Re: YENKO'S BEGINNINGS---BENTLEYVILLE, PA.
The history of the Bentleyville location is covered pretty well in Bob McClurg's book about Yenko. We realize the impact of the Bentleyville location as integral to the success o the Caninsburg location.

Re: YENKO'S BEGINNINGS---BENTLEYVILLE, PA.
there were a few people who built Yenko cars or helped out.
Yenko Chevy was able to build almost anything including national championship winning SCCA Corvettes but when a load of 50 or 100 cars came in they sometimes needed extra help to meet deadlines some examples... in 1965 -66, they had to build 100 1966 Stingers to homologate them for SCCA competition and only had about 4 or 5 weeks to complete them. Yenko would call in racing buddies and local shops to help out In 1967, Yenko had to build 50 Yenko 427 Super Camaros to homologate them for AHRA Super Stock competition. Yenko had a deal with Dick Harrell to build some of them Yenko had a deal with Hurst Inc to build some of the Yenko Deuces there were others who helped with the many builds offsite of the Canonsburg dealership
