Re: 1967 Yenko Camaro production 54?
That is a great point Andrew but remember, Yenko Sports Cars was a seperate division of Yenko Chevrolet. This may help in determining the SYC stock #'s over the regular Chevrolet #'s. I have talked to many of the old employee's and they, with the help of Donna Mae Mims would try and count the cars and would with glaring regularity make mistakes on car counts. Many of the cars were staged on lots not part of the rather small Yenko Chevrolet dealership causing perhaps even more confusion. I have been told stories of 427 Corvettes being stolen right off the lot during busy Saturday hours and nobody would even notice for quite some time. Also it is fairly clear that the 200 Corvair Stinger count for 1966 had been fudged to let the cars qualify for the SCCA production by double counting inventory. Not a state of the art system by todays standard. Vega's during the Stinger program would arrive and overwhelm the employees with the amount of cars that would show up at a single time. Same for the 1970 Yenko Deuces. All the cars would arrive within a months time, overlaoding the dealership. This may account for some of the mistakes seen on the Deuce records as well.
