Johnny Lowndoff Chevy Mo. Yenko Dealer?

What do you need Dan??? In 1969 Francis was the dealer for Yenkos and I never heard Londoff selling any Hipo cars... Mark

Johnny Londoff supposedly sponsored a '63 Z-11 Impala back in the sixties. I've heard this from a couple of different sources but Londoff is not on the list of dealers that received Z-11's. There was a Z-11 here in St. Louis but it was originally from Michigan and NOT sold in St. Louis. Anyway, I do know that a very good friend took delivery of a brand new 1968-9 L-88 Corvette from Londoff. They really did not want to warranty it due to it's obvious race car nature but eventually gave in and told him '30 days'. St Louis had a really big street racing scene along with lots of drag strips so musclecars were really punished hard here. When my father went to buy a brand new Hemi Charger, the Dodge dealer we went to told him when he left the lot, that was it, no warranty. So he ended up buying a 440 R/T with a warranty.

Londoff sold a few Deuces - even one that was dealer transferred from a dealer in AR.

Heres a shot of a Londoff dealer badge. I love the similarity between it and ones from Francis....I think the D-line salesman had a easy day...

I've been told that Feld Chevrolet in Kansas City Kansas tried to get a Z-11 but couldn't make it happen for some reason. So they pulled a new 63 out of inventory, ordered all the parts and made their own. Maybe Londoff did the same thing.
