I became acquainted with Donna Mae Mims, Jim Spencer and many others, not realizing until later that they were nationally renowned. I replied that I hadn't but I was not really writing this one either, but rather assembling it from boxes of parts. I remember sitting in a 1964 Impala 409 and kicking the starter while he adjusted the valves or helping him put a Camaro on the chassis dyno. I
This book was done just because. Visits to Yenko Chevrolet became routine and since no one made an effort to throw me out, I wandered around the shops, talking to everyone and looking over their shoulders as they worked. I suspect they were too closely involved to see the larger picture. About the Author When I was 7 or 8 years old my mother enrolled me in the You Are There Book Club. I scraped together enough money to buy Stinger YS037 and returned to the dealership often to look at the cars and performance parts on display.

Written by Mark Gillespie who worked for Yenko back in the heyday of the Muscle Car era. Packed full of great information including invoices, factory info, pricing, etc. From its humble beginnings in the small industrial city of Canonsburg, PA, this book tells the story of the small, family-owned Yenko Chevrolet dealership responsible for creating the most prized cars of the Muscle-Car era and resulted in creator Don Yenko's cult following. 8-1/2 x 11, Softbound, 168 pages.
"Great Book,First of its kind On Just Yenko." according to Jose Lopez. I love this book, Its a Softcover, and small.and costly. But. Its the only one thus far on the Great Don Yenko. Several Documents are in the book, BW and Color. DX Corvette in there with Garner,Some Sunray Dx Mention. Nothing Major. But alot on the Corvairs(Stingers), Nova, Etc. and the operation. Sadly, This Genius is no longer with us. Book is Self-Published, But A Great Book, Lots of info, and Look At Yenko.A Must for any true Chevy Head and/or Yenko Fans.. Amazon Customer said Excellent Read for Trivia Buffs. Very cool book for anyone who is a Yenko buff!! I never get tired of picking it up and reading through it. Every time I do pick it up I find something new and interesting that I hadn't seen before.. The Legend by Bob McClurg is a far superior book to read for anyone interested in the man Eric Not worth the money. The entire book is just printed invoices with the Yenko name. Yenko: The Man, The Machines, The Legend by Bob McClurg is a far superior book to read for anyone interested in the man and his cars !!!!
