Thanks James. It wouldn't post the pic for me.

The MM tag does not have the disclaimer that the vehicle conforms to all applicable laws or whatever the std tag says... that I believe is why most people have agreed that it was used on "export" cars and because the MV coded L78 was built in such a small number and most likely was not emmission's certified the MV cars also recieved the MM tag.
This is my take based on what I have read over the past 10 years or so... this and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee... but not at a Starbucks!

I think they probably knew that the 427 was going in and wouldn't pass smog with the L78 readings. I had a low mile 425hp 66 Vette and couldn't legally get it to pass smog when the laws here still applied. I sold it because I thought they would tighten the law and they abolished it, I still regret that one.

I met the lady that owned that non converted car while at a car show in wisconsin. I had a feeling she wanted more than what the final bid was. I myself did not understand why a non converted car would be worth so much, but this thread has helped a bit.

I heard lately about a red red 67/68 yenko that surfaced, has that gone to auction anywhere lately? My friend mentioned it to me when we could have went and looked at it, it started privately at 300K then went 500-700K, way out of our price range ..had a one over repaint, but was low milege..and the color was supposidly rare..pretty sure it was red red. Just curious.

Tom's widow is probably listening to bad advise. I hope she doesn't get taken. It is a SS 396 Camaro with the 9737 COPO option that was going to be a Yenko but didn't end up as one.

Kevin Hand posted some interesting insite on the 68 non-converted Camaro last night. What happened to that post?...BKH

[COPO]

It's hard to believe it did not sell at $426K. That is VERY strong money if the bids were real.

I know you don't care about reputation. You spent a fair amount of your time with a Krook.

I believe Colin was on it at 200K and it just zoomed up to 400K. For what it bid up to you could own Colin's converted car with a 427.

Before bidding began a few told me that her reserve was 225k. During the bidding, I was told her reserve was set 500k. I do know this, the auction house did not attempt to convince her to lift her reserve when it hit over 400k. If she changed her mind and raised her reserve, then she decided to go home with the car, no matter what it bid. My $0.02. Ed talked to her for a while right after...what did you think happened?
