YENKO'S BEGINNINGS---BENTLEYVILLE, PA.

[JoeC]

there were a few people who built Yenko cars or helped out.

Yenko Chevy was able to build almost anything including national championship winning SCCA Corvettes but when a load of 50 or 100 cars came in they sometimes needed extra help to meet deadlines

some examples...

in 1965 -66, they had to build 100 1966 Stingers to homologate them for SCCA competition and only had about 4 or 5 weeks to complete them. Yenko would call in racing buddies and local shops to help out

In 1967, Yenko had to build 50 Yenko 427 Super Camaros to homologate them for AHRA Super Stock competition. Yenko had a deal with Dick Harrell to build some of them

Yenko had a deal with Hurst Inc to build some of the Yenko Deuces

there were others who helped with the many builds offsite of the Canonsburg dealership
