Thank you guys...my intentions are to ensure that the original owner is proud ...he has agreed to come to a few shows as his time permits. Joe...he went to Yenko Chevrolet and started the purchase process March 4, 1968...he dealt with Don Yenko himself and the salesman Ron Lane...they agreed to do the conversion....he went back to pick up the car March 16, 1968. It took 12 days to complete. Unfortunately there are no baby pictures...due to an unfortunate divorce. In the 5 sheets of Yenko paperwork the owner wanted a 68 SS Hood because he liked the louvers better....the hood is a weird story because when the paint was stripped away there was Corvette Bronze paint underneath.

The ride with Don reminds me of Ray Morrison's ride with Dick Harrell when he bought his Nova. You can't beat those ride stories.

Cool car and lots of paper work....Congrats. Interesting to see that it left Yenko with 15x6 DF wheels and the 68 Hood.
