Nickey -Yenkos

Marlin, Yes - the 427 425 hp Camaro ran in Super Stock but not as a Yenko manufactured Camaro. The motor is listed under "Chevrolet" so I assume that Chevy supplied NHRA with the production information on the COPOs. The Shelby has its own listing separate from Ford. I know NHRA checked up on the factory production numbers because when Grumpy brought his ZL1 Camaro (built from his L78 car) to the track the first time, NHRA would not let it pass Tech because Chevy had not yet supplied the production info on the 50 car minimum. Grumpy told me this himself and I also have a magazine article stating the same. This may be one reason why the ZL1 vins were kept on record. This is why I think Yenko put the YS ID tags on the 68 Yenkos - to try and get NHRA to recognize him as the manufacturer and make the 427 Camaro legal for NHRA Super Stock 1968. He was not successful. Just my opinion.
