Yenko Turbo Z

**livettes** · #1 07-09-2016, 12:54 AM

Looking for anyone who may be familiar with the silver Yenko Turbo Z (Prototype?) that was on Ebay this past week.
The car looks pretty honest and I have been in contact with the owner who seems to be a good guy.
I am interested in the car and I bet someone here may know the backstory on it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jamie

Thanks for the link.

No paper no car. This one might be different, but it also might as well be a LS6/L89/JL8 '75 Baldwin Motion Vega clone.

And the two Prototypes were actually 1980 cars?

there may be a thread on that car from years ago when it was for sale
looks to be in the same shape as before
the valve covers look like the fake Yenko covers that are sold for BB and SB

Pete, the ad is not saying there were 2 prototypes but 2 cars were made and the prototype of the 2 is available for sale.

Interesting info as I expected both would be prototypes being 1980 cars, not 81's as production?
Not trying to be smart but for clarification, are you surmising this or do you know it as a fact of these cars?
If true and the 1'st car the only Prototype, the 2'nd 1980 built would be known as a pre-production car?
Are the Vins of these two 1980 cars known?
