Yenko Chevelle

[Clint_69]

I guess I am the real good car guy from Iowa. I had a great conversation with Dave R about his Yenko and offered to help him about the research of his Pontiac Yellow Bird. He told me about the current owner and another person from , I believe MN, wanting him to sign documents. I also cautioned him about that. He told me some great stories about the car in it's glory days and how it met it's demise. As Tom mentioned, the car in question is dead and buried and the only thing original on that Chevelle would be, at most, the frame. I have known about the car for quite some time and Dave is a very nice guy to talk to. As Tom said, the VIN on the firewall is not even close. Even if someone has signed documentation, it would not do any good as there is no evidence of the car even being a Yenko and could never be proved as such. I do not believe that anyone even knows which car it was because there are no #s.

should be a vin on the frame also

I have seen this chevelle,and talked with both Tom and Clint about it. And the're right, its dead. To try to resurrect this car is not impossible, but the amount of Yenko heritage is questionable, and at best minimal. It would kinda be like having one piece of a Yenko,(maybe) and building a car around it,without a trim tag, or VIN.
If there was anyway that this car could be brought back with any real credibility, it would now be in process. Unfortunatly its dead. Dammit! Schonye [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Joe where would the vin be located on the frame??

[JoeC]

dr side on top of frame rail near rear body mount. Hard to see with body on. They have also been found in other places on the frame but that is most common place I know of.

But, they aren't always on the frame.
