I recieved these pictures today taken by Jim Bell who is restoring the Dover Yenko Chevelle. The car was sold new at Joseph Chevrolet in Ohio. The Mayor's Hugger X11 Yenko Camaro was sold there too. That is a rare pair in both color{Chevelle} and trim level[Camaro}. The Chevelle was bought from the original owner nicknamed "Yenko Freddy". The car has just 12k miles and retains all the original panels. As more pictures arrive I will post them. Perhaps the owner Joe, will be kind enough to intoduce himself and add more details. One detail I know is it will be at SCR XI!...Enjoy..BKH

Very cool car. Here is a picture of Franny Roberts next to the Chevelle after the trunk paint. We used Frannys shop that week, because the day they trailered the car the roads turned into a snow covered mess. Fran's shop is right along Rt70 a good 1 1/2 hours closer and safer than Homer City that day. Thanks to Fran for helping out with the project for Joe and Jim...BKH
