69 Chevelle Yenko wagon

[BADNBLK]

So my boss takes a road trip to Northwest a few weeks back, and runs across this 69 Chevelle wagon all dressed up like a Yenko... called me super excited about his find. I tell him there was never a yenko wagon. He proceeds to remember seeing one in a magazine and long story short... its getting shipped here.

This is what he was remembering... http://blogs.hotrod.com/ebay-find-ye...agon-8559.html

He now has a replica of a clone... So what should we do with this thing?

Well if it looks like that blue one, paint the master cylinder and change the heater hoses and drive the wheels off it! Pretty killer IMO!! Love the big block and extra pedal!!

If it don't look like the blue one.....make it!! LOL!

Here are couple actual pics of the car we are getting...



Turns out it has a 454 dressed as 427, and auto trans. As you can see this not quite the same condition as the HR article one.

That reminds me of my high school days, the neighbor had a 307 auto wagon...

Hmmmm, match the Camaro. Black with red Yenko stripes, lowered, fat 18's with black centers...

I would rock it

Just enjoy it. Wagons are a lot of fun. Keep your expectations low, and it'll surpass them. LOL!

If you really want to have fun, upgrade the suspension, rolling stock, and brakes. Mine works pretty good on-track, down the 1/4-mile, and out on the open road. I just won Car Craft RSE with it, so it can't suck too bad.

I think it's cool!
Different is good.

My parents has a wagon back in the day and I used to love that thing!

Full suspension, brake and wheel swap to update the handling and stance ASAP and an overdrive if it needs it on the freeway and you will be golden!

Sounds about right if the car was coming to my house instead of my boss. I'm sure even if my test drive is only one time... I will have fun!

Should be showing up any day. I will post a some more pics!

That's what you call paying "tribute" to a "clone"!

I like it! Actually sounds more important than "clone"

Change out that flat hood for the SS hood other than that enjoy it.

[BADNBLK]

Well the car showed up. I need to upload some of the other pics, but here are some cell phone pics...



I broke out the polishing wheel to see if we could bring out a little shine out of the chalky paint



Turned out ok. The car was a 20 footer, and now a 10 footer haha!

That's pretty cool looking- the stripes look like somebody cared enough to try hard. It's screaming out for an SS hood though! Too bad you're not keeping it...I'd love to see what you could do with it.

We pulled the engine and replaced the rear main, and oil pan gaskets... Leaving 12" puddles everywhere it was parked. Fixing a few small things and ordering some missing pieces, and then we will see if we can get the money back out of it.

Couple pics while we were pulling the engine for the rear main seal leak repair.
