I wish I had the coin to buy up all those beauties!!! They're all keepers.

a number of mistakes in the Yenko Chevelle CHP certification.
states that Yenko records show 95 were built but the production number used since the 1980s is 99 and I never heard any other number used.
I guess it could be a typo but it is in two different places in the certification

a few mistakes under the CHP cert option list one obvious one is the COPO 9737 is not listed although it is shown on the original Yenko order form included in the report. Order form shows it as the Yenko Sports Car conversion option.
The COPO 9737 was one of the unique highlights of the Yenko Chevelles so would think it is an important option to note.
also shows tires as F70x14 but the Yenko Chevelle used a special F70x15

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mrays</div><div class="ubbcode-body">.....I have seen several unrestored documented 70 Chevelle SS's with the trim piece along the bottom of the rocker. I think Stefano had it at one time.

This is Howard Cox's old Chevelle and Stefano brokered it.

As far as the rocker moldings, this is a long standing argument. I have photos of 454 cars from back in the early 80's with rocker moldings and the owners swore they came that way. However, I have NEVER seen one ounce of documentation showing that they were done that way from the factory. That being said, the factory made mistakes ALL the time so it was certainly possible. I have seen that first hand numerous times. Never say never.

As far as the Blue Yenko Chevelle that Chad used to own, I won't post them here but I have photos of the drivetrain on that car when he and I tore it down that shows it still retained it's born with engine, trans and rear.

The rallye green Yenko should not be an X11, it is originally an X44 car if it is the one John O. owned. That body was dipped during restoration and the original tag was lost. It was an original Jack Douglas sold Yenko.

[Charley Lillard]

If you mean the late John Oquinn I'm told this is a different car.

[camaromb]

I meant Ohler's old yenko, N616658, that is the car I'm referring to. It was for sale on the north side of Chicago in '86 or so, sitting on a side street near Montrose harbor for $ 6,000, painted black, Yenko 350 for sale, can't be real ??. Oops, missed that one.

Auction tomorrow! Anyone going to be bidding??
