I remember someone telling me about this car and telling me the same story shortly after we acquired our car. Maybe it was you. Neat pictures. I also thought I heard that Yenko used black Yenko crests on their cars that did not go thru the Super Car sales department but were sold through the main dealership. Odd however that it does not have any SS emblems and does have the 427 emblems so maybe a COPO. I would then ask why it would not have been sold thru the Super Car division.

Annie is from Lancaster, PA and will be here at the shop momentarily. I will ask if she ever remembers seeing it.

This is interesting Rick. Although I agree that this car looks to be a copo, do you know if Yenko modified any of their cars out of their inventory to suit a customers need? Were there any non-copo 427 cars from Yenko in 1969?
