Yes ...the original trim tag calls out ...Nantucket blue...but the paperwork says Marina blue...I guess the salesman Ron Lane wasn’t to versed on colors. Lol. I noticed the same mistake.

.

I can certainly forgive him, when you look at the two color chips (Marina/Nantucket), I can't really tell the difference.:dunno:

The car is rust free and has only 7,257 original miles...we are starting the restoration very soon ....with original Sheetmetal, glass, interior, and drivetrain and other great original pieces the restoration should go very smoothly. I plan to post progress photos of the restoration with the help of Frank Arone, Matt Barzak, Dave McGaffee...and of course with the photo posting expertise of Darrell.

Thank you JoeC....it was great talking to you about the 67 Yenkos....you are a wealth of knowledge. As of this writing...this 67 Yenko is the last known YS760 conversion car to date....but never say never.

… I think the salesman was pretty excited about selling this car and that is possibly why he got the name of the color confused...
… he also inadvertently added an additional "7" in the vin # on ALL the paperwork :shocked:

… Doug, This car could not have gone to a better guy that will preserve it to the fullest ….. good job :worship:

Thank you for the kind words John.....I had not noticed that that is just another element of human error especially back then. Good eyes

PoP which was never used.

This car may be one of the most documented, lowest mileage 67 Yenko Camaros known to exist. Very cool....

What is the actual VIN of the car? The P-O-P says 124377N247797, the paperwork has one too many digits. Is it 124377N247971?

Maybe the person that was in charge of that list could chime in and answer the reasoning why there is a discrepancy.

The actual vin ...last 6 digits are 247797... I provided the corrected information and documentation to Bergy last week and he is going to update the site. I have a theory but do not wish to share it publicly.

Big Congrats Doug! What a rare beauty. Can't wait to see the in-process and finished product!

I guess this Yenko is tame; in cost...:biggthumpup:

I would guess the inventory sheet was incorrect or hard to read. Or is xxx971 actually a yenko vin# ?

I cannot answer that question....I would defer that question to JoeC ...

Doug, Thanks for the information on the car. I will have to do some research on it.

It is a great 67 Yenko with the dash trim tag and all the factory options plus all the work Yenko did to it.

also interesting that is has the Yenko crest emblems like used on the 1968 Yenko Camaros

Here's an Oct '67 Newspaper Ad as OO statement above also jives exactly w/ info noted earlier about cars waiting unconverted for later builds w/ 396 or 427's to suit customer orders.
Being the 06/67 build subject car sold 03/68, it and the Blue TurboStick in this 10/67 Newspaper Ad could be one and the same?:hmmm:
:beers:

.

Yenko used some creative names for the TH400 1967 Yenko Camaros

in this ad it was a "Turbo-Stick"

in another ad "Yenko Special "Super GT Hydro" "

in another ad "Turbo Hydra-matic Transmission"


Doug ,
Does your car have the 1967 type mono leaf rear springs or 1968 muti leaf type rear springs ?

The paperwork shows a spring change and charge for new springs.

Original spare and the 68 SS hood which you can see the Corvette Bronze underneath. Stamp date is present and falls in line with the YS8002 prototype car which makes sense since it received the fiberglass Yenko hood. Brazing done to fill hood pin holes.

Thanks Joe and thank you Pete.... Joe it had the mono leaf and John had them ad 2 additional leafs . I will send you pics

Here is an early 4th of July fireworks for everyone..

Thank you Doug for taking me and all of us along with you through this journey. Its been fun and it'll only get better.


Hope everyone enjoys their 4th of July.

Congrats and great story.

The spare even has the correct valve stem cap. That's so cool!

Thank you guys . I have John to thank for all of this and my friends for going with me to load all the parts and car

So cool....Wow!

This is the score of the Decade !!!!!!! All I can say is, WOW and Congrats...….

Driver's side fender emblem.

Passenger's side emblem.

Tail panel emblem.

What a find ... I can't wait to see it back in color

The emblem is obviously reproduction...just wanted to show everyone the layout. 67 shouldn’t of gotten this emblem...but remember this was done in 68. Thanks JoeC for the insight.

Congrats Doug, great find to say the least.

Thanks guys...progress will be rewarding for all involved

That is super amazing! Congrats on the hard work getting the car.....

This ranks right u there with Rick Nelson's Yenko Chevelle!

They are still out there for sure!

Awesome car...congrats Doug!

This is such a great car! But I have to say the coolest part about it is the fact that the original owner has such a sharp memory and is involved in telling the story of the car and his experience with Yenko. Thanks Doug for bringing it out in such an open and honest way.
Jamie

Thank you fellas....John the OO is excited about the build and the warm welcoming the car has received!!!!

Just catching up on this one.

Not sure if the 'discrepancy' was from my list or not, but regardless if it was mine then the difference is only because I didn't have the paperwork at the time I entered the car - sorry, no conspiracy.....

Many of us have known about this car for decades - yes, plural! Brian Henderson 'found' this car and obtained copies of the paperwork at least 25+ years ago, and shared it....that's how these things happen!
