Re: Russo & Steele photos Fri/Sat.
Granted I thought that the number was high as well... but
It's still a COPO 9737 Sports car Conversion. It was owned by the man who bought it new. It had alot of documentation as well.

Re: Russo & Steele photos Fri/Sat.
To be specific on the above response - its an L78 car. Besides being an L78 car - it was ordered under the special program 9737 - so it received several special items from the factory for the Yenko only cars, MV stamped motor, 140 speedo, extra large sway bar, larger front brakes and suspension and the special trim tag that all yenkos have. Regular production L78 cars do not have these items, only the 70 planned Yenko Cars have these items.

Re: Russo & Steele photos Fri/Sat.
I don't think the Magic Miror trim tag is exclusive to Yenko cars in 68. I have parted out a few 68 Camaros with the tag and know there was nothing special about them, only the trim tag...Wish I saved a few for referance.

I guess the special trim tag is just reason to dig a little deeper into the car's history. Thanks for the info.

Re: Russo & Steele photos Fri/Sat.
I believe the magic mirror tag was also export required as well, so if it was an export camaro, you would also see this. Export did not need to qualify for emissions as i understand.
Maybe the ones you parted out that had the magic mirror tag were the some of the remaining missing 4 ?? Charlie, was great to meet you and many other members as well....some nice cars that crossed the block during teh shows.
