Re: NicKey finds 67 Yenko #YS724 hidden in plain sight
I also noticed a difference in the VIN, looks like they inverted the last two numbers in the paperwork.......27 or 72?

This is the first hydraulic camshaft 410 HP, automatic transmission '67 Yenko I've ever seen and with the 3.07 rear gear it sure wasn't destined for the dragstrip. It would be interesting to know if these particular cars had L-72 engines with a hydraulic camshaft swap or if they were possibly 427-385 HP motors with a "revised" horsepower rating.

Re: NicKey finds 67 Yenko #YS724 hidden in plain sight
they list the engine code as T0517MY which is a 396 325hp L35 AT
parts list only shows a 427 short block, traction bars, spark plug wires, and tach/gauges looks like they used the original 396 L35 top end ? I have seen 15 in wheels before on some 67 Yenkos but not G70 tires... maybe a typo? the 3:07 gear sounds odd ........ what code is on the rear in the car today? other Yenko paperwork shows 3:35 gear for the Super Camaro 410 which can't be correct for a 12 bolt is there a pic of the trim tag on this car? |

An original owner Yenko with the hydraulic engine and turbo that I have seen used the factory cast iron intake and I believe a CE 390 Hp Corvette block. It had a rear ratio change from the factory as well by Yenko..

Nice docs Steve! Is it being restored?

Not restored at this point. It is just as David sold it to us.
