PJ - your link is for a 68 SS convertible. To date only two of the reported 6 non-converted Yenko Camaros have been unearthed.

This is the Billigen car. One of two known to exist. This is the way Yenko ordered them from the factory prior to transplanting in the 427 engine. (427 was not part of the COPO ordering from the factory in '68). But other hi po COPO items (special sway bars) were available in '68. I am a novice - others will chime in. Tom passed away a few years ago and his widow owns the car now. Outstanding restoration!

Did they ever have any luck with an NICB on this car?

Didn't Tom buy the car new?

He sure did Dan. I remember the Kenny Ross Chev. dealership campy t.v. commercials. I think he used his grandma in them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

Sure I'm not alone when saying I have seen this car in person several times in past years and it is outstanding. If my memory serves me right, I believe Tom bought it new and then reacquired it many years later.
