Lancaster, PA Yenko Chevelle

[JoeC]

another possibility is that this Chevelle was from Jack Douglass Chevrolet.

A Douglass converted 427 COPO may have had different placement of stripes and emblems even less consistent then the Yenko Chevrolet converted cars

the red Yenko Chevelle with side pipes was posted on team chevelle.

It was said that the original owner brought it to the show.

There were 2 pictures posted, this is the other and has a time stamp 9/22/2012

or... the first pic is of a non Yenko with emblems slapped on. People did that even back then. We may be looking at a 307 Malibu with Yenko emblems on it

The hood looks to be more faded the the rest of the car.

It’s not a Malibu. It’s got all the details of a COPO, and Yenko badges, including Yenko specific 427s. It’s a Yenko.

The picture of the Garnet Red Yenko at Carlisle doesn't have a grill bowtie. Do you think the owner removed it or did some come like that?

the red one with side pipes is missing a bunch of trim, windshield trim, front fender opening, grill bowtie, grill eyebrow

maybe the guy was working on it

looking through some Yenko Chevelle pictures

here is a restored one with black stripes but I don't know if it is the same car from the 1977 picture posted here

the one next to it with white stripes was a one owner car at the time and may still be

I believe the Yenko Chevelle that Warren posted is VIN #356640, originally purchased from Marshall Chev in Reading, PA by F. Delewski of Summit Ave, Reading, PA on 5/2/1969. It was last titled in PA to a K. Shelton of Manheim, PA in the mid-late '70's, no DMV records since then.
