looks like the 67 is coming along well

have you asked John what he remembers about the Yenko Chevrolet Dealership when he was there?

I'm sure he would have been focused on his new 67 Yenko Camaro but maybe can recall other things

Does he recall seeing any 1968 Yenko Camaros on the lot or the back lot where the cars were stored ?

Does he recall Frank or Martha Yenko in the office ?

Does he recall the chassis dyno in one of the garages ?

Did he go to Don's office up the stairs on the second floor of the dealership?

Did he see any Yenko race cars there? Yenko may have had the DX Oil 1968 L88 Corvette at the time John was there.

They ran 3 DX Oil Corvettes at Daytona in February and Sebring in March in 68

Default Yenko

Nice . Perfect low gloss. A lot more labor to restore a loaded car .

Joe...John says he recalls the dealership with HIPO cars everywhere...but there were no 68 Yenko Super Camaros on the lot ...he said if there was...he may of left with a 68 . He said there were several 68 Z’s....but he was set on having a big block. He recalls his original salesman Ron Lane not being able to persuade him ..so Don Yenko came over and joined the conversation to help close the deal and sell John the 67 . My guess is since this was early March of 68 ..all the race cars were at Sebring. He was young and mostly focused on 1 car. Lol. I know I am inviting him to Chicago to see everyone and be a part of the display he is a great guy and I consider him a close friend if you’re there please feel free to come by and have a drink with us and we can pick his brain
