Was Yenko already closed by the time the EPA declared the property dangerous? If Yenko was still open, what became of the cars in the yard? Did the EPA really make Yenko destroy all the cars?

from what I remember..
there was a uranium processing plant there in the 1950's that had been cleaned up and was an empty lot.
Yenko rented it as a storage lot in the 1960s and 70s.
the EPA declared it a Radiation Hazard site in the 1980s and fenced it off and did another clean up including capping it so now the grade is a lot higher then it was when Yenko used it.

Joe, I've visited the site before, how did they get across
the creek that sits behind the dealership back then???

I've posted these before. No hood stripe, no Yenko SC on the quarters, no Yenko or 427 badge on a very real car.

PID! I remember that place as a kid. Those Daddy's Toy Mopars were always nice looking cars.
