1968 SS 427 Camaro it is reported to be a number matching car---black in color--recently sold but is coming up for sale again?-----would this be a copo car? It is LA built car. Nice looking car What would be the price range for this car??? Thanks to all and great board. Todd

It being a 68 would tell you its not a Numbers matching car!!! Someone transplanted that 427 into it, just who, dont know!!

[ruger]

thank you for your reply! I had no idea that 68s didnt have the option for a 427, that is why I posed the question on this great forum. I have appreciated reading your replys and post in the past however your response here is and was a little abrasive. Please remember that some come here to learn from the all knowing. Please try not to talk down to others wanting to learn Thanks Todd

As far as I know at least three of the -68 Yenko Camaros got their 427 engines at the factory. Two all iron L-88 cars and one L-72(the "Heath car"). All documented in some way.
Aren´t they considered to be "pilot cars" for the -69´s to come ?

The Heath car is an interesting one, I've talked to prior owners of that car who laugh about the engine part - it had several engines before the 'One and Only on the Planet' giveaway. The common belief is that there were indeed no proven 427's installed into the '68 Camaros. The pilot car situation is the closest one, but we don't know the vin # of the paperwork for the pilot car!

I won´t argue with you Marlin, since I have only read about it in two articles, from 1996 and 1997.

It says in one of them that all three Yenko Camaros, one white in Illinois, one black in Indiana and one light blue metallic in Colorado, have some sort of documentation.
Heath found a broadcastsheet in his Camaro it says, and that made Chevrolet investigate if it had been built with a 427 at the factory.
The other two all iron L-88 cars still have their protect-O-plate according to the article. The engine code is said to be MV.

Has it been confirmed that none of this is true ?
