Default Span Inc.

There is a copy of Span Inc's. 1967 Yenko Sports Cars Brochure in 'The 1969 Camaro Reference Book' by John R. Hooper, copywritten in 1991, on page 264.

The Brochure has the caption "Yenko Super Camaro" under the picture of the'67 with Corvette side exhaust and Corvette 427 emblems on the fenders under the Camaro emblem.

The picture also has the Caption "Engineered by Dick Harrell" and the Special Options Available section states (designed by Don Yenko and Dick Harrell).

A few pages ahead (p268) there is a Copy of a similar Fred Gibb stamped document which lists lower prices for the same cars, but no mention of Span Inc. The lower prices would tend to indicate that this was either an earlier document or that Gibb/Harrell had a special deal.

Did Fred Gibb sell any '67 or '68 Yenko Sports Cars(Stingers,Stormers or Camaros)?

Page 249 also mentions that "At least two of Nickey's former employees went on to make a name for themselves-Jim O'Connor, former Nickey Parts Department employee who went on to run the successful Berger Chevrolet High Performance Parts Department, and the one and only "Mr.Excitement" or "Mr. Chevrolet,Dick Harrell."
