1968 RS Yenko Camaro

Here's Yenko's 09/68 Pittsburg Press Ad as posted a few years back in the Old Newspaper thread w/ 15x 68's available including 2xM40 cars, one 325 + one 425 HP also both listed as having 140 Speedos.
Whether ad mistake or 140 Speedos added by Yenko, I think Joe's exactly right and any '68 M40 Yenko would've been a factory Auto car w/ engine swap, not trans conversion thus no 9737 M40 Yenkos.

The rally green car listed in the ad was was believed to be my 68 Non converted yenko. Also the 68 corvette bronze car - non converted as well, was also believed to be the non converted car acquired by tom biligan that was dealer transferred to to Kenny Ross Chev dealer.

that ad shows 3 rally green 375HP Camaros with 140 speedo and 5 Corvette Bronze 375HP Camaros with 140 speedo

there were probably more then those eight 1968 COPO 9737 Camaros that went unconverted to 427 Super Camaros

the production number of 1968 COPO 9737 Camaros is thought to be about 70

The number of 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros built is said to be about 64

The number of 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros with AT or AC thought to be built from RPO L34 or L35 Camaros is at least 10

there were also a few early 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros built before the COPO 9737 Camaros were available

I don't know how good these numbers are because there was not a lot of info found on the 68's but those are the numbers we were working with

only two unconverted 1968 COPO 9737 Camaros found so there are probably more out there
