I am the caretaker of the "Tin Soldier" 69 Copo Camaro. Mr. Ron, the original owner (and an employee at Norwood on the Camaro line which is a whole nuther' story) ran TS in the DStock class.

In 1967, Yenko built a minimum of 50 427 Camaros to make them legal for AHRA Super Stock racing.

Dick Harrell and Don Yenko worked with the AHRA to get the cars approved.

Many of them were built with scatter shields, headers , hood pins, and traction bars and had other options available including fiberglass hoods and decklids, 2x4BB intakes, L88s, and rear gear options.

There were two red 427 Camaros sponsored by Dick Harrell and the Yenko Super Camaro Dealers. One was red , the other red with black top.
