Re: Unrestored 1969 Yenko Camaro at Mecum
55Hardtop, please add information to your profile.
I have learned over the years that you have to stick around for a while to learn about things like this. The experts will probably chime in and tell you when the first Yenko with factory tach was delivered, but I believe it is correct that in the first ones had a Yenko-installed tach and the last ones had a factory-installed in-dash unit.
The first Yenko order of 50 COPO Camaros where ordered as X66-cars, and therefore they came with the blacked out rear valance.
It could be that he knew that 500 COPO Camaros had been built, even though he didn´t sell all of them. I believe he told Vince Piggins before the first order was placed that he would sell 500 Camaros, but then other dealers started placing orders.
