Re: An interesting Yenko story
Wouldn't it be cool to have a video and intersting facts of the travels that all the SUPERCARS had in the early years of the cars life. Just sit back and watch - that would be awesome. Sometimes the history of the car being pursued is more interesting than the car. Now you know of course I'm 42, being 8 yrs. old in 69 is not fair!! Thanks for the post I like stuff like that.

Re: An interesting Yenko story
That second shot is a great old photo...Are the guys headed out in the long shadows of early morning on the way to race? You can just make out the Yenko badge on the driver's door..

Re: An interesting Yenko story
If this is the same car,I don't believe Central sponsered more than one,It seems to have vanished like a fart in the wind.....I have spoken to many people in my area,Cleveland,most of which raced at Thompson and 42.I have gotton zip on this car.I hope it will surface someday!

Re: An interesting Yenko story
Cool story & great vintage pics. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Steve, could that Central Deuce in the B/W photos really be Fathom Blue? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] Sure is hard to tell in black and white, but my guess would be silver. Marlin, where ya at?

Re: An interesting Yenko story
Good morning,
I can not tell for sure if these are the same cars but looking at the pictures I have of Jerry's Yenko under a magnifying glass here's a couple of things I discovered. 1. The writing on the door says Central. 2. There is some writing on the front passenger fender but can not make it out. Also on the fender is the Yenko badge and the 350 badge. 3. There is no badge on the trunk lid for Central. 4. There is the Yenko badge on the trunk lid and you can see the Yenko door panels. Talking with Jerry last night, he said back then it was no big deal to have a Yenko. The reason they got rid of it was to drop the 427 into a 69 Z28, which they never got to the race track because they got split window vette for the engine.
