1969 Yellow Yenko Chevelle Clone

Yes, there were/are Yenko Chevelles with bench seats. But, please refrain from calling "your" clone a Yenko, when it's a SS396 Chevelle.

It is what it is and appears to be a nice car for the money, but I wish it was green.

What would be nice is if people would come here and sign up to be involved rather than just to try to sell their stuff.

JMHO.

I would love to be more invilved, however I run four websites for all kinds of cars for sale and do not have time to be invilved in every website devoted to each kind of car.

I agree Supergas. Jasper...neat car...hardly a re-creation but neat none the less for the money. Don't expect to come here...slap a for sale ad with a lofty "best in the country re-creation" spiel and not have people try and help you understand why it isn't. I don't see anything proving it as a real SS396 either..

Yenko's did look just like a Chevelle with stripes when they were new, duh!!! Maybe because that is what they are.

If this was repainted to the original Fathom Green, it would be a dead on copy.

This will be my last post. and I am sure some of you will love that. I have never been on such a negative forumn. Everybody is ready to pick everyone else apart. I have never, on my websites, or on ANY forumn, tried to deride any other person's car of disrespect anyone in any way.

That does not seem to be the case here.

There are only about 30 Yenko Chevelles that have been found. Do all you guys cutting my clone own one of the originals? If not could you afford one if you found one/ I bet not is the answer for most of you.

am 56 years old and have been around muscle cars since the 60's. I have owned "real" LS6's, L88's, Ram Air GTO's, and many others, back when they were new. If you want to find out about me and the cars i own, check out the November issue of CORVETTE FEVER MAGAZINE where there is a 5 page article about me and my 1971 LS5 454 Corvette and other cars I have owned.

Most of us could afford them back then, but not now. That's why I built the clone. If you don't like it, great, that's your opinion. But as the old saying goes, "If you can't say something good, then don't say nothing at all." After this experience on this forumn, that is why I will say nothing else.

It's not negative. All you came here for was to sell a car you described as "possibly the best Yenko Chevelle re-creation" and it doesn't even have a Holley carb. It's not even close. Then you want to educate everyone here about Yenko Chevelles. Like I said , neat car for a decent price...whatever it started life as you can tell a lot of work went into it.

Wrong. Many Yenko Chevelles had bench seats. I'd bet more had bench than buckets actually.

[/ QUOTE ]Show me some!! ive never heard of one.

My Yenko Chevelle came originaly with a bench seat, and if I recall correctly is was the funky cloth one...but it's kind of an oddball anyway, as it also originally had a dark green vinyl top...

Now for the next question, Were there any Yenko's built without Holley carb's?

The Holley was used on all L72 applications, therefore all Yenko 427 Chevelles would have had a Holley.
