Exactly. There was no set place or template that dictated exactly where the emblems had to go. That includes the 427's too.

Like I said in a previous post, I agree this car looks like a copo, but anything is possible. Joel Rosen would have built you whatever you wanted as long as you had the cash to pay for it. There are a few things out of the ordinary on this car that gets the gears in my head turning :D

Joel Rosen didn't build this one. Don Yenko did.

Gee, thanks for clearing that one up :D

No problem.

You guys sure it’s a real yenko or COPO or made up?

Forget about the car in the pictures for a minute. So you’re basically saying that there is no way no how Don/Yenko Chevrolet would have put a 427 into a Chevelle in 1969 (non copo) no matter how badly a customer wanted one in a different color than his run of supercars? It would explain the lack of stripes, headrest call outs, and the black crest. I thought dealers were in business to make money. Cash talks, and the customer is always right.

No, I'm saying theres nothing to indicate to me this isn't your standard Yenko 427 COPO Chevelle. It's not an SS, it's not a Malibu, and the photos were not taken 1969, so the lack of stripes/repaint/etc. is not shocking. There are plenty of cars that Yenko modified outside of the standard COPO cars. This just doesn't appear to be one of them.

I have a few friends that grew up in the surrounding neighborhoods back in this time frame . All who would of been in their early to mid teens at the time. Ill show these pics around ,maybe somebody will remember it ??? Everybodys older brother or sisters boyfriends had Cool cars back then

Exactly my point. Maybe I misread, but I thought someone said, "Same car."
