Actually this "story" was backed up by a couple of his friends, as well as by the second owner, and even someone who remembered racing the car during his college days.

The reason the original owner remembers the aluminum heads is the fiasco when he took the car back to Francis Chevrolet to get the damage repaired. Took a couple of months, and calls to Yenko and the Chevy zone rep to get the car fixed, under warranty. This ws quite common with warranty work on Yenko/COPO cars back then, especially Francis. Frank Radake, who bought his Yenko Chevelle from Francis, has told us a similar story.

And, we have visited with a Yenko mechanic, Warren Dernoshek, about this. He said that they did put al. heads on a couple of the cars, but could not say which cars. Thus, even though we are confident that the car was sold new with al. heads, we have no documentation.

And, this car has another unique feature, as it is Daytona Yellow and was sold new with white stripes. Only one known to have been built/sold.
