02E car... Sold new at Earl Davis Chevrolet, Mansfield Ohio. Apparently there is a twin out there that was sold at Humphries Chevrolet in Wisconsin.

These early cars must be quite a mystery waiting to unfold. Tom, do any of your new or old archives hold any keys to the history of these early cars? Does anyone know which was the first Yenko Camaro? Is there any information about the light colored YENKO SUPER CAMARO with SS/RS trim and black vinyl top in the "Engineered by Dick Harrell" SPAN-INC. Presents the 1967 YENKO SPORTSCARS ad in 1967? (caps are as they appear in the ad) Is this the "first" Yenko Camaro? Do any other members have further info they are willing to share? Maybe this should be a new thread.

Good field work Charley. Do you have those dogs trained to sniff out special yellow Camaros? Did the car have the Yenko YS tag in the door jam? Yenko put an ID tag on the 66 Stingers and the 68 Camaro but I don't think the 67 Camaro got them? The 1968 YS numbers begin at 8000 and the 1969 numbers begin at 9000 but that 67 Camaro is YS 604. I guess its just more of those little Yenko mysteries. I also see it has Traction Masters on the option list. These were early traction bars popular at that time and used by Shelby, Motion, and others.

No door tag.

Interesting, they double charged them for the style trim. RS includes the style trim, but it also appears on the sticker as an additional item. And the price is the correct price for both items.

The VIN on the invoice does not appear on my list. In addition, I am puzzled by a couple of items. One, the stock number or YS number begins with a 6, not a 7. Yenko usually started the YS numbers with the year of the car. Two, it is on a Stinger (Corvair) invoice, even though Yenko did have another one, as I have originals of both. Tom

I think Jim Parks' '67 Yenko Camaro has one of those Stinger window stickers too.
