Hey there everybody!
I am looking for some opinions here. I have a good friend that passed a few years ago, and his wife has offered me his '68 Yenko small block coupe to buy. He was the original owner, and although he did some modifications to the car, all the original equipment comes with the car, as well as all the paperwork from Don Yenko including all the modifications, tank sticker, etc, etc, etc. I know the Camaros are going for a lot of $$, but I am not sure of the SB Vettes.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Go for it! All the parts you need, and the right paper. Hit that piggy in the eye, and make him give up the needed funds. Just remember, "Time & Money" "Time & Money" No regrets.

Yenko (street)Corvettes weren't as popular at the time as the Camaros, Novas, and Impalas. I would certainly take a look, depending on how much the asking price is, and the condition. Most of Yenko's "Super" cars were big blocks, but they did some nice stuff with the mouse engined cars, too. I'd love to see some pics of it, if nothing else!

If I had the money, I would certainly buy it! Besides, you'd be honoring your friend and could think of the good times every time you drove it!
