I had some emails with a guy with the same questions. He said he traded his new Vega for a Yenko Chevelle. Has to be same guy as he had same story about Smitty. Smitty was Bill Smith who ran Yenko hi po engine and marine shop in rear of Cannosburg building. He died in 1986. I told him that Smitty gave him incorrect info. The - - on trim tag was a special paint code for Monaco Orange and Daytona Yellow. More then 10 Yenko Chevelles had this -- paint code. I believe the reason for -- code is that only an SS Chevelle can be ordered with Monaco Orange and Daytona Yellow and since the COPO and Yenkos were not SS cars they needed some type of special code to get Monaco Orange and Daytona Yellow. As far as I know, no Yenko Chevelles came from factory in primer or in any special order color other then Monaco Orange and Daytona Yellow.
