Here is a 68 Yenko Trim tag. It is different than other 68 Trim tags. This is a telling factor on a 68 Yenko or 68 COPO 9737 car. If you see a 68 with this type tag you should pay attention and hopefully save it from any harm.

68 Yenko Tag that Charley posted (top) and a standard 68 Camaro Trim Tag below it. Like Charley says, If you see one like the top one pay attention and save it from harm

Here is what I found out last night (I don't think the car is anything special). The original speedo was a 120 (found it in one of the piles of parts), the 140 speedo was out of a later model who knows what. The 12-bolt is a plain 3.07 posi, nothing special. There was too much junk piled on it to get a pic of the tag, but here are the numbers I saws thru a gap under the junk:

02E
ST 68-12437 NOR 90626 BODY
TR 712 ZZ PT

It had remnants of a black interior and the body looked to be painted a dark green color. It had a single fuel line, drum brakes and small block heater core. Forgot to check the sway bar size.
I passed on it when I saw the VIN tag was missing. He says he has it, but couldn't find it. I won't touch a car with a removed or missing VIN tag. Any idea on what this car was originally

5th week of Feb (68) built Norwood Coupe. Without the VIn you wont be able to tell if it was a 8 or 6 cylinder car.
Interior is Standard Black buckets.
EXterior Paint is British Green. Nice color when cleaned up and in the sun.
