[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: livettes</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Is the 69 Lemans Blue with black vinyl top? Mine is an old race car that was originally Lemans Blue black vinyl top. Sold out of Colonial but I have very little history on it and don't know if the stripes should be black or white.
Could you give more information on the 69?
Thanks, Jamie </div></div>

At first I thought the Yenko Inventory Sheet had a notation about stripe color by your car - but it doesn't, [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] only that it came with the gauge set...

Looks like I'll go ahead and post the vintage pics of YS8030 in our registry.

supercomp 8.90,

Thank you for checking on the dealer. I went back and checked the Info on the 67 Yenko on the same line of the 68 registry with 8030. This 67 was YS 743, probably Bolero Red, and confirmed VIN of 7N241523, and sold at Branine in Kansas. Thank You for your efforts. We all would love to see any docs on this car if any appear.

Thanks,
Bryan

My partner and I bought 8030 from a kid in Sarasota around 1995. It was basically in boxes. We restored it (he did all the work) to flawless condition. All parts were NOS. All casting numbers matched. We sold it to a dealer in Mississippi, I don't know what happened after that.

What a beauty.

As stated, I was at Mike Thompson's shop a few months ago discussing an engine build. I used to work with his wife; good guy. Another guy I met online who lives in Naples part-time is Joseph Mason, who raced a Motion Camaro and his brother raced a Motion '67 Chevelle that being redone now, and I think Bill Barnett, the former mayor of Naples, raced a yet different Yenko I think as well. Crazy they're all here in my little town.

I owned 8030 for awhile. Not sure who has it now.
