Default HO Yenko Chevelle

Does anyone know of a Hugger Orange 69 Yenko Chevelle in or around Franklin, PA? I passed one today, going the other way on 417, 5 miles out of Franklin, but, it had the black striping and black vinyl top and badging. Real? Clone?

I live in Franklin and I only saw it once last summer driving by the house. I have not seen it at any shows around the area. I will keep an eye out for it this holiday weekend. Highly unlikely that it is real......

Didn't Chip Miller have one similar to described?
Does his son still have the car?

One was featured on a Mecum Auction a couple of weeks back. It was to be coming up soon at a Mecum Auction this year. It was said to be one of one because HO was not a std. color for Chevelles in '69.

Hmm maybe it was a COPO not a Yenko?

There are at least two almost identical HO COPO Yenko Chevelles, black VT, black interior, AT, a member here Mark Hassett has one and George Lyons has or had one..... I think he sold it?

We got to check out Marks Orange Yenko a few years ago at NOCC:-)

George's Yenko Chevelle was sold at Mecum Indy in 2008.

I agree, what you saw was most likely a clone.....there are a half dozen clones in every large city of America.

From Franklin! I live in Knox. As for the car I haven't seen it that I'm aware of. One I have come to mind had white stripes but was a clone.

From Knox huh? I live in Butler. Last year I surveyed a towing company (I think) around that area that has a warehouse full of Mopars, including winged cars. Are you familiar?
