Keeping a registry and or documenting cars is much easier said than done.

The sYc has done the best job imaginable based on my opinion and what I have experienced with other registries.

Regular Camaro VIN number 616828 was offered up for sale on eBay a few years back. The Camaro was inspected as It was thought to be a real Yenko, since it was listed on the inventory sheets. There were no COPO identifiers on the Camaro and the Color as well as the trim tag number did not correspond to Yenko records and other documented Yenko Camaros.

Jack Douglass called me to inquire about the Yenko he sold,VIN 616128 as one of his former employees had found the original Yenko window sticker. Jack told me that he had seen it in person and believed it to be original.

I have never seen the original, nor do I know if they were reunited at this point in time.

Stefano, you may be thinking of N615016 that's on the list as 'the Clyde Krug Yenko'. I know that one was on ebay and inspected. The actual vin# being N615076 and it has been corrected with an addendum to the list [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

The bdy #'s for N615076 and N616128 are 7 digits apart, both X-11 with Z23 interior's

You got that right!!

A notation error is one of the hardest things to prove, yet so many folks think its so easy. If Donna Mae and/or GM made an error, it is very hard to prove the error - and - prove the correction. It takes quite the burden of proof, and like Stefano says - registries are much easier said than done.

615076 vs 615016, Notation in Registry

616128 vs 616828, Jack Douglass Window Sticker?

Now I've got them straight, I think?
