Bogus Yenko sighting at Carlise

[JoeC]

I am also concerned about all the Yenko clones that seem to pop up everywhere lately and would help out with verifications on the Yenko Chevelles.
Another problem is the lists of Yenko vin numbers that are being traded. Without much effort I was able to assemble a list of 140 1969 Yenko Camaro vin numbers. I was wondering how accurate the list is and where the numbers are coming from so I called Vince last night to see if he released any info on the Yenko numbers.
He has not released any info lately but years ago he would sell a Yenko Inventory Sheet to a Yenko owner showing their vin number. He said he would block out most of the numbers and just give them the section where the ownerÃs car was listed along with the cars with similar options. He thinks other people then copied and filled in these same Inventory Sheets and now the sheets do not match his originals. This may mean that there are fake Inventory Sheets going around so if any vin number lists are made there must be way to verify that the correct numbers are used and where the numbers came from. I donÃt know if Chevrolet released any numbers lately but Vince has the originals and maybe some effort should be made to include him.
I also asked about the total for the 1969 Yenko Camaro since many web sites still list it as 201. He said, many years ago, he was asked in a phone interview to give a total for a magazine article. He ran through the Sheets and counted 201 but later recounted more carefully and only found 198. The magazine printed 201 and that number stuck despite him trying to change it.
