Hi guys anyone remember this car? [/ QUOTE ] no, but thats one of the coolest pics posted on here in a long time. When was the pic taken? Is it a real Yenko car, and does it exist today?

Yes, I have the car.
Yes, Chad it's the same car that you hauled around in your trailer. Thanks Joe I just got some pictures this week from the original owner. Here's another one. He said he was practicing burn outs in his driveway and the neighbor called the cops. He was just takin this picture as "Company" was pulling up the driveway. (Circa 1971) |

Sully, do tell more! Is this a Canonsburg sold Yenko? I'm perplexed by the lack of Yenko and 427 badging, as well as the lack of hood striping. I notice the quarter stripes are missing the Yenko text as well. Was the "Yenko/SC" painted over or could these stripes have been joined this way since new, eliminating the Yenko/SC wording? Perhaps it was a walk-in Canonsburg customer's request. That would explain the lack of hood striping and badging as well, if the customer simply didn't want the Yenko name all over his new car. I know I'm speculating quite a bit, but until you clue us in here Sully it's all we can do. Fill us in, awesome looking car, any current pics of it?

Yes, it's a Cononsburg car.
Owner knew Don and wanted it that way. When I talked to him originally he said he didn't have the hood stripes installed when he bought it. I didn't realize he didn't have any of the badging either. He also said he had Don use a blank tape stripe without the script. Anyway when I bought it it had Z stipes on it and had the 427 hood emblems on. The car was badly damaged in 72? and had been repaired and repainted. Marlin I believe you know the car. Sully . |

I don't know why I keep coming back to this site..lol.
I am soooooo jealous of you yenko/copo/zl-1 guys. ![]() All the history, and cool 60's & 70's pics. My 70 Z was apparently purchased for racing too, but I don't have any period pics. What a find and what a great piece of history. Mark.
