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.

Shouldn't it be Yenko Super Car? That's what I've always been led to believe.

I liked the coverage of the POCI/GTOAA in Dayton too. Nice article Diego!

Yenko Sportscars was the Company &quot;technically&quot; selling Yenko Super Camaros.

See the original paperwork here.

In 1967 it was a combination of Yenko Sportscars and Span Inc.

many of the 1967 ads show ......

&quot;Manufactured by Yenko Sportscars&quot;
&quot;Distributed by Span Inc.&quot;

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.

depends on what you are looking at but most of the 1967 material used Super Camaro
Early 1967 Yenko SportsCars ads had the Stinger (D/P Corvair), The Stormer (Z/28 race car), and the Stomper (AHRA 427 Camaro Super Stocker) sounds like a lot of S names but is documented on original paperwork.

Later they used &quot;Yenko Super Camaro&quot; is different forms .
The option sheet has &quot;Yenko Super Camaro 450 and 410&quot;
The Dick Harrell 1967 Funny Car had &quot;Yenko Super Camaro Dealers&quot; on the door

The Dick Harrell 1967 AHRA 427 Camaro Super Stocker had &quot;Yenko S/S Camaro Dealers&quot; on the door
Some magazine ads had &quot;Yenko Sportscars presents the Yenko Super Camaro&quot;

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 &quot;Yenko S/C&quot; stripes and YSC headrests on the 1969 Yenko Chevelle and 1969 Yenko Nova if the &quot;C&quot; stood for Camaro, would it?
