About 50% of the 198 (+/-) 1969 Yenko Camaro vin cars are known to currently exist. The vins are known from Yenko inventory records that were retrieved (thankfully) after the dealership was closed down. There are a few discrepancies in vins due to interpretation of the hand written sheets - so the total number of individual vins varies from transcription to transcription. In point of fact, at least one of the "interpreted" vin cars on the list was located and determined not to be a copo (it is not, therefore, on our list). The number (198 +/-) does not include the copo cars that got Yenko treatment under license agreement at Jack Douglass Chevrolet.

Others who were more intimately involved in generation the original lists of Yenko vins may want to chime in. I was not involved in that effort, so I'm relating my understanding of what took place.

Thank you. If another real car, that is NOT on your list becomes known, does that mean it is one of the cars that may have the vin listed incorrectly from the records? Or the records may not be complete? And, are you aware if this has happened before?

Thank you.
