Probably not. From wikipedia "Yenko stopped selling modified cars in 1972 and started publishing a performance parts catalog...."

There could have been parts added to your car or maybe only the name plate but presumably it wasn't a car modified by Yenko's dealership. I suppose that it could have been purchased there though.

Hi Y73,
Since Yenko was a Chevrolet dealership in Cannonsburg, Pa., I'm sure they had small plates they put on the cars they sold as most dealerships did in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Could what your seeing be one of those plates?
Regards,
Alan

more than likely that's what it is...
and if that's the case, it IS technically a "Yenko" (sold) corvette.... just not a Yenko built corvette....
