1 million dollar 69 Yenko SuperCar

[bbbentley]

To my way of understanding, why would a test mule/pilot be needed period, albeit for Don Y.? Yenko had been doing conversions for quite some time already and knew what the car could do. Handling, braking etc...would be no different than a 396 car. Performance acceleration would be a couple of tenths in the 1/4 better than a L78. That was the only difference. Most all the characteristics of BB Camaros were known for a year and a half (Mid 67-thru 68). What would a mule tell them (GM & Yenko)? The only thing I could see would be for the Norwood plant to understand the components needed to do a COPO. I would think a "test" car would have been destroyed?
