Default Re: 1969 yenko chevelle on ebay

the car in question was indeed an L88..however the engine was installed by Yenko at SUN Chevrolet which Yenko owned part of and where his race hardware was stored...the car was originaly ordered as a COPO L71 tripowered aluminum head engine unlike the others that were 425hp units...the car was also BLACK which Yenko painted BLUE........this is where all the numbers get all jumbled up and not a one of you actualy knows the cars true history...it WAS raced by Don Yenko and they put together 3 of these with L88 engines to where this one is the only survivor........it IS a true YENKO as he built the car or his company did as lets say what Mr.Norm/Grand Spaulding Dodge/Nickey Chevy/Baldwin and a few others did when an order came in for a bigger engine and so on....the FIRST title holder who owned the car since '72 just sold it...for a hefty sum...IT IS THE REAL DEAL...please no arguments.....these are facts...
