They are known for the Camaro and perhaps a rare Chevelle -- so why not a Corvette too?


P.S. FWIW, Don Yenko has passed away just like Caroll Shelby - but the nostalgia behind the name will probably live on for many years to come.

That '69 Vette was a Yenko sold car, but didn't have any special Yenko tuning or modifications, as Yenko never offered any "sYc" package on Corvettes. I know that car well, as well as the current owner and previous owners. It's a super original car that is a true survivor.
