Yenko 1969 Z28 Camaro

Was this car early enough for that to be an option? Late 69 Z/28's required a tachometer (via either U16 or U17) but I'm not sure when that started.

Chevrolet made U16 or U17 mandatory with Z/28 as of January 2, 1969. On February 11 dealers received notification from the Zone that U16 was "delayed for an undetermined period of time" and that current Z/28 orders must specify D55 and U17. The shortage must have been resolved during March as cars built 04A have U16.

The factory said gauges were required, but with the U16 supply issue, it wasn't implemented until May.
The first documented U16 car that I know is also May.
