I'd still send a check to say thank you the prior owner, if it was me I'd send $200 to thank him. Money still greases the skids, it's worked in for a lot of people.

Did he indicate to you whether the car was built as an L78 or a low-po combo?

That's a thought. He did tell me he doesn't need money though.

I did ask if I could purchase the build sheet as it has nothing to do with the emblems/plate. No indication as to what it was. The 427 in it has a date code of 2 weeks before the car was built. 4.10s out back and will put it on jack stands tomorrow to see if the axle code is visible.

Correction. Paperwork is the wording he used.

Yenko did do customer conversions such as the 1975 Yenko Trans Am L-88.

It would be hard to prove without original paperwork like the L-88 Trans Am has or an old magazine/news article or ad.

There was also a Yenko Turbo Corvette that was in a magazine article back in the day and other special Yenko built cars.

Yenko did a VW Karmann Ghia Corvair engine conversion for a customer documented by a for sale ad from back in the day
