Default Re: Jim's Feature Yenko

The picture is of the previous owner, Jerry Buzkowski who had owned the car from approx. 1976 until our purchase in early '98. The original owner was a friend of his in Mishawaka Ind. This picture was taken at the Car Craft Nationals in '80 or '81. I happened to see Jerry at the auction this last week and heard more interesting info on the car. Apparently, the original owner pulled out the M21 and replaced it with a SuperT10. When Jerry bought the car, he knew where the original trans was (another friends Z28). He negotiated to replace his friends tranny with whatever he wanted in order to retrieve the original for the Yenko!! Thank goodness he was successful. Apparently the original owner immediately replaced the shocks with Monroes as well as the tach.However he kept the originals which Jerry was able to put back on the car.
