Default Real Yenko?????
Look at his add, owner claims it to be a real Yenko corvette. The only proof they have is that say it has a rockcrusher tranny that only came in yenkos. What do you think?

What do you think I think ?

I think my '61 is the very one used in filming the "Route 66" episodes.
I know this because I have the trunk luggage rack that came with it...just like the one used on the car on TV.

I have visited Yenko Chevrolet in my youth---it was a small PA dealership with a partial dirt floor in the service bay! Like ALL Chevy dealers they also sold trucks, vans, Vegas, and the rest of the Chevy line. A Yenko sold van does not have collector value. This guy is smoking crack.
