Thank you for your input but that is not how I operate. One of the things I have prided myself on over all the years is restoring these cars how they were found and built (assuming they were original) and not how the majority of them were built. Case in point is Dana's 68 Yenko with no SS emblems on the fenders. One of a very few that came that way and was restored accordingly as this is part of the Yenko history and I have no intention of changing that history.
Jim S's 69 Forest Green Yenko had no 427 emblems anywhere, no hood stripes and the stripes did not say Yenko SC on the body stripes. I wanted to restore the car that way but he won out. Again, changing history is not my intent so regardless if this is not the correct plaque, that is what came on the car and what will be going back on. I have heard from a couple people already that state they have seen 69's with this plaque.
