I think the only thing that makes sense is for Bergy to take this thing apart and give it a good once over. Oh, and I'd be looking for some RG paint like Joe suggested!

Bergy, ignore what you read & please post pictures of the cars progress. it does'nt matter if its a Copo or not at least its got a fantastic History, what alot of fun... p.s. your BB RS restorations my favorite. there really is no meaner color than B.B.

Sorry, but that is poor advice - one should not ignore the written because it represents some element of history. Jim in DE sharing his experience is very relevant, and might explain what Bergy finds when he pulls the car apart. Other folks' sharing their context is also helpful. Right now all we know is that the car has a yenko vin plate, no TT, another car's vin on the f/wall, a big bar and a 140 speedo.

besides the speedo and yenko plate,that's pretty much the norm.

No one's questioning if the dash carrier or VIN number are indeed from a Yenko car, as that's already been confirmed by several. It's notion that the body is original to the car that has many people a bit skeptical, as at least one hidden VIN has been confirmed to be from a different car. I'm anxiously awaiting more pics of the body itself as I think it should be fairly easy to determine if it is indeed the original Rally Green Yenko body or one from another Camaro.

actually more then just the original 140 speedo - the whole cluster. Plus original tank with single 3/8 fuel line and sending unit. I'm out of town for a while - car is under secure cover until ownership investigation is complete.

Hey Joe - Thanks for posting. Can you share who those several people are who have confimed the dash carrier? I wasn't aware that anyone mentioned the SW tach mounting provision. I'd like to speak to them. You can PM me if you wish. Thanks

Does this car have a vinyl roof? If not now, did it ever?
