tires Listed in Yenko registry The Yenko Chevelle offered here is
the recipient of a pain-staking restoration, and it has excellent
provenance and a wonderful story. On June 24, 1969, Ms. Josephine
Gresko drove her 1964 4-speed Impala into Yenko Chevrolet in
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, looking for a trade-in on a new
performance car. Assisted by salesman Howard Liverey, she purchased
the COPO Yenko super car you see here. Painted Fathom Green with
White SYC graphics and emblems, this is only a two-owner vehicle,
having been traded into Bill Keith Auto Sales in Wexford,
Pennsylvania, in 1976, where the current owner's parents bought it
for him as he was too young to sign the paperwork. This is a rare
opportunity to become its third owner and next caretaker. Built in
Baltimore, this COPO 9562 was well-optioned to be sold directly by
Yenko. One major factor in the car's curbside appeal is the
15x7-inch COPO Chevelle Rally wheels and special Goodyear Polyglas
F70-15 tires. These were part of a second COPO code, 9737 Sports
Car Conversion, which Yenko often used. This also put the correct
speedometer pinion and a larger front stabilizer bar into the car.
The L72 427/425 HP big-block engine is numbers-matching, and it is
backed by a Hurst-shifted M21 close-ratio 4-speed. Power front disc
brakes, 4.10:1 rear gear, and Yenko-installed Stewart-Warner tach
are also on it; this particular car was also delivered with a bench
seat cloth interior, not often seen on a 4-speed package. A
complete nut-and-bolt restoration was completed in 2013. The sale
includes the Gresko order form which was hand-written at Yenko, a
GM shipping report on the car, and the Yenko car invoice. At one
time overshadowed by its smaller sibling, real COPO Chevelles have
become hot commodities on the collectors market; few have a
background as interesting and documented as this one.
