Re: 69 YENKO Chevelle
Was this guys name Bill Shirk ( maybe mis-spelled) who owned this yenko. My father works with this guy and he bought a new Yenko chevelle and pulled the decals off, it was green. He did mention that someone called him a few days ago, and had just mentioned this to my dad knowing that I followed Yenkos. Will post more info as i get it

Re: 69 YENKO Chevelle
Bill Sherk did indeed buy a fathom green, 4sp, AM radio yenko chevelle new, from yenko. (His name is on Yenko's inventory sheet, under the 'dealer' column, and was normal practice for Yenko's record keepers).
VIN = 136379B395089. To my knowledge, it has not been found.

Re: 69 YENKO Chevelle
Ron, did he trade the car in or sell it to an used car lot on RT. 19?

Re: 69 YENKO Chevelle
Got a little bit more info. He said that he sold the car out right, kept the car for 2-3 years,never saw the car again. He has a picture of the car with a christmas tree on the roof. (long story that he is going to tell me about). He is going to see if he can dig up anything.

Re: 69 YENKO Chevelle
This car was bought from a used car lot in front of "Matt's Auto Body" on RT 19 ( as an aside, my girlfriend bought her Camaro from the same lot in 1980) , I can't remember the name of the lot. Does anyone remember this lot?. The current owner said he met the original owner of the car at Keystone Dragway once but did not remember his name.

Re: 69 YENKO Chevelle
A few of years ago a couple of guys from the midwest offered "Real Money" for the car, but the owner told me he "doesn't need the money"...
