Hey Rick. I gave that a go too. They're never leaving as they're keepsakes to remember his wife by. I'm hoping someone here on the Yenko page or CRG was able to take photos back in the early 2000s.

I got a bit more info out of him today in what was to be our last conversation pertaining to the car. He has the buildsheet, emblems, tag, transmission (it's got a T56A in it now). He sucked up the emblems out of the trunk where stuff falls between the quarter/trunk.

He mentioned that the car was in Norfolk, VA before it came out west. He believes between there and Nevada the car made a stop at Yenko. I didn't push anymore. He's been bothered a lot over this car the last 20 years.

Its hard for me to understand why a picture of the supposed YS tag would cause any issues. I heard a "story" that it was damaged in a car accident and the last digit was not identifiable. We never had any pics of the tag and don't believe CRG either.

Wes in your extensive research prior to purchasing and following have you found anyone who saw the tag. Have you found anyone who has any firsthand info regarding the validity of the Yenko claim other than the previous owner you speak with.

That is why I created this post. From what I've read the threshold of getting a car on this list is very high. As I asked earlier, and no one has yet answered, who put this car on the list? It appears to have generated from either the CRG or Yenko.net. That, in a nutshell, is why I created this post.

Fantastic now it's time to move on. You spoke to people on the site who told you what was known and discouraged you from purchasing.

So calling out someone will satisfy you? At the time it supposedly had a YS tag, NCRS muscle docs were not available so couldn't confirm dealer. Just like you, we were convince of the tag that is how it ended up on multiple lists. Hope you feel better...
