Ed
My car is 04B. Are there any earlier dates? Also, the trim tag on 8021 is identical to mine except the body number is 4 apart but my car is about 200 later in the vin. Interesting?

Still trying to wrap my head around the MM trim tags.....Why?

I know I didn't cut up a 68 Yenko, but it had a MM tag. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img]

..... Does MM tag ..... mean &quot;Majic Mirror&quot; that is stamped at the bottom of the trim tag?

I blewup the photo but hard to tell what is on the center caps, if anything

I have YS-8008 as FB with - - special paint trim tag in my notes </div></div>

While hard to see on my computer screen, When holding the original photo in my hands I could see the Atlas checkered flag &quot;Aa&quot; logo on the caps. A great pic, and definitely a historic shot!

Yenko prototype #YS8002 is a January third week build date. It is Corvette Bronze and does NOT have the Magic Mirror tag. It is also not a 9737 car. This car is the primary car used in the seldom seen 68 promotional photographs. It was equipped with the very rare fiberglas one piece decklid/spoiler combination. The original steel decklid from the car was used to create it. I doubt there is an earlier build date than this for a 1968...BKH
