Re: 1968 Yenko Camaro YS# 8011
Icing on the cake. In the 10th hour of searching we found the original Yenko emblems. Note the one with the nuts came from tail panel. The one with the post broken off came from pass. fender. The pass. fender emblem was just pushed into a metal basket used to hold the emblem. The post is still in the fender so I might be able to repair and make work. I need 2 more and some 427 emblems if anyone has any stashed they would go to a good home. I also got 90% of the rest of car including drivetrain and smog all orig. and dated. That was 3rd trip, I am almost too old for this. See ya later...

Re: 1968 Yenko Camaro YS# 8011
Thanks Rob,
You should see the stuff I have seen at this guys place. Things that I would like to have one of, he has several of each rare part. I want to clarify one thing I said in the previous post so there is no misunderstanding. I said the parts I got were mostly orig and dated. The engine is not the orig engine that came in the car but a dated nice CE 427 4 bolt main that would have been what would have come in the car. Some of the other stuff was with the car and the rest I had my pick from a huge wherehouse of used and NOS stuff. Thanks again... Dana

Re: 1968 Yenko Camaro YS# 8011
Cool... I noticed the lower Yenko badge in your pic looks like the background area of the Yenko wording was originally painted blue. Most were silver in this area with the letters themselves being blue, but I've seen variations like this before... same with the woodgrain on the gauge cluster.. that vinyl applique was actually included in the box with the gauge package from S-W, some got it stuck on, many didn't. Its cool to have this kinda stuff documented in its original condition so it can be restored just the way it actually was.

Re: 1968 Yenko Camaro YS# 8011
Greenline tach with standard face gauges! Weird! Awesome car, BTW. I heard a rumor about this car when I lived in Los Angeles....

Re: 1968 Yenko Camaro YS# 8011
The gauges and emblems were on the car for sure, he is not sure if the tach was or he might have purchased it later. He was acquiring parts for the car as he went for the last 20 years. Would it have had a different tach? I want to run the right stuff. Thanks
