Default Another Yenko being restored

This Yenko Corvair was sold new thru SPAN Inc. to Loren Reineking from Des Moines Iowa.Number 017. It has come back to the Des Moines area after 52 years and will soon be reunited with its original owner. Owners 2 and 3 are also from the area and in fact our part time mechanic worked on this car for his buddy, the 3rd owner in the mid 70s.

That's awesome. Glad to see another one being restored. One of my old Stingers just sold last month for 200k plus the juice. I wish I was the seller!!!

Was very educational as we have never restored a corvair here before. Technology ahead of its time.
