Yenko Cars Again

[Keith Tedford]

The Yenko name is back again but, to me, it just isn't the same. The first time around, in '69, there was no fanfare. There was absolutely no hoopla. It just happened. The COPO option just appeared. The dealer
where we bought our cars didn't even know about them until given the COPO 9566AA code to look up. Then
things happened. The little dealer in Port Perry ended up selling three COPO Chevelles and an L88 Corvette.
They had one salesman, who now lives near Haliburton, and he was into muscle cars. As a result of Al's interest they sold a lot of other muscle cars too. Now we have this and it is nice to see.

Great article Keith. Like the photo opportunities at the old Yenko Dealership.

Over the years I have seen a couple, I think they had modified Corvairs as well.

I really enjoyed that article Keith....a Yenko muscle car is definitely on anyone's dreamcar garage!

Neat article. Nice to bring back some Yenko cars and I agree that it's not really the same as it was, however, it is nice that it's more than just a decal package.
