'68 Camaro on Yenko VIN list

[JoeC]

Has anyone seen or heard of a 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaro with auto transmission?

There is one listed in a 1968 Yenko ad but I have not seen much on AT 427 1968 Yenko 427 Camaros.

Some 1967 Yenko 427 Camaros 410hp AT have been found.

Yes, there were some automatic 1968 Yenko Camaros built. A bronze one with a/c does exist and is documented back to the original owner.

The Brother's Collection has a '67 Automatic that was believed to be a NicKey 427 Conversion and when the owner contacted us we discovered it was a 1967 Yenko. Warren had a file on the car.

1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaro SS RS YS-8037 is Corvette Bronze with AC but it is a 4 speed .
That is said to be the only 1968 Yenko Camaro with AC

I have an old Yenko ad for a 1968 Yenko 427 Super Camaro with TH400 but have not heard of any found

Thank you for the clarification.

I am no expert.. not even close. Is it possible that someone had or found a wrecked Yenko and transferred over the tag and emblems?? Too bad you can't get the numbers that were on the tag.

It's been frustrating. But I've got to respect his privacy and wishes. I'm hoping to get the hidden vin behind the heater box this weekend.

Yes, definitely. It's the best explanation if the Yenko tag is real.
In 23 years of knowing about the car, noone has seen the tag or had the complete YS #. A bit of a strange story on why to not show the tag, IMO.

Wes, what is the distance between the tag mounting holes in the door jamb?

Kurt, good point those mounting holes appear too wide for
orig YS tag mounting.

I measured the fender holes, holes under dash where cluster would go, and the door jamb, which were all on spec for a '68 Yenko. I contacted Ed from the AMCM and sent him my measurements and he sent back the same distances, to the centimeter.

The one hole next to the dimmer light switch has been widened.

I'd still send a check to say thank you the prior owner, if it was me I'd send $200 to thank him. Money still greases the skids, it's worked in for a lot of people.

Did he indicate to you whether the car was built as an L78 or a low-po combo?
