Thanks for the tip. Looks like an early small block camaro that was sold by Yenko Chevrolet, not to be confused with a conversion car.

As with any car sold by Yenko Chevrolet, definitely a cool car, especially being such an early car, just may not be what some folks consider a “true” Yenko, that is, converted to a 427.

For many years the consensus was all ‘67s were 427 cars, but as more paperwork, and cars have been discovered, it appears that not all ‘67s Yenko were converted. Therefore, because of the significant price difference between a converted car versus a non-converted car, I would suggest anyone considering buying a ’67 Yenko to do their homework.

Hey Tom - just to clarify, the '68 converted Yenkos all started life as COPO ordered cars, so they are definitely a different animal than the '67s (non COPO) in that regard. So a non-converted Yenko in '67 and a non-converted '68 are distinctly different wrt value.

Not all 68 Yenko's were COPO's either. The very early cars were not 9737 cars and carried none of that special equipment. But its true most 427 conversion '68 cars were Copo's..BKH

Thanks (I did not know that) dude!

BTW Brian, how many of the '68s were not COPOs??
