69 Yenko

[Fasttoys1]

Camarojoe and Hvychev,

I bought my first 69 Yenko from Bob Johnson in Wausaw Wis. A LeMans blue 4 -speed. I had it for a couple of months and had a valve spring break. It dropped a valve and mushroomed the piston and cracked the cylinder wall. It needed a new block and head. It had only a few thousand miles on it. Unfortunately there was a big truck strike and nobody could get parts. I was told 2-4 months to repair. Uncle Sam had tapped me and I knew I would be leaving soon so I asked Bob Johnson to get me another one. I traded the first one in and then got the second both from Bob Johnson. I had the second Yenko a couple weeks before I had to leave.

As it turns out I lost track of the first one. It was not untill I saw the listing on Ed. C copo site that I ran across it again. I have the bill of sale, all the paperwork, window sticker etc, for that car, including the work order for the blown motor. I heard it did take 3 months to get it fixed. I mentioned to Ed C. that I had all the original paperwork and would give it to the owner. Ed contacted the owner who said he has sold the car. Once it surfaces again I will get all the paperwork to the new owner via Ed.

The second Yenko, I was told when I picked it up that Bob Johnson pulled it from another dealer. Told me my time line was to short. Again when I found Ed C's copo site I found my Yenko but it was listed as sold from another dealer. All my paperwork is from Bob Johnson. When I get time I will use Ed C's talent and knowledge to straighten it all out.

I did buy both Yenko's new.
