Default Original Station

This is the Gas Station that was owned by the Russo family. The father Patsy Russo and son Rich owned the station for several years. Patsy was a salesman at Yenko Chevrolet as well. Their station did small projects for Yenko Chevrolet according to Rich. Items such as tires, Rearend swaps, Headers, etc. They did not want to tie up there 2 bay garage for too long.

that's pretty cool,never knew there was any connection between the Russo's and Yenko..other than both being in Canonsburg. early 80's a good friend worked at that gas station and I can remember hanging out with him there. don't ever remember it being Sunoco back then..but that was a long time ago,you know how memories are..lol you guys are doing a beautiful job on this car,can't wait to see it done!

I found 3 ORIGINAL Yenko badges that will proudly be installed on the car. Much better than the reproductions that you always see. I learned a good lesson from repro vs original.
