68 Camaro MV Coded Block
I have a 1968 MV Block (T0524MV Pad Stamp) that I would like to re-unit with the car if possible. Don't know if it's a Non-Converted car or a Yenko Conversion. Either way it would be cool to have the block with the original car.
If I can't re-unit I'll consider selling to someone looking for a dated block for a real car. I will not provided the VIN, so if you have a 68 Camaro from Yenko Chevrolet Dealership missing the engine contact me with your VIN for confirmation. My block's VIN is not in the Registry. According to the NCRS Docs the Production Date of the car was 07/16/68 |
IMO - obviously if it is stamped MV and is original stamp, then it was installed and intended to be converted - ordered as a 68COPO Camaro - with the MM trim tag.
Based that stamp date the build date sounds correct for next to the last batch of 68COPO cars. Last batch was 07E trim tag build. The VIN not in the registry is a mystery unless overlooked. The VIN should match a known 68 YENKO car, as the assumption is the motor was pulled at the dealer and sold off, while the 427 short block was installed. The other option might have been it was the car was sold off as a hipo 68 - like some of the late non converted cars that we know of. (there are 3 non converted cars that we know of uncovered today) All 07E builds. Would be exciting to reunite this! |

Sweeettt… congrats to seller and buyer!
Still wonder about original car that motor came out of … why not on the list? Where is it now? |
one can surmise that the orig car that motor came out of was not converted to the yenko 427 and assigned a YS number. Like the other 3 non converted cars, they dont hit the list until discovered generally by the trim tag and 140 speedo and sway bar and few other details.

Can someone link the thread on the red camaro roller again, I'd like to read it again.
|
Which roller - one in AZ or the one in Texas?

If you’re talking about Knappy’s car, here’s the thread when it surfaced… https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=171820 :beers: ~ Pete . |
So does the VIN on the block match Knappy's car's VIN or is it simply in the right ballpark?
|
The vin does not match my car but it is relatively close. The production dates are about 2 weeks apart. Both NCRS reports show Yenko Chevrolet as the dealer.
|
Thanks, Steve. Nice piece to have for the car, regardless.
|
Great finds, hope you post updates on the car Knappy.
