[DSYenko]

Yes it's my car.And yes it's a very early one being "0 9 C " on the tag.As far as the only one with t-tops ,I think I said "believed to be",now I am not 100% sure of that but that was mentioned to me by someone on this board who has a great wealth of knowledge on these Yenko cars.
Next the reason I stated "believed to be" the prototype is the fact that it was built in Van Nuys (the only one of the 19 "believed" to be built there) and shipped to the Gardena Chevy dealer and then to TURBO INTERNATIONAL in Garden Grove.By the way the Turbo Z's are a project that YENKO AND TURBO INTERNATIONAL did together!!! It is also "believed to be" the only one with the Turbo International plate frame on the rear.With that said you can understand why i say I "think"it is the prototype unless Yenko has a early order from that area and just had TURBO INTERNATIONAL build that car and deliver since the end product was the same.To the best of my knowledege TURBO INTERNATIONAL sent the Turbo's to Yenko in a "kit" so thus the end product was the same.I guess this could be the only car that actually had TURBO INTERNATIONAL lay their hands on it.If the above thoughts are facts then Yenko had to do was send them a set of stickers and have a set of seats and wheels delivered and thus a Turbo Z is born prototype or not you guys decide!
