Hello All,

New to the forum and thought I'd tap into the expertise. Was hoping there may be a few folks willing to play detective and help verify the numbers on my 67 Camaro RS/SS Yenko Tribute. I've been doing quite a bit of research and feel pretty confident in what I've got, but other opinions never hurt. Especially from those more knowledgeable than me.

Here's the numbers.

Engine:
engine code - T0703LR = Tonawanda - July 3rd '69 - LR = '69 Corvette 427 4 speed 3X2 BC 435hp?
partial VIN - 19S725437 = chevy - '69 - St Louis - 725437 = orig car ending VIN numbers
casting code - 3963512 = corroborates '69 427? - any chance engine is COPO? Have conflicting info

Car/Body:
12A= Body manufacture started 1st week of December ‘66
D543= started on 4th day of production - #543 on that day
12437 = 12 – model code 4 – standard interior 37 - coupe
741-Z = 741 – red interior Z – standard bucket seat no headrest
R-R = Bolero Red
E 2EM = E – tinted class 2EM – 2E = Air Conditioning 2M = Powerglide Transmission

Do these check out? Any comments or insight is appreciated as the history of the car/body and the engine are as important to me as actually getting to drive her around. I'd like to be able to give the 100% accurate history of the car/body and engine at my local shows/cruise-ins without inserting my size 10 into my mouth.

Thanks much. Looking forward to responses.

Bill,

I'm over in Fairborn stationed at the base. Perhaps I'll run into you in the spring at some of the shows.

Welcome aboard Jarrod!
Sounds like a cool car but not really sure what you're after or want to verify if the car's a tribute, are you thinking it's something more than that or actually built by Yenko?

Here's the whole 'Vette motor Vin possibiles below for anyone searching Vins online to find and link them to their original lump.
194379S725437 - Coupe
194679S725437 - Roadster

If you are interested, the Roadster VIN 194679S725437 is registered according to https://www.add123.com/. (https://www.add123.com/) I didn't run the report, but if you pay the $4.95 you will get the NMVTIS results showing the state where it is located. You would then have to write to the state to see if you could get the owner's information.

Here are the guidelines for getting a state to give you personal information - http://www.accessreports.com/statutes/DPPA1.htm

Good luck
