Default Any truth to this Yenko Prototype? IMHO

What says the experts... regardless there are many things wrong as far as the resto goes. I didn't think there were any Nov BE's some Nov BL's converted yes, but a legit confirmed Nov BE?



Excerpted from the Super Chevy Article... emphasis added

&quot;After being used for design work, the car remained with Yenko apparently as a demonstrator for customers at the Canonsburg dealership, and Yenko's dealer network. During this period, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Don himself is said to have taken the car to Tennessee</span></span>, presumably to show off to his dealers in Memphis (Union Chevrolet) and Nashville (E.B. Smith Chevrolet). During this trip, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">with Yenko rumored to have been behind the wheel</span></span>, the car was wrecked, taking a hard hit to the passenger side A-pillar and rear of the front fender.&quot;


&quot;After more exhaustive research by Barber that covered six months, VIN searches, title investigation, and <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">discussions with Yenko enthusiasts and experts, it was finally confirmed that the Camaro in John Miller's possession was indeed the first '69 Yenko Camaro ever built</span></span>, and one of the very first L72 Camaros assembled at Norwood&quot;

Seems to me some of this would have to be in an official record somewhere. The VIN would fall in the lost data sets.
