Thanks Brian, your post is much appreciated.

What does your trim tag look like YS100. Does it have a 140 speedo and large sway bar for starters? By the way Tom B. I have access to a genny MV 375 motor. Real Yenko VIN and unmolested pad that might be for sale. That would really help complete the picture...BKH

By the way, I had a Kenny Ross 1977 Z/28 with 8000 miles. I had a ton of paper with the car but, the dealership still had paper for that car. It's worth a call...BKH

Here is the ad that Yenko ran locally. My quess it was run by Frank Yenko who was known to be on the tight side with spending. The print is only about 1/16 inch.
My quess it was some type of dealer trade. Being that late in the year they were trying to unload cars so maybe traded the COPOs for station wagons or trucks.

I may be able to post some pictures a little later. Huber and Cupp just went over the car today and took some pics. Chuck is trying to figure out away to send them to me. He took pics of all the pertenant info: cowl tag (with correct writing) 140 Speedo, vin tag, steering wheel. It looks like it may still have the L-88 engine that I bought at Yenko. The engine was balanced and blue printed by D. A. Santucci ( with his name still stamped on the block)I may be interested in selling this engine at a later date.

Joe, I would appreciate it if you could send me a bigger version of that ad by email. I can post it back here in readable size by using my own server space.

[JoeC]

It is not readable. It is a photo of the ad. The original print size is 1/16

An unconverted Yenko car with an L-88 bought from Yenko in it????? Damn!!!! Not even what category this car should fit into..... Day 2 + + + ??????

Would it make sense to restore it w/ the L-88 in it? Did Yenko install the engine when you bought it?

[T Billigen]

The car came with a 396/375. The L-88 was not installed by Yenko Chevy. I bought this engine in the Spring of 1969. I put stock L-72 pistons in it and used the heads from the original 396/375. Did run well though, turned consistent 11.40s! D. A. Santucci did the engine work sometime in the late 70s. He was pretty famous in his own rite. He won a lot of top fuel and funny car races and beat alot of the big boys! He passed away earlier this year.
