There was some info that showed Yenko special ordered about 70 of the 1968 COPO 9737 L-78 396 375hp Camaros. The Vince E. number used for many years for 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros is 64. The early 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were not built from COPO 9737 Camaros The auto trans 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were not built from COPO 9737 Camaros There was one 4 sp 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros built with AC that I don't believe was built from a COPO 9737 Camaro. I am not sure how many 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were built with auto trans but I have seen info in old ads and other Yenko items showing at least a few AT cars. If you do the math on the known non-converterted COPO cars , the early non-COPO 427 cars, the AC 4sp non-COPO 427 car, and the auto trans non-COPO 427 cars, there could have been 15 or more non-converterted COPO 9737 Camaros sold. I don't know how many 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaros were built with auto trans but each one would mean another non-COPO 427 car out of the 64 total.

To answer your second question, I believe Yenko was the only one who ordered the 1968 COPO 9737 L-78 Camaros.
COPO 9737 was called the Yenko Sportscars conversion in 1968 Similar to Fred Gibb's special order - 50 1968 COPO 9738 L-78 TH400 Chevy II (Nova) Last edited by JoeC; 06-11-2022 at 12:10 PM.

Maybe the non-conversion transplant encompasses the BU ...is it real born with to the car ?
So I could assume the QD 4.10 code application only applies to converted cars with Copo specifics ...except for 1 documented transplant converted 68 that does not have the 9737 as is also Corvette Bronze

Read this article. It discusses rearends towards the bottom. This rearend is original to the Car. I don’t believe it had anything to do with whether the car was converted or not.
