I think that you and Annie were destined to get a car like this. I mean, after decades of restoring other folks special cars only to watch them leave, that ain't gonna happen with this one. Karmic payback IMO, for nearly half a century this one sat in the same spot waiting for you.

Eddie,

I think Brian Henderson said about 1/3rd of the 69 Yenko Chevelles have been found as of about 3 or 4 years ago? I also know a gent in Pennsylvania that is certain he scrapped one for parts about 20 years ago. I'm sure a good number of them are history.
