Default 67 yenko emblem placement?

I've seen a few different emblem combinations for the 67-yenko camaros, whatís correct?

Some use the 67 Vette 427 turbo-jet emblem, some use the basic 427 with a set of cross flags (2 separate emblems), Some yenko emblems are red white and blue, and some are standard black.

Did it depend if the car was a small block based car or a big block car, as a donor??

Then there's emblem placement thatís a whole different issue esp. on the rear panel and spoiler, yenko emblem on the drivers or passengers side of the gas cap? 427 emblems on the spoiler or no emblem on the spoiler.

Hum???

Yenko did not use the "Yenko" shield emblem until 1968. No 67s should have these at all, red white and blue nor black and chrome. The individual 4 2 7 numbers taken from corvette were the only emblems besides the standard issue camaro emblems already on the car on any original pics we have. The attached picture is pretty funny. Those are yenko deuce door panel decals stuck on the hood! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

That looks like a Fredie-corvettie creation. Is the car from Laguna Beach? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

The yenko emblems on that car are 1970-up. It is actually the style used on non-supercars. Same one used on 70 Deuces, but with black paint instead of red white and blue. the other emblems are from a 67 impala, which could possibly have been used, although all the original photos in my brother's collection show 67 yenkos to have the individual 4 2 7 numerals as used on the hood of big block 67 vettes. Because a 67 Yenko has no outward markings or stripes denoting it as a Yenko, as the 68s and 69s did, alot of 67s had the yenko emblems added when restored so "bystanders" know what they are looking at... They may look cool, but they aren't correct on a 67.
