The paperwork, tag and decals.
The Tech manual is really cool, as page two talks bout the build and performance of the prototype (this car) and then goes into detail about the modification of each component, such why a 427 instead of 454, the use of BFG tires, modification of trans, reaerend, front end, back seat, dash, etc. The most unique feature may be the special "gold tone" Yenko emblems. I believe Yenko did a similar manual for the Stinger Corvair. It was mentioned the similarities between this car and Motion built cars, it appears Don took a page out of Joel's book, not only the unusual build of the car, but also the idea of building a limited number to get around Federal mandates, And while most of Yenko's other builds were geared more towards road racing, Don's cup of tea, this car was definitely intended for straight line performance.

A couple pics of interior, modified dash, cut down rear seat with removal of package tray (outlined in tech manual).
Also gold tone emblem and larger crest, anyone ever seen anything similar? Tech manual mentions special gold tone crests on tail panel and glove box. The one on glove box is really faded and smaller in size. A similar one on cable driven tach in dash.

Awesome find! Can you share what it says about why they did a 427 conversion and not a 454?
