While I'll agree Yenko did some interesting things and one-off's, these guages aren't one of his projects. They were sold on ebay several years ago, either this set or another set like them. I recall seeing these and some of the other stuff the seller had listed was also "made-up" or embellished. i don't know if this is the same set, or if he made and sold dozens of sets. What i DO know is that they have no connection to Yenko Chevrolet or Yenko Sportscars Inc.
In a semi-related thought... about 5 or 6 years ago there was an ebay seller who was selling leather key fobs from virtually every high perfomance dealer known to man. When you saw one auction you thought it was a rare NOS piece, then looked at the other auctions and saw dozens of similar fobs, Yenko, Mr. Norm, Scuncio, Berger, Shelby American, etc. All were the same leather snap closure fobs, and he was having different dealerships hot pressed into them and called them NOS. Anyone remember those? </div></div>
I think the NOS MP key FOB started the whole dealer FOB insanity....That was a cool piece, now bastardized by all the repop crap.
