I didn't think a 67 had a tag so it will be nice to see what the tag is.

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

not #241579 the owner does not want the vin posted but all the tags look correct

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

You may want to consider blocking out his plate....anyone can view the site and maybe someone knocks on this guys door because they have his address... or worse.

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

tell me how to black out the plate please

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

Maybe the moderators can delete the rear photos for me?Thanks

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro

According to Yenko's records, car #41 is associated with vin #241579, is a 4speed 450HP car, and was sold from Bermine Chevrolet along with #43 which was an a/t. (The records are a bit blurry, so the trans types could be vice-versa for these two cars).

It is quite unusual for a '67 car to have a door jam tag like that, they are usually seen on the the '68 cars.

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

AGAIN...Why is there a door tag on a 67? Something ain't right.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

The reason I put the 241579 # is Marlin is correct that would be car 41. Also the car I had was 241597 which was not on the 67 list but the 68 list. I talked to Warren about 241579. That's the # he at first thought was mine. I have never seen a tag on a 67 Yenko. If it's not 741 then why is there a tag with that # on it??

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

Bermine chev. is/was in the St. Louis area I think?

I'm not up on my stingers, but I think they might have used the tag in '67. Is it possible that this tag, if real, was originally used on a stinger? It's possible that these tags were used on some of the '67 Camaros, but I've never seen or heard of one

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

M,the tag say's Yenko Super Camaro...I like to keep an open mind on cars like this...but too many flags are up right now.What rear is in the car? Traction arm? Cowl tag? Where is the tag in the door jam? The rivots look wrong to me as well as the layout..I have found a bogus 68 tag before.....I think he needs to dig a bit deeper here....

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

Ooops, missed the 'camaro' part, couldn't really read the tag.

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

Ok, I have a few questions because this is getting interesting.

1. Why does the tag say YS-7041 when the list shows the numbering using three places, for example 741? The 1968 Yenko is numbered just the list, I.E. 8025 is YS-8025.

2. Could you spell Canonsburg (correct spelling) again as you see it on the tag or get a better picture? In your opening post you said it was stamped "cannonsburg pa" with 2 n's. Could be a mispell on your part but want to make sure.

As mentioned, flags are up on this. Never heard of a door tag on a 67 Yenko. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

I had Marlin look at what info I had he states it is on the list but he is not 100% sure it`s real car

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

I just came in for a quick break working on 67 Yenko Camaro 706. There is NO tag on this car, nor was there any. But I did find a number of real cool things breaking this one down. Like the original spring tags on the rear, the original rear shocks, crayon "K" on the rear seat bulkhead, and a ton of the original Royal Plum paint. The original blowproof, and headers, hood pins, that are WAY different than the ones you get today, and the original traction bars. The way the tach was mounted on this ride was different than others I have seen as well....BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Found 67 Yenko camaro
 

I can't say why the door jam tag has YS-7041, but I can tell you why the list has the syntax as '741'.

The '67 list that we have on this site basically came from two sources, a list of cars sold by a dealer other than Yenko whereby Don kept track of commission payments due, and a list that was attached to a letter from Don to the NHRA.

The commission list is handwritten, and shows the stock numbers as '741', the list attached to the letter to the NHRA is typed but does not show stock numbers. So, my point here is that we've seen Yenko list stocknumbers both ways, the formal version 'YS-X0XX' and the shorthand version 'XXX'. However, in my experience the formal version is generally on typed documents, and the shorthand version is generally on handwritten documents. Therefore, I would not expect to see the shorthand version on a door jam tag.
