It is an interesting early Camaro but have seen no evidence to support the claims of a 427 conversion.
Here is the Mecum description on it

YS-760 was sold in March of 1968. It has a lot of documentation and is the last known 1967 427 Camaro

the factory SS396 engine is located forward and to the pass side in relation to the SS350.
The BB will drop in to the SB location but the exhaust manifold hits the steering box. The SB fan shroud will work and the SB heater core will work but the hoses are close to the BB valve cover. getting a set of headers for the SS350 to SS427 was the key part of the conversion.

Interesting that it has the second design hood stacks, rather than the grilles. Did Yenko change those before the sale, or is that an owner change ? My understanding was the grilles were carried over into the early '68 model, to use them up, so even though this car sold in March '68, it should have had the grilles from the factory ? Other than that, this Camaro is about the most beautiful car I've seen posted here....sorry '69ers...  The '67 rs model has always been my favorite.

the car was missing the hood when it was first shown to John , the original owner. He had Yenko install a 1968 hood. The hood was originally Corvette Bronze and is thought to be off a 1968 Yenko Camaro.
here is a nice youtube vid on YS-760 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZWUFBEH_Rk
