1968 Yenko Copo Camaro/ Non converted car

[T Billigen]

I may be able to post some pictures a little later. Huber and Cupp just went over the car today and took some pics. Chuck is trying to figure out away to send them to me. He took pics of all the pertenant info: cowl tag (with correct writing) 140 Speedo, vin tag, steering wheel. It looks like it may still have the L-88 engine that I bought at Yenko. The engine was balanced and blue printed by D. A. Santucci ( with his name still stamped on the block)I may be interested in selling this engine at a later date.

An unconverted Yenko car with an L-88 bought from Yenko in it????? Damn!!!! Not even what category this car should fit into..... Day 2 + + + ??????

Would it make sense to restore it w/ the L-88 in it? Did Yenko install the engine when you bought it?

The car came with a 396/375. The L-88 was not installed by Yenko Chevy. I bought this engine in the Spring of 1969. I put stock L-72 pistons in it and used the heads from the original 396/375. Did run well though, turned consistent 11.40s! D. A. Santucci did the engine work sometime in the late 70s. He was pretty famous in his own rite. He won a lot of top fuel and funny car races and beat alot of the big boys! He passed away earlier this year.
