Jerry Strong was a friend of my fathers and actually is the one who told be about the car being a Yenko. He actually was the person who pointed me to this group to inquire. Sorry about the lapse in communication, my job requires me to be out of cell service for days at a time due to the fact that I work remotely. I am currently in the process of scanning photos and other documents to post.

Just an anecdote on Colorado law back in the day. In 1980 when I was going to diesel school in Denver I lived in a rented house in a suburb outside of Denver. We had some crabby neighbors who were always calling the police on us for no reason. Too many cars in the driveway...oil drips on the street, too many pretty ladies visiting the house, etc.

Anyway, the &quot;Crabbies&quot; eventually moved out and when they did they left their 1972 Chevy Vega parked in front of our house (*among other items left behind). It sat there for three months gathering parking tickets. No one ever came to get it. So I called the police and they said to go to the DMV and apply for an abandoned vehicle title and then do whatever I wanted with it. I did just that. All I had to show was the police report, reporting it as abandoned and they issued a title and registration for around $25. I eventually traded the car in to a used car dealer who had a connection to a wrecking yard. At the wrecking yard was a rusty 1971 383 Cuda convertible that had been abandoned at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver! I got the Cuda with a bill of sale, and applied for title and got it.

* as for the other items? One of which was a six-foot tall pot plant that the police noticed on the Crabby family's screened-in back porch. They promptly seized it and took it away in the trunk of their patrol car, smiling as they drove away.
