Harrell Super Car Capitol

[1967Z28]

Something I don't fully comprehend is you have Camaro paperwork where it shows a car sold by Yenko Chevrolet, others sold by Yenko Sports Cars, and others sold through Span. I guess a car sold by Harrell would be none of the above and would be yet a 4th option?

It is a bit confusing because the cars had different paperwork depending who did the conversion, shipping, and the sales.

The 1967 Yenko Camaros were bought by Don Yenko through Yenko Chevrolet.
Some of the 427 conversions were done by Yenko.

The NCRS shipping data report shows Yenko Chevrolet.

Some of the paperwork is on a Yenko Chevrolet invoice.
Some of the paperwork is on a Yenko Sportscars invoice with the same address.

The Dick Harrell paperwork, that Warren has, was found at Yenko Chevrolet. I believe this was the paperwork that Harrell sent to Yenko for billing Yenko for the work. This is on about 25 1967 Yenko 427 Camaros.

Harrell was only involved with Yenko for 1967.

Span Inc. was James Spencer who sold sports cars and imported sports cars. He worked for Yenko on the dealer network (also raced a Stinger).

Span Inc paperwork was used to sell some of the converted cars to the Yenko network dealer. Spencer had a Yenko demo car he would drive to the network dealers.

Span Inc. was involved with the Yenko dealer network selling the cars from 1966 to 1970. (maybe other years)

The cars may have the NCRS shipping data report showing Yenko Chevrolet.

Some cars have GMAC lists with vin numbers

Some cars have paperwork from Howard Sober Inc. showing shipping and insurance

Some cars have paperwork from the Pittsburgh National Bank to Yenko from a dealer

Some have paperwork from the Yenko network dealers to the original owner for the final sale.

Adding to the confusion, two 1967 427 Yenko Super Camaros were purchased by Yenko Chevrolet, converted by Dick Harrell, sold to Fred Gibb Chevrolet , who sold them at his dealership. So Yenko Harrell and Gibb were involved with those two cars.

Are these two cars known to exist?

YS-715 and YS-749 were sold by Fred Gibb , both are known cars and on the list here

In following the journey and his devotion to Chevrolet, both on the track & working with some active dealerships, many names appear that can be associated with “Mr. Chevrolet.”

The clipping in this thread largely involves a time, information, and names that can be associated while in St. Louis.

[JoeC]

These were the four drag cars run with the 'Yenko Super Camaro Dealers' and Dick Harrell sponsorship in 1967

including Mike Garfinkel , Jim Guthrie, and Gene Rains

Having competitive cars carrying a sponsors carrying their is an effective way to advertise your hi-performance product as many fans & participants at the drag strips. Watching their performance, often the selling point for those young of heart.

Yes, both exist and are currently in the Midwest. Very interesting history on both cars and they are technically mirror opposites of each other . One is black with red interior non RS and the other is red on black RS. Both have been featured at MCACN.
