Gold Yenko at Mecum sets record

[JoeC]

I have not found evidence of a “prototype” or what car was first to get the stripes and emblems.
It is an interesting discussion but not the big story.

IMO The big great story is the Yenko 427 Drag Special and the Ron Welsh story and now the big auction story.
Overall, one of the best Yenko car stories I know of.

There are other cars with emblems not installed in the normal locations.

Some 1968 Yenko Camaros had the Yenko crest above the Camaro emblem some had it below .
Some Yenko Chevelles had the 1968 427 emblems installed , some had the 1969 427 emblems .

There was more then one 1969 Yenko that was not done the normal way.

Bobby Goss story and photos about his cousin's OG Yenko Chevelle

When he went to pick up his gold Yenko Chevelle it had not been striped yet.
He wanted black stripes but was told they had no black stripe kits in stock.
He told Yenko Chev to put on the white stripes.

Yenko Chev put on the white stripe kit with no 427 emblems and no Yenko crest emblems and sent him on his way.

(This car was restored with black stripes and 427 emblems and the Yenko crest emblems in the normal way. )
