Shouldn't that location be declared a National Historic Landmark.

It should be... because if it's not, I'm afraid its gonna be torn down sooner than later. Here's a recent pic of the place... it's in sad shape and needs some TLC ASAP.

Buy it Joey! The "ultimate" piece of Yenko memorabilia! What a perfect place for the Yenko museum! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

I'll buy it if a bunch of Yenko owners agree to fill the empty lot with their cars https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

It DOES sorta surprise me that no one with the means who is interested in these cars has ever attempted to buy the building... How cool would be be to actually OWN the original Yenko Chevrolet dealership?

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

Perfect location for SCR13. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

It's Brians Birthday and Christmas too. Maybe Pam will surprise him.

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.

Well, sorta.. the siding was actually just added within the last 4 or 5 years... but prior to that it was painted over with white, but you could still see the faint silloutte of the "YENKO" letters in the right light. Heck,come to think of it, that could have been closer to 10 years ago now...

Great post Sam. Brought back a lot of memories. I can actually see the spot where our old Deuce was sitting when we arrived at the dealership all those years ago. Can also see where Earl drove and parked the car after we came back from the test ride. I had forgotten how small the lot actually was, it had grown a lot bigger in my mind over the years. Linda

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

Hey Linda. Merry Christmas! Hope you and Earl are keeping warm. Glad you enjoyed seeing the old dealership. Surprising how much it hasn't changed.

Cheers! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

Where was your Deuce parked when you got there Linda?

Hi Marlin, Sorry it took so long to get back to your question. I've been working a lot of 12 hour midnight shifts and I also wanted to verify what I remember with what Earl remembers. If you go the "poke here" site that Sam posted and face the dealership I'll give you a run through.
First count the single car out front as row 1. We don't remember much about that row. Sitting somewhere in row 2 Earl remembers a used Yenko Camaro, he thinks either blue or green. First in row 3 was a silver deuce, then our FB deuce, then we think a yellow one and next to it a FG deuce. We don't remember any of the other colors being there at the time. I remember the FG deuce because it too caught our eye but when we checked it out a little closer we found it was an automatice and we both wanted a four speed.
When we came back from our test ride, the salesman pulled the car in front of the showroom and Earl was allowed to drive the car back and park it in its spot. You'll remember on the original post about the car that we weren't allowed to actually take the car for a test drive. Was that standard procedure or did it have something to do with Earl's long hair and "bad boy" look at the time? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif When we went back to the dealership to pick up the car I remember leaving the lot sideways and an awful lot of rubber being left on the road. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif That was Earl's version of the longed for test drive!! What wonderful memories!!! We think that's pretty accurate. Linda and Earl

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

Aw Linda, now you painted some nice visual imagery https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif . You and Earl were definitely in a Yenko-rich-environment. Your exit strategy from the dealership was inspired. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

Yours has had a much better life than that poor yellow deuce. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif Them dealers wasn't any to keen on lettin us hippies drive those deuces. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif Me neither. And we also left sideways as you turned right from Rapid's and went up the 1st ave hill. Didn't take much did it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Beautiful day in SW PA.
 

Schoneye is right, the yellow deuce is still alive - barely https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif The silver one is toast, I believe it was rolled over - it's still titled as owned by 'Yenko Leasing'. Not sure on the FG one - but not surprised since we don't have very many inventory sheets for the a/t cars.

Nice to know the lay of the land back in the day - thanks Linda!
