1968 Yenko Camaro inSuper Chevy Sept. 2000

YS-8019
Seems like little has been posted about this '68 Yenko here in the past?
Is all as good as it seems also a non 9737 would be no MM tag or 140 Speedo etc, correct?
Been for sale elsewhere lately but on the block @ the May 13-18 Mecum Spring Auction.

From the ad: <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">A period photo of the car shows that it deceptively displayed “396 Cu. In.” lettering on the front fenders, causing more than one competitor to wonder why they could never catch it. What they did not know was that Lancaster had removed and stored the Yenko engine and replaced it with a specially built dual tunnel-ram 427 CI unit for competition. Lancaster showed great foresight in also removing and storing the original interior components for posterity.</div></div>

Above is from the ad. I think it is a typo. Should read <span style="font-weight: bold">with</span> 9737 I believe. My car is on that letter too. ??
