I noticed by 4pm yesterday someone had taken the rear yenko emblem. I hope it was the owner.

I have to think that the owner removed the yenko badge. We were over there yesterday afternoon and he was hanging out by his car. Here is a picture of some SYC members and Yenko owners inspecting the rear of the nicely patina'd supercar.

Been waiting for pictures to surface of it at the show. Was really hoping to make it and see it for myself but my son decided to make an entrance into the world a bit sooner than expected lol.

Looks pretty original. Would make for an easy resto but I could see this being one of those “do I or don’t I” type situations. This would for sure have been helpful to see in our restoration of the 668616 FG Yenko that also is an automatic car. I appreciate the pics everyone has shared thus far just wish I coulda been there to see it in person lol

I spoke with who I believe is the owners wife. She told me that they removed the rear Yenko emblem after they saw someone else messing with it. She indicated that their plan was to not restore the car.

That would be a bummer. The car deserves to have the mechanical refreshed/restored and make the car driveable. It is way too cool to let it continue to sit and waste away.

From my conversation I understood it to mean a mechanical refurbish and drive it was in the plans. I’m guessing the owner will chime in at some point

Alright !! That would be fitting and cool. I'm sure enough Supercar people asked him to join...

It's great that they took it to the show for others to see and hopefully they will keep it inside somewhere
