I've helped a couple guys in the past few years with this, and best as I can tell they've gotten nowhere. We still have some of the original correspondence between NHRA & Don Yenko trying to get the car approved...I'm not sure what the hold up was, as they were factory built (Yenko simply did stripes/emblems). Yenko got 175 of them, and there were for sure 2 others that went to Canada (and have GM of Canada paperwork) and rumors have circulated for years that a couple other dealers got a car or two as well. I'm not sure what the NHRA needs to get a classification on these cars, but I'm guessing it must be something from Chevrolet, and I'd say they haven't been interested in several decades now (if they ever were).

Can someone elaborate on *exactly* what is needed by the NHRA?

If there's anything I could do to help please let me know...--> chevy454 at yenko.net
