Awesome car indeed. I was glad to be part of that historic display last year with Dana's car. What a blast.

in 67 and 68, Yenko used Super Camaro in the ads and other info but I don't know if it was 100% as Don and Donna Mae liked to play around with the ads and promo material and changed them.

In 1969 the "MEET THE MEAN ONES" ad has "The Yenko Super Cars" and YENKO SPORTSCARS INC.

On some original documents, sYc is "YENKO SPORTSCARS INC." , the YS-xxxx numbers are "Yenko Sportscars serial numbers"

Even the Yenko Honda Mini Stinger ad has YENKO SPORTSCARS INC.

Don and Donna Mae were very proud of YENKO SPORTSCARS INC. and used that name on many documents from 1960s into the 1980s. YENKO SPORTSCARS INC. was recognized as a manufacturer by SCCA, FIA, ACCUS, and AHRA.

In 1968 they were trying to get NHRA to recognize the 1968 427 Super Camaro as a production vehicle.
They sent NHRA a letter where they claimed to have built 150 Stingers, 107 1967 Yenko Super Camaros, ordered 200 1968 Super Camaro base vehicles and said they will increase it to 600.
ALL the production numbers they used in that letter have proved to be incorrect.

So maybe in 1969 they were Super Cars, but earlier they could have been Super Camaros?

Or SC/Ramblers? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

The Camaros were always Super Camaros, based on what I have seen. In 1969 when the line up was increased to Chevelles and Novas then as a group they have been referred to as Yenko Super Cars.

I have never seen the 427 Camaros identified by Don as a Yenko Super Car, although they indeed were all Super Cars.

But a Yenko Nova is a Yenko/SC?

I actually thought that it always stood for Yenko Sports Cars. Seems like all the letterheads, invoices, and correspondence from Yenko Chevrolet used that wording. When they began building Camaros in 1967, it was a coincidence that &quot;YSC&quot; still worked for Yenko Super Camaro. Along came the Yenko Nova in 1969, and the name &quot;Yenko Super Cars&quot; worked just as well.

But I thought &quot;YSC&quot; stood for Yenko Sports Cars, and there were various twists on that acronym.

OK, so let me amend my initial query, as I never thought &quot;SC&quot; stood for Super Camaro but &quot;Super Cars&quot; or &quot;Sports Cars&quot; as Mike points out.

It seems this is a can of worms, but one with several answers that could be correct depending on the year.

Yenko Sportscars was the Company &quot;technically&quot; selling Yenko Super Camaros.

In 1967 it was a combination of Yenko Sportscars and Span Inc.

many of the 1967 ads show ......

&quot;Manufactured by Yenko Sportscars&quot;
&quot;Distributed by Span Inc.&quot;

the 1969 headrest logo is &quot;sYc&quot; as that just looks better as a design detail
the stripe has &quot;YENKO/SC&quot;

I would think they mostly stand for Yenko SportCars as that was the name they used as the manufacturer but hard to say what they were thinking at the time.
