bergy,

As someone who was researching the Yenkos in the 1980's , I remember when the 201 number was first used then changed to 198. Then saw the 198 number used but some still used the 201.

I remember this because every time I saw it I wondered why they used 201.

The 198 plus 3 vins was used much later so that is not why the 201 was used (by some) over the last 30 years.

Even today, I don't see why anyone would use 201 as the number for 1969 Yenko Camaro production.

From what I can tell, the 198 plus 3 vins would not mean there were 201 built since at least one of the original 198 vins will be replaced by at least one of the 3 new numbers.

If you post 201 vins on here then some people will go back to using the 201 number.


Or do you think there were 201 built?
