15” Rally’s are cool because they are part of the COPO order...69 Z/28 wheels special ordered on a Chevelle.

It is amazing Don was able to order those tires on the Yenko Chevelles

That was a large tire for a new 1969 Chevelle.

Yenko SportsCar COPO 9737 15x7 Z/28 wheel with the special order F70x15 GoodYear GT tires.
same size tire as the 69 Corvette (but not same tire) and one size wider then the E70 Z/28 tires

I think Yenko got the best wheels and tires he can for the Yenko Chevelles using the COPO program

Agreed but it really sucks when you have to try and find a set to make a perfect restoration. Can't be many of these left and certainly not in the condition I found these in.

Rick - So are there still some parts you are looking for on this build?

Rainer, yes but the list has greatly diminished. I need to make time to post a wanted add, maybe today. Drip rail moldings, inside/outside rear view mirror, shifter boot (3 ribbed), quarter window chrome and rubber, 15" trim rings and NOS rear hood chrome are about all I can think of for now.
