Honoring Don Yenko

[Mr70]

I am not against any of it,But as an Enthusiast in Musclecars and SuperCars,I would much rather see a Don Yenko Memorial Museum.
Yes I know he was a Car dealer who just tried to make a decent buck,but you can't deny how he has influenced our Hobby greatly.
A Place where all of his achievements,attributes and Future Ideas could be seen,heard,and touched.
With Memorablia,facts and Cars on Display,soley based on Don Yenko and the cars he created,and Races he participated in.
The Public would pay a small custodial fee,and could Visit this museum anytime of the Year.
Just my Opinion.

That is an interesting thought. First of all, there is such a place, sort of, but it is not well known and very hard to get to. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The sYc owns an old drug store building, complete with show cases and an area to park cars. In the building are hundreds of Yenko memorabilia items. Such items as the reigster book from Don's funeral, his diploma from Penn State, many, many personel items, autographed photos, the 'fridge from Don's basement, lots of stuff from the Canonsburg dealership (lamps, chairs, etc), the list is endless. In addition, not stored there but close, is a large collection of Yenko Chevrolet paperwork. But, I realize something better, more accessible, needs to be done. In the past, I have had conversations with 2-3 different persons about a better place for a Yenko/Supercar museum, and am scheduled to discuss this very topic with some one at SCR6. Basiclly, I am willing to work with any serious effort to see a Yenko/Supercar Museum become a reality. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

I to agree with Bobby that one of the great tributes to Don Yenko has been this site and the Supercar Reunion. Tom & Rob have done a great job in imortalizing Don Yenko and his cars through this site by creating awareness for his cars & acomplishments. It has been a great accomplishment for the Yenko Legacy for so many people to share all there knowledge of the supercars. I have been fortunate to learn a life time of info in such a short period of time that was collected by most of you through years of experience & research.
