Who Wants To Buy The Yenko Dealership??

AutoInsane · #1 11-04-2010, 05:52 PM

I don't even know if it is for sale but it should be bought and preserved as a tribute to Don Yenko and his cars. Perhaps a non-profit could be set up and donations taken??? It would be a shame if it were knocked down to build a 7-11! I wonder what it could possibly cost... ??

I've been waiting for years for this post. I thought someone would have done it years ago and made a museum. Can you get grants in the USA for stuff like that if it is "not for profit?" and yet you can pay folks to run it.

A while back, there was a really cool Mopar show held at an old dealership, and it was done up 1969 style. Seems like someone should be able to rent the old Yenko dealership for a week or two, fix it up with Yenko artifacts, and have a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime show.

That would be awesome. Kinda like this only on a bigger scale and at the actual dealership. Thanks Caleb.

Anyone ever looked into buying the property? Any idea of what the cost would be?

I think the Barr Family would be perfect. They have enough stuff to fill it and keep it open. Marlin as the Director and Tom C. as the President. Done deal. Where do I send my donation? Sam

I would make a donation for such a cause to.

You guys have an early case of Cabin Fever!!!!!

I have to many grandkids to have cabin fever or ever be bored. I think if that place can be preserved it should be. You are an account. Maybe we can figure out how to sell stock and we can all own a small piece of history.

I'm sure someone on here knows the staus of who owns the property and what it might cost to buy it.... does anyone from the area know a realtor?

Just think how unhappy we would all be if pictures show up on here of the Yenko dealership being knocked down in the name of progress......
