1969 Olympic Gold Nankivell Yenko YS-9340

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Nankivell's Indianapolis location was sold into the Hubler conglomerate in the early to mid '70's, the building is still there on Route 31 in what is now technically known as Greenwood, IN. Jim Nankivell was also running an off shore fishing business in Florida.

I believe that Nankivell's Shelbyville location was run by Jim's brother Morgan, and may have been an Oldsmobile dealer early on, but eventually sold Chevrolet's as evidenced by the neon on the ceiling....

I spoke with a gentlemen who belonged to the same Skeet Shooting Club that Jim Nankivell belonged to and he and Jim were friends. He told me that before this Olympic Gold 69 Yenko Camaro sold new Jim used to bring the car out to the club to promote the Yenko brand. That one day at the club he said Jim let him take the car out and go through some gears. A day he said he will never forget. Jim Nankivell was very much a car guy and loved Hi-performance cars he said.

If you don’t mind a little additional input, it was still Nankivell into at least 76 as we were still dealing with them. In fact I can check my late 70’s yearbooks and old parts receipts to see when Hubler showed up.

The building at 3800 is still there and is still a used car dealership owned by Hubler. In is not in Greenwood. Hubler moved down 31 decades ago to that location you are thinking about, but the original Nankivell to Hubler building is at 31 and National, just inside the outer loop at 6 o’clock. This is where Doug’s car would have come from.

Wow, 31 decades? They had car dealers that long ago?
