E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!

[bergy]

Just a quick update on this car - I inspected it very thoroughly and it had just enough copo attributes that I decided to buy it. Tank has never been out of the car and it has an original single 3/8 fuel line & sending unit plus many other little things. A few things that realy bugged me about the car have been resolved. The tail pan didn't have the extra muonting holes, but I now have old photos from the guy who painted it showing him in the process of replacing the pan. Obviously, the donor body stamp on the cowl needs to be cleared up. I can see that there is a lot of welding around the cowl section though. I was able to speak to the brother of the person who last registered the donor vin (the vin stamped on the cowl) and he told me that the car was in a bad wreck with a logging truck back in 1981 (the car hasn't been registered since then). It was totaled in the rear and the only thing salvagable was doors forward. The car that I have has original, unrepaired rear frame rails. So - I'm encouraged that someone salvaged the firewall out of the donor car and put it on the Yenko for some reason. Still searching for the rest of the pieces of the puzzle. I'm taking tons of photo documentation and certifying statements from everyone that provides data. Thanks to those who have PM'd me info and leads.

This car will never be anything more than a rebody. There are no COPO specific items on this car other than the VIN in the dash. Hidden vins are from another car, no cowl induction piercing, no holes for the relay,etc, etc. Original cowl tag is long gone so all you have is a vin, period. Your post seems to imply that there will somehow be a Yenko resurected from this car which simply will not be the case. I know all there is to know about this car. Good luck with your project.
