'68 Yenko Corvette
Per Mecum Description...
<span style="font-style: italic">After 35 years in careful storage, this original, one-owner, 7,800 mile, Yenko Corvette is once again ready for takeoff. This Silverstone Silver coupe is a highly original, low mileage example equipped with the high performance L71 427/435 HP Tri Power engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and 4.11 Positraction rear end.
In addition to specifying an AM/FM radio, tinted glass, power brakes, telescopic steering and safety harnesses, the buyer ordered additional modifications by Yenko including the GM factory off road side exhaust system, Yenko 5-spoke wheels with Goodyear Polyglas GT Tires, progressive carburetor linkage and a Baldwin Motion hood. The car was driven a mere 7,800 miles before it was stored away in 1976. Recently discovered by a Pittsburgh collector, it has been thoroughly refreshed. The 427 Tri-Power engine has been expertly tuned, and the brake, fuel and cooling systems have been serviced, beyond which the car required only a careful cleanup and detailing.
This Yenko's incredible originality is furthered by it's extensive documentation. Items include the original Yenko Bill of Sale, Corvette Order Form, complete Owners Packet including Protect-O-Plate, radio instructions and tag, original embossed leather Yenko key chain,Yenko license plate frame, T-top storage bags and hold-down straps, complete jack, factory seat shims, license plate screws and the original Uniroyal Tiger Paw Spare Tire.
Simply put, this may be the most original, lowest mileage, best documented Yenko Corvette in existence.</span>
