Default Re: On eBay 68 COPO camaro

Here is my honest perspective on this car. The ad ěsounds interestingî because of the 140 speedo and his description of the spare hood but very careful investigation would be needed to determine if it is a real car. Many of the 1968 Yenko Camaros were COPO 9738 L78 (396) Camaros with 140 speedo that were converted and sold as 427 Camaros and some were sold as special 396 Camaros. I donít know if Dana had any of the 1968 COPO 9738 L78 (396) Camaros but could have. Any proof that it is really a 1968 427 COPO Camaro would be quite interesting. The statement that 68 427 Camaros were built in 1968 is in my opinion untrue. There is some indication that some 427 Camaros were built as there is paperwork showing EPA certification on them and Yenko advertised his 1968 427 Camaros as EPA certified. I have not seen any solid documentation that Yenko received any factory built 1968 427 COPO Camaros but may be a few were made. Since a 140 speedo could have been retrofitted in any 68 Camaro, you canít document the car on that one component alone. I would need to see the advertised documentation on this car for further investigation.
