Congratulations to Doug Perry who is now the proud owner of the 1969 Olympic Gold Nankivell Yenko Vin#124379N579034 or YS-9034. I am posting this for Doug.

The car was bought out out of the state of Illinois off the long term owner who has owned the car since 1976.

The car was purchased new by a Rick Barratt of Indy at Nankivell Chevrolet in Indianapolis in May 1969. Jim Nankivell used the car as a demo before being sold to Rick.

Once Rick bought the car he proceeded to remove all the Yenko decals/emblems and the car was then street raced around Indy. Then the car was used as a race car and proceeded to be raced at Raceway Park, Muncie Dragway, Edgewater Dragway, Milan Dragway, Beech Bend and others.

We are currently researching more into the history of this car.

I thought I had heard it was in Eastern Iowa. I guess that's close to Illinois. Congratulations Doug and team. Cant wait to see it.
