C10's at Yenko Chevrolet - neat old photo - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1968SWBBigBlock · 12-28-2008, 09:33 PM

I stumbled onto this photo of Yenko Chevrolet circa 1968
Check out the C10's separating the Camaros
Kinda neat to see them getting up front billing with the Camaro

**special-K** · 12-28-2008, 09:36 PM

Cool picture.Look at that,a longbed Stepside center front in there with the Camaros.

72BlckButy · 12-28-2008, 09:50 PM

Is it me, or do I see two long stepper's? One to the very left and one in the center.

i know i see two long steppers so it isn't just you

Just curious how my post got cancelled from this thread. I went and found the same photo and posted it because you forgot to post the pic. I also found a picture of the abandoned Yenko dealership and posted it. Why were my replies and pics deleted. there were also 2 other comments deleted of people asking where the picture was. Kinda honks me off that someone would do that. Nothing was offensive, SO WHY?

LuckyHenriksen · 12-29-2008, 10:18 AM

Dude the same guy started this same thread twice in one day, the one you and I were commenting on could have been the other one.

orginal post had to be deleted by the orginal poster.. moderators normally wont delete posts, just edit them when necessary.. with that said, how about reposting that pic of the abandoned Yenk dealership?

I wish I could find a time machine and have the money to go buy some of these things when they were new.. I would have a heck of a shopping list!

rscam · 12-29-2008, 11:10 AM

Here we go again. First is the abandoned pic. Second is a artist rendoring. Third is the top pic without the glare.

caminokid · 12-29-2008, 11:47 AM

You know why the trucks were separating the Camaro's??? To keep them from fighting!

Yeah I know lame joke...I will shut up now.

**special-K** · 12-29-2008, 12:09 PM

Hey,I`m sorry I deleted the pictures.I saw the duplicate threads and this one had the picture he meant to show,so I chose to delete the other.I only looked at his two original posts.Combining threads gets people confused,too.
Cool painting.It looks like a V-Twin Parts dealer sign in the window of the abandoned bldg. I`d like to have that building or other old dealership.

The old Chevrolet dealer where my '69 was bought new is still there, and I would also love to have the building. I snapped a few pics of my truck in front of it. I run a dealer plate from the old dealership on the front bumper. The building is being used as a gym now.

HavinSomeFun · 12-30-2008, 12:10 AM

if I knew then what I know now...I would have 2 dozen Yenko's running in Barret Jackson auction and another dozen just for me....

Wootdog · 12-30-2008, 07:02 PM

I have always wanted to own a old gas station or shop. That way I could get all six of my vehicles out of the weather instead of the one. Oh and it is the oldest. The 67 C10 in my signature.

Boy what a treat to see the Yenko dealership again. Me and my brother went to the store to have his corvair tuned up in 1968. What a trip, winter time in the Alageny mountains. Don Yenko let me sit in any vehicle i wanted to, because we spent the whole day waiting for the car to be finished. The ride home was a blast.

big_al_71 · 12-30-2008, 10:05 PM

I really like to look at all those old picts,,,,,I would love to have been old enought to drive during that era..

Chevymann1968 · 12-30-2008, 10:13 PM

I envy you guy!!!! I wish i could have seen that kind of dealership!!!!
Just wasnt born in the right era!!!

Had to bump this old thread because the old Yenko Dealership picture is awesome and needed to be seen by more members!

Any more old Yenko Dealership pics out there?
