I am looking for any information or photos of this car. It Was owned by Don Yenko, Engine was built by Grumpy Jenkins. I am sure this car is one gone but I have an X-11 that I am planning to build this as a tribute.

i did not know of Yenko's association with the X-11 until now. Subscribed and looking forward to learning more!
Are you anywhere near SW Pittsburgh PA that's where Yenko was located?
Yenko Chevrolet was a Chevrolet dealership located at 575 West Pike Street in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
After watching Jay Leno's Yenko Corvair episode I added this car to my warehouse collection when I become Jay Leno.
There's a super cranky old guy near me who has a Citation that he said has been a race car since it was new. It's been a few years since I met him, but he still has it parked outside, under a canvas tarp, in his fully fenced in yard. Unfortunately, he'a not real approachable.
I doubt that it's the same car, but it might be it's sister. I'll try to drive by the house this week on the off chance that it might be uncovered.
a few mentions here:

and here's some info about a COPO batch of Citations, sounds like paint and trim only:

and in the first post of this thread (from Oct 2002), dude claims to know where the Yenko car is.

Someone named "JoeC" asked for additional info. I wonder if that's the same guy as the OP of this thread...
I hate to suggest another forum, but try over at HAMB. They might not be too excited to find a Citation since they're old-school hot rodders, but the word "Yenko" tends to perk up ears over there.
The HAMB is like GRM but pricklier, older, and crankier. They have found lots of cars with not much more to go on than "my grandfather painted it blue in 1964 and I think it was owned by Smokey Yunick for a while."

It was a Yenko Honda for a while, they even made some Yenko Civics back in the day. The Canonsburg location moved to Murrysville and is now South Hills Honda. Highly doubtful that any of the kids working there know what a Yenko or an X-11 is.
Yes to building a Yenko X-11 clone.
**Insert proper GIF here.**
Found this in Ohio and plan to bring back to NC and use as base for the Yenko Clone.

Wow, that X11 in the background looks amazing!

I raced an '85 in One Lap Of America 2003. These cars are so underrated.

I did a little recon today... the car that I mentioned above is still there, but it's impossible to know exactly what lies under the cover.
Thank you for the recon.
