I spoke with a buddy today who says he came accross a gentleman with a 69 Yenko Chevelle, an early Yenko campaign car with all of it's original equipment down to the tires. It apparently has been in a climate controlled environment since 1970 and has under 5K miles on the odo. Owner has documentation and the car even has the "win stickers" still on the back window. He claims the car is one of three built and that the other 2 are known to have been destroyed. Car is blue with white stripes. Please contact me if you can shed any light on the "one of 3" claim or if you have any interest.

I live 10 mins from the car and have known the car/owner for probably 20 years....I was working next door to his home and I saw the car back then..I assume its the same now... the car is an ex-racer..you could say a bit of a mess..The owner has always claimed the car to be an actual Yenko raced car that he bought from them once they were done with it. I believe the 1 of 3 is the L-88 option. I actually could have traded him for one of my cars that he really liked back then before the car was really even known. I knew he was kind of eccentric right away because he never would let me see the car again...I know he kept raising the price of the car continually...anyway, the car has been discussed before I believe on the Chevelle site...and apparently some very expert Yenko guys looked at the car. I'm not sure if thier opinion was that it is not a real Yenko..or that there is no proof...I forget...but I believe someone would have bought it if it was what it is purported to be...
please correct me if I'm wrong, ok...I'm goin from memory
someone here probably knows more or can link a thread about the car...

We've been over this here about 5 years ago: click
The car was inspected, and the conclusion was that all of the paperwork is bogus and far from factually correct...I've talked to the owners on several occasions, as they seem to call every few months to remind us of the car. Warren D. doesn't have any paperwork on the car, wrong stripes, iirc it's not an L88, etc, etc...the problem is the wrong brother is running the show.
I keep telling the owner(s) they need to cut out the BS, quit billing it as a Yenko, do a little research and *then* they may very well have something, as there's a remote possibility it may indeed be a COPO Chevelle.
