Anyone have pics of YS-703, the white 67 I sold to Holub? I'd like to see what it looks like with the new hood.

Thanks to Tom and all those behind the scenes guys. Had a lot of fun, met some new folks that shared neat stories about the past. More of you fellows need to make it to the strip, that just makes the weekend. A Supercar isn't fully restored until its sorted out, and actually makes a decent pass.

Joe, thanks for the pic. The new hood looks sharp (good fit & color match) and I noticed he also added a Yenko emblem to the grille. Both additions look nice but aren't original. According to the first couple of owners, it was quite the sleeper with the only indication of supercar-ness being the "427" just below the "camaro" legend on the fenders. By 1970 or so, it had a fiberglass tilt front end, stripped interior with roll bar, a God-awful paint job (according to the owner), and "White Rat" scrawled on the rear quarters!

Denis, Do you know if it came with headers and scatter shield? It appears that Dick Harrell and part of the Yenko Stinger crew were building some of the 67 Yenko Camaros and advertised them as AHRA legal cars. heres pic of rear view.

Here's a snapshot of part of the original window sticker with the options for this particular car:

I just noticed now for the first time that the car is supposed to have chrome hood latches per the window sticker.

Thanks Denis, it did have the headers and scatter shield. This is similar to the other 1967 Yenkos that Harrell did. I got a few tips this weekend on this info and will have to follow up on them.
I believe this wht 67 is an original "K" 375hp car. It just needed a short block swap but Yenko was set-up to do additional modification on the Stingers such as headers and safty items and appears to have done this with 1967 Yenko Camaros. Maybe under advice from Dick Harrell as to what is needed for AHRA. This is one theory anyway.
