Default Yenko Dealer sites in the area

I am going to be in the Pittsburgh area and wanted to do some Yenko site seeing. I have the address for the old building and for Yenko Honda. Where is the off site yard that Yenko stored the cars? Any other places to see related to Yenko dealership?

JoeC;
Just go to the back of the old building, you will find a little creek. Across the creek, up the hill is where the cars were stored. Its all locked now from what I understand, that whole radioactive thing. Jim Buckles was supposed to be watching the creek from the embankment across the street from Yenko, behind the Dairy Queen. When the parts kept disappearing, they spied on Jim and found him sleeping with his shotgun! When they put a guard dog in the lot, he dissappeared along with more parts! Donnie Mae has lots of cool stories like these.

A reunion with ex-Yenko employees and some Yenko cars at the old Yenko dealership would be fun.
