But that rear badge ... I dunno. Yes...Yenko modified cars are some of the highest value you can find. Dave, Respect your opinion. Given the rear badge was put on by the dealer, you would take it off? Ever since I realized it was a dealer add-on I've been struggling with this. What about taking off the rocker panel lettering and the aluminum kick plates? Seems to me it either all has to go or all has to stay? |

I just bought a72 & the seller put a red 'Turbo' after the 914. I think it went faster than his bike so he thought it must be a turbo!! :-)

Well, it appears these items were added by the dealer in an attempt to bump up the price. So personally, I don't find them sacred items that can't be removed. The stripes don't bother me, but the other two items, aesthetically, don't do it for me. I guess I'd look at how difficult those items would be to remove without damaging what's behind them. But again, it's your car and your call, so please do what feels right to you. |

Actually, Tom and Eric may have stumbled on to something. Yenko did own a Porsche Audi dealership during the Seventies. I think it would be interesting to find out what dealerships did make changes to these cars. Yenko may have done their thing to some 914s and considering their history and the current value of their Camaros, a Yenko 914S could be more rare than a 916. |

I looked at this car about 12 years ago. The owner claimed it was some kind of special dealership built car. I thought he was delusional or trying to blow smoke up my keester. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) If Yenko did own a dealership, could this have been one of his cars ? Don was known for putting decals on his cars, and I have never seen this decal on another 914, it also had a odd interior cloth. Not a houndstooth, but a similar pattern (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s)

Scooter... The are at least 3 confirmed Yenko built 914s with that stripe package floating around the Pennsylvania countryside. When asked, Don stated:
"...our first Yenko car was a 65 corvair. When I saw the 914 at our Porsche Audi dealership, it just came natural. Air-cooled, engine in the middle and it had those looks that reminded me of our first "Yenko". Aside from the side strips, there was a slight interior treatment and we made sure each one of the Yenko 914s had every bit included in the handling package offered by the factory at the time. But hey, I'm a Chevy guy..." |

Great. So I passed up a potentially valuable car. Story of my life right up there with the '69 Boss 302 I could have had for 1000.00 in high school and didn't have the money because I had blown it on VW crap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I was looking at a used 67 Yenko Corvair in San Diego back in 69 for my first car, & was getting ready to pull the trigger, when the seller blew the motor street racing it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I think he got scrap price of a few $100s & I went on to get my 1st car as a `68 Opel Kadette 2dr notchback sedan with a whopping 1.0L mated to a 4spd & fancy-schmancy rubber floor mats! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) By the time of the Open, my folks had talked me into being more conservative & save more for college & pay less for a car. ... yes Eric, before you ask - I made it thru HS to college, as well as grad school .... barely!
