Who knows where this 69 Yenko Chevelle ended up??

[Schefelle]

O.K. guys...here's the deal. I was on the chevelle.com site asking the same question...I was redirected here cuz you know all about yenko stuff. Here is what I posted there:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">So they made like 99 of the 1969 Yenko's...and I've learned via this site that only 35 ish of them still exist. I know of a couple guys who knew the original owner of a dark blue (dusk?) yenko 4 speed car that he bought at grossman chev in MN in 69. It was driven out in rural MN most of the time but did run back to the twin cities also.

The owner passed away at a younger age ( I know his name) and the car sat at the parents farm until they passed and the was taken to a relative about an hour away. I was told that about 2 years ago another person ( I know of him) (thru mutual friends) that he managed to look at the car.

The car, of course, had rust in the rear quarters...but not real bad..BUT had damage on one of the rear quarters. Anyway...this guy went back a year later just to see if it could be bought....but it was gone...and rumored to have gone to Texas!

Just really curious if anyone knows of the car and if someone has brought it back to glory! Let's hear what you may know!
</div></div>

I am in no way trying to get to personal about who owns it now...just really curious what finally has happened to it after being a &quot;farm find&quot;!

Out of respect, i am not posting people's name on here but I do know people that new the owner and the car...but I haven't talked directly to them..just friends of those people and guys that remember the car....I work with a guy that is familiar with chevelle's...and he doesn't remember it as lemans blue...he thought it was darker! Most of the people I am talking about surely would chat about what they know from someone who is an expert on these beauties! That...I am not!

Can't wait to hear from some of you!

Rick Nelson - Is that the car you shot at Minnesota Dragways?

Nope. Different car. The above Chevelle is well known and was restored many years ago.

[mnyenko]

The car is still in MN. Found many years ago. Still unrestored. Earl

[Schefelle]

So...do know (just so I can tell the guy I work with) was it Lemans or Dusk blue???

[Schefelle]

Oh yeah...by the way..thanks! I was led to the right guys!

[mnyenko]

Lemans blue four speed white stripe sold at Grossman. Earl

[bkhpah]

Are you sure its in MN????

[scuncio]

Still unrestored? I'd love to hear more about it.

[mnyenko]

I am sure it is in MN. Not for sale. Earl

As long as we're on the subject of MN Yenko Chevelles, does anybody know where the yellow automatic that was in the Dakotas when new, painted Daytona Yellow for a period, then resided with Ron Normann for a few years, ended up after Ron? I helped Ron buy it from a friend in MN., and he is curious where it landed. He knew the car back when it was new.

Is this not the same car from MCACN's, Super Car Workshop/Muscle Car Restoration and Design sponsored 25th Yenko Memorial show?..BKH

[69hurstSC]

So...Two Lemans Blue Yenko Chevelle's were in MN?

[Stefano]

I don't think there would be two, in the same color with the Camaro rear spoiler?

[SS427]

The car in the MCACN display is the same car that I took a picture of at the strip in or around 1978. I assumed it had been restored but evidently I may be wrong. Kinda wish they had left the Mopar scoop, chrome tubular grill and Cragers on the car.

The LB Yenko Chevelle with the spoiler was (hope still is) an unrestored car from the Otis Chandler collection. It was said to have had the Camaro spoiler and chrome racing mirror installed at Yenko as a customer request

Hi Mike.

I have seen Mark Rupp's SCW DY Yenko Chevelle. (not the one you are referring to)

I can look up the name of a FB friend who owns a DY Yenko Chevelle but it is a project, he has pictures of it crashed into something like a telephone pole in the 70's....(is this the one you are referring to?)

Ryan

[mnyenko]

The spoiler on the LB automatic Chevelle was added by the original owner. After he picked it up at Grossman.

[sixtiesmuscle]

Thanks Ryan, but this car was painted the correct yellow in the late 90s I believe. It was sold by Ron Normann to someone maybe 5-6 years ago.

As was the Mopar scoop and chrome tube grill. Somewhere I have photos of this car around 1981 parked next to me at a car show at Main Motors in Anoka.

I believe the LB Yenko Chevelle being discussed went from the Original Owner, to Greg Joseph/Ottis Chandler, to Keith Hudson, to the guy who bought all of Keith's Yenkos at Mecum, back to Mecum and then eventually to Wayne.

This one. Thanks to Mike Hennessey for posting on FB.

[mrays]

I believe this is the car Ron Norman had. Legendary had it on their website a year or so ago maybe check with them. It was listed as a numbers matching automatic car. This is the only Butternut Yellow with black vinyl top and automatic transmission Yenko I know of. I don't know who it was sold to.

I thought we were looking for a Daytona Yellow Yenko Chevelle? I looked at this one over a year ago, nice car!!

Ron Normans BY Yenko @ the 2001 Super Car reunion in Collinsville.

[sixtiesmuscle]

Thanks Rick. Looks like a different car than Legendary had. Sorry if I confused you Ryan. The car was incorrectly painted DY in the 80s or early 90s, and painted correct BY in '97 I believe.

No problem, I confuse easily:-)

I have not personally seen either of these two Butternut Yellow Chevelles with black tops and automatic transmissions. Other than the passenger side rearview mirror on the picture of Ron Norman's car they look the same. Both have the rear mount antennas. If the car Ron Norman had was originally in North Dakota I would have to assume it is B407566 that was sold new at Muscatel in Fargo ND. The car that Legendary had must have been B407636 which was sold new at Nankivell in Indianapolis IN. Those are the only two Butternut Yellow 69 Chevelles with TH400's that I see in the registry. Can anyone who has seen these two cars confirm that?

[camaromb]

Mrays is correct, Norman's old car was from Muscatel B407566 and the Legendary car was from Nankivell B407636.

[sixtiesmuscle]

Thanks guys. Now, anybody know where it is these days?
