Yenko Chevelle Drag Test - York US 30 Dragway
This is a great article on a stock Yenko Chevelle put through its paces. Dick Williams a Yenko associate took the first passes with a best time of 13.66 and back that time up multiple time. The evening runs were the fastest with Paul Diesher of Marshall Chevrolet with a 13.31 @ 108.04mph, the best of the day. Paul had double duty because the car was on loan and heading back to Marshall Chevrolet, the selling dealer in Reading, Pa.

The article said the shifter was the stock Muncie type and worked very well. First time I've ever heard that! Thanks for sharing this.

That is a great Yenko article for a number of reasons.
one is , it shows a hard to find original engine photo showing no decal on the air filter lid. This has been debated whether the COPO 427 cars had a 427 decal on the lid or did Yenko add a 427 decal to the air filter lid on some of the Yenko 427 cars. not many original engine photos have been found to help make a correct lid restoration |
