Re: '68 Yenko, Transplant vs. COPO
I can see a different possible meaning to: "make Exp RPO V78 Mandatory on all exceptions with Engine Changes-add to cost sheets. (initialled ARB 4/15/68)"
I think it is a CYA move on their part. On all ECR's that have any engine modifications (9737 and any other ones in their system), they put the export style trim tag on the car because the car may not meet the federal regs that the standard trim tag claims.
I only have info on one early 68 Yenko and it skimpy on details. All the other ones I know about are April cars with the V78 export tag on them.
Still can't figure out why they would have export speedos on the ECR though....
Since we are talking 68 Yenkos, does anyone know the VIN for the 68 Yenko that was in the book "How To Restore Your Musclecar"? The body # is 113453 and it's YS-8021.
