I got a bit more info out of him today in what was to be our last conversation pertaining to the car. He has the buildsheet, emblems, tag, transmission (it's got a T56A in it now). He sucked up the emblems out of the trunk where stuff falls between the quarter/trunk.

He mentioned that the car was in Norfolk, VA before it came out west. He believes between there and Nevada the car made a stop at Yenko. I didn't push anymore. He's been bothered a lot over this car the last 20 years.
Its hard for me to understand why a picture of the supposed YS tag would cause any issues. I heard a "story" that it was damaged in a car accident and the last digit was not identifiable. We never had any pics of the tag and don't believe CRG either.

Wes in your extensive research prior to purchasing and following have you found anyone who saw the tag. Have you found anyone who has any firsthand info regarding the validity of the Yenko claim other than the previous owner you speak with.
