I like the MCR Yenko cover shot - well done.
Some of the info on the 1967 Yenkos is off. The first sentence is not correct as the early Yenko 427 Camaros are SS350 to SS427 conversions. The SS396 to SS427 came later. The 107 is not a good estimate of 1967 Yenko 427 Super Camaro production. It is over 40% higher then other estimates. The 107 vin list is from Yenko but research has shown that many of them were not 427 Camaro conversions. |

If you want to strive to be accurate it was, Yenko Sportscars, Span Inc. and a Network of Chevrolet dealers, as well as their respective agents (such as Dick Harrell) and employees, who sold new 1967 Yenko Super Camaros, to the public.

Later they used "Yenko Super Camaro" is different forms . The option sheet has "Yenko Super Camaro 450 and 410" The Dick Harrell 1967 Funny Car had "Yenko Super Camaro Dealers" on the door The Dick Harrell 1967 AHRA 427 Camaro Super Stocker had "Yenko S/S Camaro Dealers" on the door Some magazine ads had "Yenko Sportscars presents the Yenko Super Camaro" |

I don't think it's subjective and don't recall having seen any 1967 Yenko advertising stating Yenko Super Car?

I thought the YSC designation changed later, did it not? It may have started out as meaning Yenko Super Camaro, but by 1969, I don't think it stood for that. It wouldn't make sense to have "Yenko S/C" stripes and YSC headrests on the 1969 Yenko Chevelle and 1969 Yenko Nova if the "C" stood for Camaro, would it? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
