Don't you want to share the history of your car? That's what we are all here for. I for one would like to hear the story. Bet there are several more in the background waiting to hear to. You definetly share enough pictures of it. Why not talk about it? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Or perhaps I missed it. Point me to the thread where this was all discussed.

[SuperNovaSS]

How about this one:
Cowl tag thread (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/100735/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1)

[ss427copo]

Darren,
hello there. I did give everyone the history about a year ago. I'm telling ya.........some of the members told me everything I wanted to know about my car, except they knew NOTHING about it! NOW...I see the recent post of the Green Yenko (in race trim, like my car was when I bought it) where it didn't come with ALL the Yenko labeling. (a verified fact) Some of the lurkers in here would sell their mother's soul on the fact that ALL YENKO'S had ALL THE TATTOING! They were wrong! Yo.............if you weren't there, then it's specualation, isn't it. Ah.....no 4-row rad. with the turned neck? Maybe, The GM line ran out of them that day?! I was a freshman in high school drooling after seeing all the big block car the other guyz had. NOW...I'm one of those guyz! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
Will, you get my drift, doncha? Hey, I love this board...I think it's great. Some of you helped me with insight on the Big Chevy I just bought. It was built in Canada....and Canada did things unlike it GM USA plants. Hey, 427/450...whattya think?

[ss427copo]

tommorrow.........after I wake up from sleeping on the garage floor! I promise you!

[SuperNovaSS]

So, can we have a pic of your Camaro trim tag?

[DarrenX33]

Jeff-

Teach us something then. Tell us about the car. What is it's history prior to you owning it? 427 transplant or 427 from the factory?

[ss427copo]

Hell yea.........I sleeping in the garage anyway!

Why does it have a low redline tach. Shouldn't the redline be at 6k???? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I'd get the white paint out and do the walls. Nice garage! Wish I had that space to play in. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ss427copo]

L36 engine......it was the only engine and tach you could get in the SS427 for 1967 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

[ss427copo]

Mark.....that's only 1/2 of it!! lolololo. When I built it, I promised my wife her kitchen as long as I got my garage! Oh.....we did attach a house to the garage too! lolol

[427TJ]

Is there another photo in my future Jeff??? Can you make this one with the car a little sideways and crossed-up?

Just kidding, go easy on that big beast.

So how was sleeping in the garage last night? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Steve Shauger]

I thought because you referenced 427/450 when you discussed your impala it may have been one of the seventeen L72 purported to be installed in big chevies that year, per GM engine records.

[Xplantdad]

I think that Jeff was referencing 427450...a member here on the site....at least that's the way I took it! (http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showprofile.php?Cat=0&User=695&page=1&what=showmem bers) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[ss427copo]

WOW......this is the first time I've seen these photos! I knew Bob Schmidt Chevrolet in Maumee Ohio raced the car with his dealership sponsoring it, then Sold it to the person I bought it from in 1974. He keep it till 1984 and sold it to me with 971 miles on it....I assume a 1/4 at a time! lolololol. Post More, Bob!

[Xplantdad]

That's why this site is so cool! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[ss427copo]

Alan Colvin in his book, "By The Numbers" states that there a handful of L72 put into the Z24/4D cars, BUT it has never been documented or have any ever showed up. Possible a COPO order? Still a mystery.

[70-SS/RS-L78]

Bob (bwag) where did you find them KOOL pictures of Jeff’s Camaro. If you have any more
please post them.

[sssteve]

I've heard about 17 alleadged L72 1967 "fat cars" but have never seen proof.If they did exist what would they use for a tach? There is only two tachs available for a 67(5500redline for a L36/427 and 5000redline for everything else 396 and smallblocks).Also IF they were COPO's where in the GM inventory would they get a L72.The COPO system as far as I know used "existing" parts in its inventory and routed them to assembly plants not normally used as rpo's and necessary assembly components(unless they mismatched 427/435hp and 396/375hp components together?)This is a mindbender as the L72 was avaiable in 66 and 68 but not in ANYTHING in 1967.My head hurts, where's my meds?

[ss427copo]

Bill, Give me a week or so. Going to do the same pic as the Camaro but http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif with Canadian Gold!!! These cars were built for driving.....not car covers and jack stands. They're for wusses! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif

[ss427copo]

Steve, Ths Gold SS427 was from your side of the border. BOY....GM Vintages Services is terrific when it comes to cars from St Therese or Oshawa, where mine was built. And VIN# verification in Canada??? Another thing you guyz do right besides hockey , healthcare and pharmiceuticals! They even verified built date (same as the FUNKY COWL TAGS CanadaGM used) and shipping date. 3/20/67 & 3/28/67 respectively! And they did things differently too! I even have a even heater in the big block,rpo K05; like we needed them here in the State! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Pretty cool....ehhhh? (said like a hockey player!) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[sssteve]

Ehh,Ocasonally we do something right.I take it "you all"are talking about a block heater for car owners waaay up north.GM vintage services is for ALL cars sold in Canada not just cars built here.It's a godsend for separating the bogus cars from the real things.The reason it exists is unlike the American system ALL cars were processed through Oshawa Ontario thus creating a single database in ONE location.I don't know how far it goes back but I've heard of guys with late 50s that got a print out on their car.If you ordered a 1969 camaro(CALGARY) the dealership then contacted(Telex I think)Oshawa who in turn contacted its assigned assembly plant(in the case of camaros it would be Norwood Ohio,ALL Canadian cars came from Norwood).If it was for a fat car it would most likely be Oshawa.In the states when you ordered a car the dealership would look up its assigned assembly plant and telex them directly.If you were in say Denver it would be Van Nuys, if you were in Albany NY it would be Norwood(except COPOs).Thus all the original records are "fractured" and not from a central location.I doubt they will ever be "assembled together" as this would be a monumental task.If they did a lot of owners would be devestated suddenly finding out their coveted musclecar is not what it appears to be.Anyway I saw the picture of your car and SHAAAWWWINGG.67s have always been my favorate and while a 1967 SS427 is the ultumate they are out of my price range.A customer of mine has a red/red/black A/C 4 speed car he bought locally,but he hasn't worked on it in years.I'd love to buy it.Another customer has a 67 SS427 Royal Plum 4 speed car he's doing a ground up on(calif.car).I myself am doing a 67 427 Caprice.Love that roofline.You must have noticed the differances between US and CDN cars(body colored firewall and body colored trunk no spatter paint)I'd like to see more pic's. Anyway "you all" have a nice day.Steve

Yes.. I think Jeff was talking about me also. I haven't seen Jeff in many years but know him and his car. He has a very nice Camaro. I remember very well when Jeff first purchased the car, I felt it was one on the best Camaro's in the South Jersey area (next to mine of course). http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
