So does anyone have an answer to this...

"Was the Yenko stock numbers
( door jam numbers on the tag )
assigned to a car:
...When the car was ordered from chevrolet?
...or when the conversion took place?
....or is there another answer?"

If this is the YS# for the car....the VIN doesn't match the list. Is this a common occurence? How accurate have the VIN/YS# been over the years when cars are found? Which is more common to be correct on the list as it stands now, VIN or YS#?

The VIN for YS8027 on the 1968 list is incorrect. VIN's in 68 started with 300001.

Yes, the VIN and YS numbers should and better correlate.

What makes you think this? We all agree that they should, but not so sure about using the term 'better correlate'.

The door tag numbers on 68 camaros delivered to Jay Kline. Did not match the vin list. They were mixed among the six cars delivered. It was probably common for them to be mixed on each shipment. Who ever put them on the cars. Did not seem care if they matched car number to vin on the paperwork. Earl

There are 2 67 Corvair Stingers that are that way that I know of that went thru Kline. I sent copies of the Span paperwork to Charlie Doerge years ago on them.
