Being a 9737 car....wouldn’t the axle code be QD ....and not BU ???

The Rally Green non converted car was BU also.

But wasn’t that car a Nova ??

Nope. 68 Camaro.

Maybe the non-conversion transplant encompasses the BU ...is it real born with to the car ?
So I could assume the QD 4.10 code application only applies to converted cars with Copo specifics ...except for 1 documented transplant converted 68 that does not have the 9737 as is also Corvette Bronze

Read this article. It discusses rearends towards the bottom. This rearend is original to the Car. I don’t believe it had anything to do with whether the car was converted or not.

What is the date code on the Rearend ?? Photos ?

Here is a converted car with 3.73 gears also …

Non Converted car on the registry with a 3.73 BU rear.

Not to be judgemental....but since you are offering up this car for sale ...people would like to see photos of the rear axle code and especially the date .

The 68 Yenko axles are confusing.
About 2/3's are 4.10. 1/3 are 3.73.
The 3.73 axles are later, but there are some late 4.10 axles too.
4.10 - there are a few QD axles, but also a bunch of BV axles.

Thanks Kurt. Here’s a pic of the rear.

This ad also mentions these cars had 3.73 rear ends.

Thank you for sharing the rear photo and information. If you say it’s born with to the car I have to believe you. Since the 3.73 is more common than the 4.10 there will be a lot of enthusiasts questioning the difference between 5-23 axle date and 07E trim tag date. Cars usually were built 1 week or later after the trim tag date. So people will question 2 1/2 months between the two dates. Your eBay ad says you have the NCRS Report...what production date do you have on the report ? Thanks for the information.

Actually, your wrong again Doug! There are countless examples that rearends were put in the car anywhere from 2 weeks up to 4 months of the build date. Let me know if you need examples and proof on this also. If you bothered to look at my ad there is a picture of the NCRS report. I’m not sure what your angle is here, but I would honestly appreciate it if you would quit trying to downplay my car. If you have further comments please PM me and I will settle it with you directly!

I was asking questions and you get defensive. The car community does question rears 2 1/2 months prior to build. I have zero interest in your eBay car. I do not hide behind PM’s. or play those games.

Simple math would tell you it’s 2 months and that’s not unusual. I don’t hide behind a keyboard, hence the PM and I’ll talk to you over the phone or in person. You’re the one playing games. You’re doing more than just asking questions. You know what you’re doing. I’m just asking for you to knock it off.
“eBay car” - That’s cute!

Congrats on the 68 COPO find. Did the former owner know what he had sold ? A nice pay day for him/her and great day for you. Hope the car gets restored to its former glory, not many of these cars remain.

Yes sir. He's well aware of what it is and he was happy! I still keep in touch with him. I have pictures and videos of where the car sat since 1976 along with the owner I will share to whomever buys it.
Cheers,
Dan

I understand completely! It was just getting to be a little much! =)

Congratulations very cool find. Cant beat Corvette Bronze. I see that you are relatively new here on the Yenko site. Word of advice , get a thicker skin, you are selling a rare car and with that comes a-lot of speculation as far as originally. You have to expect people to question everything before they see anything. Try not to take it personally. I would question my Mom if she was selling a Yenko. Thats just how it works.

Dan...please ask anyone on this site. I do not hide behind keyboards whatsoever. It’s ok to question any car on here. You joined this site less than 3 weeks ago ...we ALL question cars it’s in our DNA . It’s ok to flip cars and be a new person .... I have flipped cars as well. In the end you cannot say that is the original BU Rear to that car. It’s been in other people’s possession and you don’t have POP. Even paperwork can be manipulated these days.

You have your opinion and I have mine. I have traced this car back to 1970. The third owner bought it in 1974 from the second owner WHO he knew. They lived in the same small town. I find it hard to believe that in the first few years of this car's life the rearend so happened to be changed out to a perfectly matched rearend dated 2 months before this car was assembled. You've been around these cars long enough to know this rearend is perfectly within the time frame. Again, stop trying to split hairs with me. If you don't believe it's the original rear end that's perfectly fine! I feel like if I had a video clip of this car in 1968 at Don Yenko's dealership and with Don driving the car you would try to dispute it. Do you want me to take the dust on the top of the axle tube and get CSI Miami to date it? If you bought this car, I guarantee you would be saying its the original rear end if it was in your possession. You did not pickup the car, you did not talk to the owner extensively, and you have not seen the car in person. I don't want to keep going back and forth on this with you. Let it be!

Hello Dan, I don't recall if it has been discussed, did you measure the size of the front sway bar?

I should clarify, the diameter of the sway bar.

Hi Stefano,
Yes sir. I did. I can upload pics after a bit.
Thanks
Dan

What is the date code and stampings on the transmission please?

Good luck with the sale, great find.

...
... This is a great find. I am sure whoever gets this car will bring it back to it's former glory.
Good luck with the sale.
... Thanks for joining the website and answering the questions to help everyone make an informed decision on your car.
Good Luck . :beers:

I have not seen exact numbers for the 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros but here is some info that has been around since the 1980s.

There was some info that showed Yenko special ordered about 70 of the 1968 COPO 9737 L-78 396 375hp Camaros.

The Vince E. number used for many years for 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros is 64.

The early 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were not built from COPO 9737 Camaros

The auto trans 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were not built from COPO 9737 Camaros

There was one 4 sp 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros built with AC that I don't believe was built from a COPO 9737 Camaro.

I am not sure how many 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were built with auto trans but I have seen info in old ads and other Yenko items showing at least a few AT cars.

If you do the math on the known non-converterted COPO cars , the early non-COPO 427 cars, the AC 4sp non-COPO 427 car, and the auto trans non-COPO 427 cars, there could have been 15 or more non-converterted COPO 9737 Camaros sold.

I don't know how many 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were built with auto trans but each one would mean another non-COPO 427 car out of the 64 total.

To answer your second question, I believe Yenko was the only one who ordered the 1968 COPO 9737 L-78 Camaros.

COPO 9737 was called the Yenko Sportscars conversion in 1968

Similar to Fred Gibb's special order - 50 1968 COPO 9738 L-78 TH400 Chevy II (Nova)

My gut tells me that ad in post #53 says a lot. As of 9/8 there were 9 non-converted 9737 available at Yenko. Even before the 69 COPO9561 were available, Yenko would have little interest in converting L78 to L72. Much cheaper and easier to let the General do it. The 68's would quickly become distressed inventory. I remember that one found non-converted L78 was dealer transferred to Kenny Ross Chevrolet. Not sure on the time frame, though. (Current model vs. leftover)

Received the NCRS Report today for my MV Block.

As expected !

Car is sold eBay ad has ended.

And where did it go??????

Hopefully Dan was able to get his six digit asking price and buyer was happy. I would like to see the car restored in its Corvette Bronze finish. Restoration parts and costs are going up all the time.

Definitely a questionable rear-end date there. Seems to be a decent amount of time with that 2 months. Just my .02.

Some one must have made him an offer he could not refuse :)

I am happy to see another Yenko car resurrected. Hopefully they will share the restoration progress.

Or....maybe he decided to keep it?
