Notes/Race History: The car was taken off the floor of Don Yenkos Chevy dealership in Canonsburg (PA) to be prepped for the 1968 Daytona race when the factory-built L88 was not yet available. The car was a red convertible with black interior. For the 1968 Daytona race, this car ran as # 29. When the team went to Sebring, it is possible that it was run as # 2. This question is still under research. If there were three 1968s at Sebring, then this car ran. If not, then the 1967 car ran as # 2. Site will be updated quickly when this information is clarified. The new factory-built L88 ran as # 3.
