Default Yenko 578796 is it a found car block found

I know its on the list with a question mark as a rally green car but do not remember that vin number as a found car, any info on this car.

Probably on the one missing inventory sheet. I bet it is a early Yenko shipped to Jack Douglass the vin isnt to far away from my Orange x66 early Yenko sold at Douglass.

So this car should be a X66 as it would have been the first group? Then yenko used X11 and X44? Why were the first batch X66? Something GM did when they started the copo program, then GM changed copo's to X11 and X44?

I know this is an old thread - but based on the vin number - the trim tag build date should be dec .....when did they begin stamping the oil filter pad?

This is the 6th Yenko VIN listed so it would be an 01B car. It would also have to be a 4 speed car since the first 50 were all 4 speeds. There is no selling dealer in the registry for this car. Ed didn't have this VIN listed on his website when it was up and running either.
