Default Re: Green Yenko Camaro at Carlisle GM Show

Yes Pete I owned the Tan 1966 Hemi Coronet four door sedan.
The car was very rusty and I decided to sell it and a couple of other Mopars when Chrysler introduced the Viper GTS coupe in 1996.
The car is owned by a fellow in Los Vegas now. He also owns the red 66 Coronet four door.

From what I could tell in the short time I looked for information on the green car at Carlisle the VIN feel a few days short of the the end of November recorded VINs. This concurred with the trim tag's 11D date code. The trim tag did contain X22 but I did not remember the D30 code being there.
The POP engine code I believe was JH (396/375) and I am pretty sure the rear end code on the POP was CE, which matched the rear housing. According to the POP the car was sold April 4 1969 to a resident of Canonsburg, Pa from the Yenko dealership.
I will be asking the owner for more information in the next couple of days.

What Steve is saying is that it's a fake trim tag. There were no X coded trim tags in Nov of 68 and the D80 did not show up until later as well. So if you still look at the car, get lots of quality pictures to try and verify things and don't do anything quickly without some help. It doesn't sound like a real Yenko.

I think "D80" began showing up starting on 05D cars.
