Did Dealers remove SMOG?

[Mr70]

I know the 427 cid COPO cars were sold new with the SMOG equipment intact.
But did Don Yenko remove the SMOG equipment from his 427 cid Camaros/Novas/Chevelles before he sold them with his personal touch added?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

I can only speak for the Yenko Novas, and to our knowledge there were no Yenko Novas that left Yenko (or any other participating dealers) without the smog equipment. All original Yenko Nova owners that I have spoken with, recall removing the smog equipment themselves.

It was more common for Yenko Chev. to not install something they were supposed to on the Novas, as opposed to removing something.

I don't know if this will help. But my brothers 70 LS-6 Chevelle was sold out of Scuncio Chevrolet.And the orig. owner told us that he ordered the Chevelle with fenderwell headers. When he picked up the car all the smog and exhaust manifolds were in the trunk.

Did all COPO chevelles in 69 come with smog pumps whether they were automatic or 4 speed? What if the car was being sent to Canada? Did Canadaian cars have to follow US emissions standards? Jeff

Yes,all 69 COPO 427 cars did get smog from the factory regardless of trans.type.I do believe that Canada required it too.Although COPO Pete may enlighten us...

Where is Tedford...he could probably shed some light on this also.
