Default Re: Yenko and COPO info

I think it is safe to say that no one knows the exact number of Yenko Camaros that were built in any Year. There are too many variables to calculate an accurate total. Between transplant cars, cars sold as 396 not 427, cars not built at Yenko, customer order cars, etc. On top of that there are documents that Yenko submitted to NHRA that were clearly exaggerated. The 350 number was used for promotion purpose and I donít think Don sat down and tried to get an accurate number. He knew it was about 350 units (not 300 and not 400) for the 1969 total counting Corvette Corvair Camaro Chevelle and Nova. In my opinion they rounded up the number to nearest 50 units. Itís like the one billionth hamburger at Mikey Deeís, who counted them? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
