Needless to say it was BS, although he did have copies of dealer work orders from the early '70s when he may have actually owned a blue Yenko.

I believe Mark is talking about: https://www.yenko.net/forum/member.php?u=42226

Maybe I’m missing something, but if it is undocumented, how would it be on the list? I did some background work and digging around on uncovering the latest ZL1 with another member here, so YES, some gems are still out there. The ZL1 was “uncovered” from a photo at a local drag strip showing a car with a urethane bumper. The car turned out to exist albeit a candidate for a total (extremely cut up drag car) resto. I had zero interest in anything to do with that car other than a little sleuthing. My point is, I wouldn’t discount the possibility of a rare car still hiding. Before believing it does or doesn’t exist I’d want more info on the car, driver, sponsorship, etc. As for posting the details of this car, I’d suggest to the person who started this thread to “keep your eyes on your fries” and button your lip. Pay the money and hire a bonafide inspector who is knowledgeable of the marque and who is licensed and bonded and trustworthy. If this IS alive and available, the cost to have the car inspected is a drop in the bucket.

Yes they are still out there, like the #17 ZL1 that was found in the last 5 years or so by the owner of the motor thanks to member William's help. It was in a collection striped and believed to be a Yenko by the owner. It was silver with Yenko stripes! It's hard to believe this could happen with all the information about these cars that is available.

Never give up searching and follow every lead. Yes there ARE still cars out there waiting to be found and some in the most obvious places.
