Default Yenko/DANA Connection any more info on this

Noticed that DANA was the West Coast Yenko Distributor. Looking for more info on this. Did Yenko send DANA cars or were other cars divereted to DANA to be converted from other dealers.

<font color="green"> One of Yenko's West Coast Distributors, Dana Chevrolet, placed an order for three Yenko Stinger-type Corvairs, with Don Yenko's permission, directly from the factory. </font>

Yes, i was very lucky to get this great corvair with it's fantastic history, I just hope I can learn more about it, about ''Dana'' and, the ""Yenko" connection, and the ''Dana emblems, stickers,or any other clues that you could find on the ''Dana'' cars..There is so much I don't know about all this, that's why I keeping asking, so I can give someone else an answer, when they ask me.

Pretty sure a parking slot next to Mo's Stinger at SCR8 would be worked out. Bring it out for all to see. DANA cars are few and far between.
