Default Re: 67 Yenko-" Built by Dick Harrell"

Wasn't Dick working as Nickey's Service manager from at least late 1966 to early 1967?

A prior thread mentions that Dick opened a shop in East Saint Louis during the summer of 1967.

Based on the VIN of your Yenko, it falls within the first part of June 1967 Build date and the work wasn't invoiced until the Begining of August.

Did your '67 Yenko begin life as a 350/295 hp or 396/375 hp Camaro?

I don't know that ever it happened this way, but with Don and Frank's connections at GM, it wouldn't take much to have a few ,soon to be converted Camaros, invoiced and floor planned ,to the Dealership, but drop shipped to a different location, such as an out of state converter.

This would also simplify the Delivery of a converted Camaro to one of the other Super Car dealers.

The NICB reports would still show a ship to Yenko date as they were not set up to catch a minor deviation.

It is my understanding that while Yenko floor planned these Camaros, the other dealers in the network were obligated to pay for them in full, up front.
