Re: 67 Yenko-" Built by Dick Harrell"
We think alike...I have some of the same questions.
This car is a small block conversion? Going by the vin I would guess around 06A build date? This is close to the Jim Parks 67 Yenko N230891 YS# 713 which appears to be a small block conversion. Dennis posted his window sticker on here awhile back. You may like to see it as it looks like these two cars are similar. The window sticker had the Yenko Stinger icon on it. Yenko was still building some Stingers in 67 and had some type of arrangement with Dana Chevrolet to build 427 Camaros (at least in late 1966). There is a full page ad in NATIONAL DRAGSTER dec 66 showing a Dana 427 Camaro and Yenko Stinger. The ad states that either car is available at either location and it also mentions Span Inc. Dick Harrell is shown building Nickey Camaros in April 67 magazines but magazine data is at least 2 months off. I wonder at what date Harrell switched to Yenko? Was Dana doing the west coast cars? I believe the 396/375 Camaro came out around May/June and this would have made the conversions require a lot less labor and less parts. I notice a jump in the Yenko vins from N227xxx to N241xxx and this would be around May/June and about half way through the 54 units. Does this mean that the second half of the 1967 Yenkos started out as 375hp cars? Anyone know the vin for the first 375hp Camaro? Too many Questions?
