1969 Yenko Camaro

[Musclecars4me]

Jim
I am in Cobourg, Ontario. It is about an hour east of Toronto.

So guys, where did the Yenko list come from?
Sales data from the dealership?
Former employees?
Expert inspection?
Chevrolet sales records?

????

We have it too easy in the Mopar world. VIN indicates model and engine of a car. The fender tag has the VIN(69 and newer) and major options such as engine, (have to be carefull on the 69.5 cars as the fender tag engine code indicates a 383) transmission,optional rear ends, color, interior color and style. These 'identifiers' make it fairly easy to compile a list of limited production cars like the 69.5 440-6 Runners and Super Bees.

Similar to Chev however, you need paperwork to confirm a high performance dealer modified or sold your Mopar new.

So please enlighten as to the documentation of the Yenko Camaros.

Does that mean that every Yenko Camaro VIN is accounted for as far as production info? If I look at a Camaro that's supposed to be a Yenko and the vin is on the list then (assuming it's not a restamp in some way) it would be authentic?

Nope! These lists were assembled via many items of information, some of which were not 100% reliable - most notably were Yenko's Inventory Sheets! So, these lists are available as a guide only. The true determination will need to factor many variables - just like most GM cars. Unfortunate, but....

Thanks!! I'll let you guys know how this turns out. I suspect this is just a clone but one never knows.
