[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

It is interesting that BKH references another L-Blue Y-Camaro with a later VIN but an earlier body number. The '70 Y-Novas have the same situation within the first 30 cars. The first 15 produced were C-Silver, 06A cars and have later VIN's but earlier body numbers vs. the next 15 produced, G-Beige, 05D cars. I believe this only happens within the first 30 cars, 15 Silver vs. 15 Beige, but I'm not positive.

The Y-Nova guys have discussed this 'out of sequence' situation at length, and generally agree that the body number wins out as the higher priority. We feel that the body holds the tags that make it legal for sale, and therefore the body sequence determines the order in which they were 'intended' to be produced. Some cars might get pulled for various reasons, and end up with a later VIN #, but we feel that the 'car' is essentially complete even though it might not have received it's VIN # yet. The body # is the car's first vin #, albeit for internal mfg. reasons. The body numbers also correlate directly to the 'chevy order numbers' which is issued by GM.

Any thoughts welcome, this is just one theory for the Y-Novas. The Y-Camaros are more complicated because there were many more non-Yenko COPO cars mixed in.
