Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb
Matt seems to be getting a lot of mixed info from different people. I did tell him I was researching a possibility of a COPO for 1967 Camaro but I never said it was for a 427. In my research I found that
On Sep 15, 1966 Don Yenko applied to Chevy for 3 COPOs. One for a different dash for the 67 Stinger, one for a 67 Nova for SCCA A/sedan class and one for a Camaro. It is not clear what Chevy allowed him to order. I also found strange info on four 67 Yenko Camaro trim tags. I told Matt that I don’t think that there were 107 Yenko Camaros built in 1967. There are a few reasons for this. One is that some of the YS#730-YS#740 cars were delivered in Sep of 67 when 1968 cars were already coming out. It does not seem likely that over 50 cars could be built and delivered that late in the year to get from approx YS#760 to YS#7107. There were some YS#6xx numbered cars but there would have to be over 50 of them, which seems unlikely. Yenko had to off load some cars to Harrell’s shop just to keep up with the YS#7xx cars. I have been surprised by some of the new info I found but I have not been able make any conclusions so all this is “just my opinion”. As I said before, I am interested in talking with anyone who is researching the 67 and 68 Yenko Camaros as I believe that more can be discovered if all the info can be pooled.
