It's funny.... I was talking with the guy and he was trying to remember where in PA the car was from. I just threw out some names of cities. I told him I was from PA and I remember the dealership.....

He then thought that Canonsburg might be "close" ........

Actually he was right... Canonsburg WAS "close" to where he got the car... By 1988 the Yenko dealership was no longer actually in Canonsburg, but up the road in McMurray, PA.

How did Sun Chevrolet fit into the picture - if at all?

I ran into one of the heirs of the Sun (Chevrolet among other brands)fortune (son of Sun) at Pavillions a few weeks back. Old man Sun passed a few years back and the boy lives out here now. He was looking to buy a B. Veyron in the near future. Is that one of them new Chevys?

Sun did do some racing in the Pgh area.

I believe the original McMurray Yenko Chevrolet dealership that was built in the early 70's later became Sun Chevrolet, and still is Sun Chevy today. The Honda dealership moved to an all new location when Yenko lost the Chevrolet franchise and became solely a Honda dealer.

Ah, I see. Any knowledge as to why Yenko lost the Chev. franchise?
