Default Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb

I have done a lot of research on the 67 Yenko Camaro and can give my opinions. My original pictures and talk with original owner shows no Yenko crest and no Yenko tags. At the time I found my car all the restored Yenko Camaros had a Yenko crest on the fender and Warren did say he thought they put YS# tags on the 67 Camaros but I can find no original 1967 pictures of the Yenko crest and no 67 Yenko Camaros with YS# tags. Yenko seemed to be proud of his Yenko crest, as most would be, and put it on some of his racecars and streetcars. In original Yenko pictures there are 1968 Camaros and Corvettes with the crest but found none on 67s. Also there has been info from other original owners of 67 Yenko Camaros who said no crest. I also found some evidence that Yenko was working on a 1967 COPO Camaro and some of the 67 trim tags have a dash that I can find no explanation for. I talked with Jerry M , Larry C and some CRG guys but can’t pin down anything on the dash yet. Still working on that but I believe at least some of the 67 Yenko Camaros were special ordered cars. We know the Stingers were, so this would not be unusual for Yenko to get some type of special order. If anyone is researching the 67 or 68 Yenko Camaros I would like to hear from them.
