COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

Hi All,

I've been doing some home work for my 68 SS Camaro on the Camaro.net site. I've been told that my trim plate is differant to the "normal" plates. I was advised to talk to you guys on here for some more info.

I've done a search and found the tread "1968 YENKO CAMARO VIN LIST & TRIM TAG INFO". My trim tag is the same as the 68 COPO (Yenko) Camaro trim tag listed. The car is numbers matching. How can I find out if it was a YENKO or COPO car?

I've posted a pic of the Trim Tag.

Thanks in advance for your help

It would be interesting to see pictures of the rest of that car.
BTW, what´s your name and where do you live ?

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

WOW nice, Hope its on this list for 68 Yenko Camaros. If it is please let us all know and tell us more about the car and post some pics of it.

1 = Chevrolet
2 = Camaro
4 = 8-cylinder engine

8 = 1968 model year
N = Norwood, OH assembly plant



11E = Built the Fifth week of November.

Why isn't the tag attached to the car?

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

No it's not on the list https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

The Car was purchased about 12 months ago. It was stripped in 1982 to be restored. Unfortuantely it was never finished (or started for that matter). I purchased the car in bits. I've had the body dipped and work will start on the body in the start of October. I'm currently having the front rails repaired and once finished will start assembling the front end.

Next step is to check the VIN plate on the dash to the Partial VIN on the firewall by the heater blower motor and again under the cowl vents on the passenger side. If they dont match the VIN plate, something is wrong. If the Partial VINs match one on the 68 listing but not the VIN plate on the dash, I would think something is very wrong and either the car was rebodied or the CIN was replaced.

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

I've already done that. I've confirmed, with the help of quite a few people at Camaro.net that the car is 100% Numbers matching. The only questionable component is the Transmission. but i'm told that some export cars used "unique"codes. All other codes are correct.

I'm 99.9% sure it's complete and numbers matching but the "strange" trim plate (see above) has me curious about it's origons.

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

Is this the same car you were talking about a year or 2 ago ???

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

I've been a member of Yenko.net for quite a while so it's possilbe. At that time I may not of owned the car. I was either "paying it off" or researching the purchase. I've owned it for about a year. Only in the last week have I fully researched the car. I was told buy the seller (a good family friend) it was an original SS/RS Big Block but have never been sure.

NOTE: This may help shed some light on this. Both myself and the car are in Australia. I know the car has been over here for a while but before 1982 I'm not sure where it came from. Am trying to contact the original owner.

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

Anyone know if these tags used for export cars ?

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

How about posting the rear-end stamping.If you have the block and it's been decked,post the casting #,date and is it a 4 bolt main.

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

What's the code on the trans?Is the car an auto or 4sp https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

I'm a little bit worried about posting all the details. I've seen quite a bit of evidence of fraud on some of these sites. Can some of you guys give me some sort of assurance that what I post cannot be duplicated or somehow sold. This might sound paranoid but I've only just found out all numbers are matching.

I have all these details and I'll be willing to post if some of the members on here could address my concerns.

I look forward to your replies.

I recently seen one of these tags on a 68 convertible, Talked to Rich Fields about it and he said it was probably a South American export car...

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

I don't blame you about posting the #'s, being that the car is in Australia some dasterdly culperate would find that an easy target for a fraudulant copy.

If the #'s are on the Net then it's open season to the scammers. No one can guarantee what you ask. Everyone in the World has access to this web site.

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

Probably a good idea to investigate what you have with some of the fellas offline

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

I think the build date is way out of range for a 68 Yenko..BKH

Re: COPO/YENKO Trim Tags
 

Maybe because it is a export they leave off the trim tag that says it meets federal standards.
