Yenko Gauges ???

[Charley Lillard]

I also sent him a pm. He will show up.....

They're repops. Well, not really repops but rather something someone "created", as Yenko never produced or sold such gauges. I saw these or similar ones on ebay a couple years ago.

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 &quot;made-up&quot; 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?

It would be interesting to hear the outcome from the those in the know ... thanks ... TAZ

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.

Hi Guys, Well I thank you for all your help and your willingness to share your knowledge. I was hoping these were a real yenko item. Whoever made them did a real nice job. I haven't taken them apart to get a good look inside at the logos as I didn't want to damage them. I am going to keep them in my glass display case ( they are pretty cool). Thank you once again to all !!!!
