I would like to submit my new Yenko for the April Feature car. The Muscle Car Dealer who sold it to me claims it is a very early Yenko Prototype found in a circus tent. He had no documentation but guarantees it is original.

Awsome Circus Wagon/SC. Congrat's to Joe C on his new find. Up to this point I have only heard rumors of such a beast. I hope that you can find the number matching horses, and have it at the Reunion. I for one am very impressed..BKH

I saw one of these in an issue of Superstock and Drag Illustrated.May 1969 I believe.Very nice.Those wheels are an extra $109.15 option.That was alot of money back then.

Kevin already has three of them, "big tank" models, but they're all out getting museum-quality restorations by a gang of gypsies in Romania. He even found some original knock-off wheels on eBay but I have my doubts seeing as how they're painted yellow.

Looking through my archives, I came across this photo of yet another vintage superwagon. The proud gentleman in the foreground is the original owner and was recently profiled in a Circusvision special. And, no, it's not for sale!
