Default Yenko corvette

I frequently visit the canonsburg area, I have family, friends and often work there, a couple weeks ago I decided to stop at a local bar/restaurant after work for a cold one, the place has a race car theme and the walls are covered with old drag race photos from local tracks. In the front entrance way there's a glass display case with some yenko pictures. Since I never saw one of them posted before I took these with my cell phone through the glass.I did ask and they said that they would make me a copy, will post a better pic if I get one

In 1971 a client desired L88 Corvette, since they were no longer available new, he requested that Yenko build him one. The 1969 Corvette in the picture was selected from the used car lot, it was a blue with blue interior, 350/350. When completed it had a built L88, the best of everything in the driveline, competition fender flairs, the widest wheel and tires that would fit. It was refinished in black with silver striping, the interior was redone in a off white vinyl and was very handsom. The repair orders totaled in excess of $17,000.00 not including the car. The client took delivery of the Corvette on a Tuesday evening and traded it back in on Thursday. The mechanic pictured with Don is Chuck Morano. I had the opportunity to drive this Corvette on several occasions.
