Missing Link.

Here is a link I found to an article about the one and only 1968 Yenko COPO Camaro. Nice article.

Anyone know where this 68 Yenko Camaro is today? Last I heard was that a woman won the raffle but did not take the car.

There is no evidence that this car is a one of a kind car. Is it a COPO, yes, a factory 427, I doubt it. It would have had the 140 speedo, large sway bar, as the Yenko 9737 COPO would have prescribed, but no 427. Jay Kline had an initial order of six cars. 8005,8008,8010,8011,8014,8016. Nowere is it noted that this is a 427 factory car. There were three cars that are set aside as prototypes without a COPO. 008 is not one of them. My research has lead me to believe that all 1968 Yenko's deleivered with 396/375 coded MV also had Yenko Sports Car Conversion COPO 9737. Anyone with a surviving POP will show an MV code. My friend has the MV 396 untouched from Yenko out of car 006,with VIN a Roy Stauffer car. That is fact. I would have serious doubts about anyone presenting a 427 MV code block. This topic has been around the block a few times. Nobody has shown me evidence of a real 427 MV. Fancy paperwork is nice, but lets see a MV 427 in the flesh. I have heard of other Yenko's following the lead of car 008 having a MV coded 427. Is this a case of follow the leader? That's my findings, anyone care to challenge?..BKH

What about Kevin's 1968 Yenko SS Camaro 427 COPO 9737 with a MV coded engine?

What would be the difference between the MV 396 and the normal MQ motor that came in L78 Camaros in '68?

Another Jay Kline car? I will most certainly have to call John Orlando to have a talk.
