Copo or Yenko ? How to tell ?

Brad · #1 08-03-2005, 04:07 AM

My friend has a big block Camaro and he has reason to believe it is a Yenko or a COPO. How can we find out if it is either ?? Thanks

Why would he think that?

Also, you need to give more specifics on the car if you want a specific response. Your question is way too general.

I know, sorry about that. I will talk with him soon to get more specific details. Thanks for your reply though.

Look for the X11 or X44 code on the trim tag for starters. Get all the information off the trim tag on the firewall and post it here. Also post the VIN or most of it to help determine the date range and if it agrees with the trim tag. Does it have a cowl hood that's original to the car? Does it have a 12 bolt posi rear(if so look for the codes on the passenger side facing forward, it should be BE followed by some numbers and a G like BE0405G1), it should have power disc brakes, there should be no holes in the fender for engine size emblems, it should have a big block heater core with the hoses in the middle, does it have a radiator with a curved neck, if the trans is a 4 speed get the codes off it to determine if it's an M22. Hope this helps for starters.

I'll check all of this out. I appreciate all of your guys help, maybe we can find out if it is either one of these cars. Thanks. Brad

The hood on the car which is a cowl, (original),does have a 12 bolt . He thinks the car came out of
Detroit between Oct. 15th to Oct 30th of 1968. The car is rally green with black interior, bucket seats, console in the floor, the steering wheel is wood, and the console where the shifter is wood too. The car is a 4-speed. Thanks for everyone's help on this. Brad

The VIN # is 124379n544864. The trans is an m22. It does not have anything stamped on the trim tag (no x-11 or x-44 codes) Thanks to all.

Jeff,

What does an M22 have to do with anything?
