Any expert opinions on the value difference between a 1967 converted 427 vs non converted 396 Yenko camaro?

A very good question. Howie and I have discussed this at length. No non-converted cars have sold that we know of, so this should set the mark.

Having solid docs ought to help.

So until recently have all owners of these cars assumed they were all converted, and are some cars with 427 in them when they should have 396??

Second question, if you put a 427 in a non converted car, would it be frowned on by the experts?

Ok, forget the experts. How about a Yenko camaro that should have a 396 but has a 427, any big deal or not?

Is the car a 396 car based on the trim tag showing the 4N or 4K? So you're saying it's a 67 SS396 Camaro that was sold by Yenko Chevrolet. I would think that is nothing close to the value of a 67 Yenko Camaro that had a 427 conversion done by Yenko. I would call the 427 Yenko Camaro a supercar but not the regular SS396 Camaro. But we all know putting a value on a car is up to the buyers. Take it to BJ and you'll probably get $200K just by using the Yenko name!

Aha, so it was supposed to be a 427 conversion but for some reason it never got converted?

That is the assumption, but no concrete evidence.
