Partially true - real Yenko, still had some original stripes left, but not a drag car - the car had been hit very hard in the front - enough to bend up the frame. No original drivetrain. It now looks 'new'!

Anyone remember an old Mopar that ran at PID and Keystone, Daddy's Toy? I think it might have been an old Coronet (66/67/?) painted a candy red or burgundy color? Always a crowd favorite and a beautiful car, at least to a 10 year old boy, lol.

JJib...it looks like the same Yellow Yenko on the first page of this tread posted by Supercar Kid....no? Marlin is right, I would track down your friend to see whatever happened to the car.

Yes its the same car. I've check on my friend and the Yenko for years, seems like they both dropped off the end of the earth. I made an offer on the car when it sat in his yard for about 2 years, but he was going to fix it up and drive it again. Never saw it after that.

Sad, but common, story! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] But hey - keep searching, many times these cars don't go far. I was searching for a silver deuce in RI via a 'for sale' ad in a Super Chevy magazine from '84'ish. Turned out, the car was a few houses down the street - a neighbor had bought it. You never know......
