Re: Yenko corvette
In 1971 a client desired L88 Corvette, since they were no longer available new, he requested that Yenko build him one. The 1969 Corvette in the picture was selected from the used car lot, it was a blue with blue interior, 350/350. When completed it had a built L88, the best of everything in the driveline, competition fender flairs, the widest wheel and tires that would fit. It was refinished in black with silver striping, the interior was redone in a off white vinyl and was very handsom. The repair orders totaled in excess of $17,000.00 not including the car. The client took delivery of the Corvette on a Tuesday evening and traded it back in on Thursday. The mechanic pictured with Don is Chuck Morano. I had the opportunity to drive this Corvette on several occasions.
