Wow how cool is that! You actually get your old car back and it may have some supercar roots! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Tom did you take that pic in front of Kenny Ross or was that on a post card or something? Any more vintage pics?
Tom do you have the POP or window sticker?

How do I find out if my '68 L78/L89 Camaro was possibly an unconverted Yenko car??????

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Was this car suppose to have a SYC tag in the door frame but never received it?
....if so what number wwould it be? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Rob, I'm not informed enough to know what the 9738 Novas included, so I don't know how to respond. We all know what they say about opinions......but the opinion of guys with more experience, or more at stake, (eg Tom C, Tom B, Brian H, etc.) should prevail over opinions of guys like me.

As the builder of a tribute car, I have very little standing on this issue, but have a real love and interest in these cars, none the less.

My feeling is that a bigger sway bar, 15" wheels, and a 140 speedo do not make it any more a Supercar than an SS L78. (no less cool to own, however. And for Tom B, what better story than to get your old car back...and by luck at the time of original purchase, it was a 9737!!)

Now, Tom B.......we're counting on you to get that damned motor back!!

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Unreal, you are right! This would be a COPO/9737, not a true "SUPERCAR" per say. It is just unique in its own right. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Tom
I'd like to Help,send me the VIN#.
If my source can gain access to NICB records,I'll will forward the results to you....Fingers crossed.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Rick

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Rick, what all info will an NICB report have to offer?? I don't know much about them https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Normally, the only useful info will be the original dealer the car was shipped to from the factory along with the shipping date.

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

That is what I am interested in https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Charley...I'm dieing over here...that was the absolute best comment of the year !!!Not only could the car be a very interesting COPO/Yenko etc....but it could also hold the genetic key to some very early stash!!!!I like you again but...you still suck https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Let me have them get it done first and I will let you know. I have to admit that it sure would look good sittng in your garage. They will be two Beautiful 1968 Camaro's when restored....(Converted and Non-coverted Yenko's.)

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

those 68's just keep adding up!

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Joe,any more info on the Ash Gold 427/TH Camaro?Sounds like an awsome car.....

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Huh?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif Tom B you JUST got the car back after all these years.....why would you even consider selling it??????? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

HEY TOM-GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CAR-NICE TO HEAR AFTER ALL THESE YEARS YOU GOT IT BACK!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Cool car. This is the car that I found at the local Camaro Club {PACE} show. The car had all the little things one would look for in a 9737 Yenko 68 Camaro. I knew the car was special as soon as I looked at it. I also knew it was not a converted car, but I felt the heritage was Yenko without a doubt. Yenko sold 9737 cars without the 427. This is one of those cars in my opinion. Right color, and special parts were all there. The interior was sweet. The car should be a real good looking car when finished. Dealer trade or not, still a Yenko COPO. Joe C's research would seem to indicate that as well. As I like to say, show me the next one...BKH

Thanks Brian, your post is much appreciated. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

What does your trim tag look like YS100. Does it have a 140 speedo and large sway bar for starters? By the way Tom B. I have access to a genny MV 375 motor. Real Yenko VIN and unmolested pad that might be for sale. That would really help complete the picture...BKH

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

By the way, I had a Kenny Ross 1977 Z/28 with 8000 miles. I had a ton of paper with the car but, the dealership still had paper for that car. It's worth a call...BKH

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Here is the ad that Yenko ran locally. My quess it was run by Frank Yenko who was known to be on the tight side with spending. The print is only about 1/16 inch. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
My quess it was some type of dealer trade. Being that late in the year they were trying to unload cars so maybe traded the COPOs for station wagons or trucks. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

I may be able to post some pictures a little later. Huber and Cupp just went over the car today and took some pics. Chuck is trying to figure out away to send them to me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif He took pics of all the pertenant info: cowl tag (with correct writing) 140 Speedo, vin tag, steering wheel. It looks like it may still have the L-88 engine that I bought at Yenko. The engine was balanced and blue printed by D. A. Santucci ( with his name still stamped on the block)I may be interested in selling this engine at a later date.https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Joe, I would appreciate it if you could send me a bigger version of that ad by email. I can post it back here in readable size by using my own server space.

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

It is not readable. It is a photo of the ad. The original print size is 1/16

An unconverted Yenko car with an L-88 bought from Yenko in it????? Damn!!!! Not even what category this car should fit into..... Day 2 + + + ??????

Would it make sense to restore it w/ the L-88 in it? Did Yenko install the engine when you bought it?

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

The car came with a 396/375. The L-88 was not installed by Yenko Chevy. I bought this engine in the Spring of 1969. I put stock L-72 pistons in it and used the heads from the original 396/375. Did run well though, turned consistent 11.40s! D. A. Santucci did the engine work sometime in the late 70s. He was pretty famous in his own rite. He won a lot of top fuel and funny car races and beat alot of the big boys! He passed away earlier this year. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Thanks bkhpah. As far as I know trim tag looks like other '68's. I'm sure the speedo is 120. I have to measure the swaybar.

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Brian...do you know what Yenko tag number would have been on this car ...on the pillar...if it had one?

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

It would not have a tag...BKH

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Trim tag is different than other regular 68's, hence it is a copo. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif Roger

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

I would not go by the trim tag alone.I have found a few 07E cars with the different trim tag.One in particular was a SB converted to a BB I parted out years ago.The Yenkos had the tag,but so did others.I am interested in the link between the two.


Steve

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

Happen to have the info from that tag or a pic of it laying around by chance?

Re: 1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car
 

No pics,I wish I had taken them though.This particular car was parted out in about 1988.I didn't understand the different tags at the time.I do know my 68 is a 07E car with a 4808XX vin with the std. tag.The only pic I do have is of the tag on YS-8043,another 07E car but an earlier vin.Thinking a bit further,I have also found an early,pre Jan 68/Astro Glass,with the tag as well.This was a unrestored car.Thoughts....
