Yes, according to the list Friedley sold three Chevelles and the LB and FG cars are known but the DY car is not, so I will be paying attention to any '69 Chevelle that pops up!

Good possibility . There's more stories about the fate of that car than you have space for here.

One year later, more on this thread.

Last Thursday I was in line at a funeral visitation, talking cars with a friend who was in line in front of me. The gentleman behind me joins in and states that he was the original owner of the white Friedley sold Yenko Chevelle!! I didn't get much more info, but we agreed to talk later.

Also, Harold Freidley, the previous owner of Freidley Olds/GMC who sold the Yenko cars locally, passed away two weeks ago at age 92.

I have been told that Freidley sold one Yenko Nova? Any truth to that??

The Dover White Chevelle is owned by Reggie Jackson. It was at Mecum Indy in 2018 with a number of other cars from his collection but didn't sell. It was owned by Carl Dwiggins back in the 80's.

The LeMans Blue Chevelle was owned by Tom Billigen. I saw it at the Super Chevy Show in Joliet in 2001 and at the Super Chevy Show in Indy in 2002. He had it for sale on this site but I don't know who bought it.

The LeMans Blue Camaro was bought from Cliff Ernst by it's original owner back in the late 90's. I assume he still owns it. It along with the Fathom Green Camaro from Freidley were at the Chevy Vette Fest in 2003.

I see in the registry there is another Fathom Green Camaro 614328 that is shown as being sold by Freidley, but it doesn't show that car as being a Yenko. This car has the earliest VIN of the 4 Camaros so I assume it is a Yenko as well.

If one was, it must have lead a quiet life, or the stripes came off right away. Only heard stories about the Yenko Camaros. Rapids Chev in Cedar Rapids had deuces. Maybe that's what he's thinking of.
