It´s a real Yenko???? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Car is located ca. 113mls. away from me...

Looks like the only thing you have is his word that's it's a Yenko.
Doubtful.....

They went a little crazy and painted everything body color. Trunk, fenderwells, etc...

lousy job putting the trim tag back on as well! also a 69 yenko stripe on a 68 and it would have had a stinger hood, not a cowl hood http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

If a real '68 Yenko, where's his Y# tag?.
And 68's had a unique hood...it was the 67's that had the stinger style..
Not that they made any ragtops but '68 Yenkos were first Copo 9737 cars which have MM Trim Tags & 140 Speedos..
Being an export car it's possible it could've had an MM T'Tag which would've made things even more confusing!.

Roof, Swiss first allowance in 1968, documentation and papers available. Only to Showzwecken gone (ca. 500km) vehicle in almost new condition. (Original Inter). Brake plant, tire, rims newly.

Vehicle out of private collection.

The vehicle corresponds to an Oldtimer after the entire image and that

Maintenance condition the requests the §21 C STVZO.

In questions please call under

I think say the photos all. If the well finest in Europe were allowed to be.

Vehicle became in prof. Photo studio photographs. No retouch at the picture.

Sample trip desires and always possible. Location: Sew Augsburg

This line seems to say it all:

"with Conversion to 427 BB Yenko"

What is a Cabrio? I have never heard this term.

[al8apex]

cabro is short for cabriolet or convertible

the term for a "convertible" , which was a roadster with roll up windows, from the late 20's

roadsters used side curtains to keep the weather out

the cabriolet was quite an improvement, nicer top and sealed windows

anyway, a lot of people still use the term cabriolet for a convertible, obviously still in Europe

The DSB black CA plates are WAY off for a 68, so assume they are for "display" only, they would have been from 64 or 65, NOT 68

VW used the "Cabrio" for the rabbit/golf drop top.

[MultiMopars]

Thanks.

I guess i had never seen the abbreviation.

[Unreal]

Would a cabriolet be sex in the back seat of a convertible?

[ANDY M]

No, that would be "Redneck-Olay". http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

[BARN FIND]

Shouldn't this be a "Magic Mirror" tag if it were a Yenko?

[enio45]

Yes for sure, wrong trim tag for a 68 Yenko

[njsteve]

And the Home Depot 1/2-inch rivets are another clue, too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Not every 1968 Yenko was a COPO. So the TT is not a determining factor if the car is indeed a Yenko. Although the bulk of '68 Yenko's are COPO's and did receive the Magic Mirror TT...BKH http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
