Some pics of the car were posted here a long while back. I remember it having the front fender 427 emblems filed to match the eyebrow moulding as was apparently somewhat customary for Yenko to do. Maybe some of you search fiends can track 'em down and link them here. Chad, got any other pics to post?

Chad is just finishing resto on this car.
on the cut emblems
I think the reason for the cut edge on the Yenko 427 emblem found on some Y Chevelles has something to do with why some original pictures show Y Chevelles with the 1968 Yenko 427 emblem. Because of the curvature of the fender the bar under the 1969 emblem does not sit flush to fender and the edge sticks out. The 68 emblem fits better. When installing emblems I think some Yenko employees saw the edge of the 69 427 emblem bar sticking out so they cut an angle on it or used the 68 emblem.

JoeC, Which type of emblems does your car have on the front fenders? In some pics I have of 6 cars (Camaros and Chevelles) on the Yenko transporter being delivered to Colonial Chevrolet, you can see some cars with the 68 style emblems and some with the 69 style, so they seemed to have used either style interchangeably.
