Reading the April/May 1995 issue of MCR,I found this interesting article in the "Yenkos Incredible Cars" section.
As most of you know,it was 1969,and Don Yenko was able to get the Factory (COPO) to do the 427 engine Installation,and Warranty them as well.Here is where that Paid off,as Colonial Chevrolet was one of their Competitors in the Marketplace.

"Norfolk,Virginia was a hub of the U.S.Navy.Sailors with Lump sums of money burning a hole in their Bell bottomed pockets,bought many a Hot Chevy from Colonial Chevrolet in Norfolk,Va.
Gung-ho buyers would show up at the drag strip on Sunday for fun and games despite being in Gross violation of their Cars Warranty.
Also present at the track was the Local Chevrolet zone Rep. who would photograph the cars,Vin#'s, and License numbers.
Back at the office on Monday,he would start the Paperwork to Cancel thier warranties-This was an Important Yenko selling point".
