It is not very often that I see a "METAL" Yenko Bar & Shield emblem anywhere.
I assume this lack of info, pictures, etc is because this emblem is somewhat RARE???
The metal Bar & Shield Yenko Emblem was originally used on all cars sold at Yenko Chevrolet as a dealer I.D. badge.
Unlike what mentioned above the early (67 & 68" Yenko "SYC's" DID in fact carry the Bar & Shield emblem.
The emblem was attached everywhere. one the front fenders, rear panel between tail lights & also on the TOP of the AIR CLEANER.
I KNOW about this FIRST- HAND because I lived very close to both of YENKO CHEVROLET locations (Canonsburg & Route 19 in McMurray, PA. ( which eventually became SUN CHEVROLET).
Very often we would cruise to Yenkon& check out all of the SYC's and the assortment of many muscle car trade-ins on the used car lot. it was like going to a muscle car/Corvette show.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIENDS WE THOUGHT THEY'D NEVER END.... BUT THEY DID!!!!
