Default Re: 68 Yenko Barn find

Brian,

The Yenko crest emblem looks non-chrome as well. I was to
the understanding that the originals were all painted over
chrome.

Nuch

Chrome Yenko badges didnt debut til 1970, and were stick-on rather than pinned. 67's had no Yenko emblems at all, and 68/69 used the same white painted Yenko emblems with 2 pins, as this car has...weird thing to me is that it looks like the 427 emblem was stuck on instead of pinned...I don't see any holes. As for the emblem being a 69 style, I agree, but wouldn't say 68's couldn't have had em, I have old pics of 69's with 68 style 427's on them, so I could believe a few 68's coulda had the "69" style ones (with the large bar under the 427) put on too... I'm still thinkin' theres a chance this guy struck gold, hard to be sure at this point though...as stated, look for a door tag and a 140 speedometer for starters, SW tach or holes where it was, trim tag, etc...

...and Dana, he's gonna want his hood back.
