Yenko would have been the only source for that copo option in 68, right? So if you can link the parts to the car... [/ QUOTE ] Who knows? For a time is was thought that Fred Gibb was the only one to get ZL-1s, and according to Dale Berger, they received a '68 L-78 Auto Nova, same as the Gibb 50. When cornered, Chevrolet had to allow dealers to order the same as the others. Case in point, in 1969, Don Yenko wanted an exclusive to the COPO, but word filtered out to other dealers.

Not all the 68 Yenkos had the COPO 9737. Thats been also proven. The YS8002 car that was the demo car did not have any of the COPO parts mentioned including the special tag. That car is the single most photographed car by Yenko in 68. It was the prototype the rest were built after. We are restoring this car and I will post some of its unique features in the SCW forum soon..BKH

Joe, did you ever get a good picture of the ad you mention from the yenko dealership on the 6 cars? You sent me a picture a while back taken from a camera and it was hard to read when you blow it up.
Id sure like to have a better picture if its available? Considering the timing of the cars in the ad, we assumed my Rallye Green car is the one mentioned as its a late 68 car like Toms. I have also discussed with all the owners on my car (all PA guys) and the orig owner confirmed that my car was bought new from Yenko Chevy.

One more item, my protecto plate documents these came in with the MV motor as well. What im not sure of is - when the car was converted, was the protecto plate change to indicate the 427 motor? Does anyone have a copy of a 68 yenko protecto plate?
