Grossman is still in business. They moved to Burnsville MN. There are no records from the old Lake Street store. All the 69 Yenkos sold there are found. There is a missing Gobi deuce. Stolen and never recovered from the original owner. Earl

My last 3 trucks (new) and last 5 cars (used) have come from there if that helps....

Several of us cleaned that place out in the early 80's when North American Super Sports held their first National show there. I became friends with the parts manager and he let me buy anything that had been in his inventory for over 10 years at cost. I had a swap space set up at the show and we sold everything he had left that day. Had I only known.

i had spoken with someone who used to work at grossman once and he spoke of a dealer trade in once that was a 69 corvette. he said it had come from Yenko. i was young and dont quite recall the details. i'm guessing most likely it was just a yenko sold corvette and not a Yenko Corvette.

I talked to a gentleman @ Grossman that said he likely sold our '71 Y-Vega...

I also have purchased a few trucks from there. I was speaking to one of the owners about a year ago,he was about 85,i was standing in the parts dept and he came in and said "has no one helped you yet" and i said no. He then pounded his fist on the counter and got the parts guys attention. I proceeded to tell him about Yenko cars and the website and that they sold a bunch of them and he said "why would you want one of those old things" Funny guy,When i went in a few months ago to buy my last truck i heard he had passed away.
