking a Malibu and took the parts and put them on his Yenko.

Yes both names sound correct to me


I believe Mike sold his, here is the red/black stripe one on the Mecum site 2011
