Parks black car was YS#713 sold out of Central

[Charley Lillard]

Park's old Black car was shipped to Central with three others. a black one and two deepwater blue ones. The typed in ship date was 7/5/67 but there was a stamped date of Aug 12 1967. Your car was not on the shipping list with Park's.

my car was a 05e trim if I ever find it of coarse, do you have a june shipping order to central w/ 1 or two red ones on it.Wait how long did it take yenko to convert then ship a car, maybe it shipped as late as aug.

One of the problems I have with the list of 107 Yenko 1967 Super Camaros is the late dates of known YS#s. There are numbers in the YS750s range with delivery dates in late Aug. 67. If Yenko’s YS7xx number did not even hit 60 by Aug. 67 I don’t see where the other 47 cars came from. (107-60=47). When researching the 107 number list I see that the first 61 numbers on the list look like they can be real Yenko 427 Camaros. The vin no. on Yenko’s batch order list fall in the first 61. The vins from 62 to 107 appear to be a random list that varies from very early cars to very late cars. I have 37 vin numbers that I believe are real Yenko 1967 Super Camaros. 35 on my vin list fall in the first 61 of 107 vins. Two of my 35 Yenko vins are not even on the 107 list. ED C. shows about 65 1967 Yenko Camaros. How many documented cars are on the list between 62-107? I don’t show any documented cars on the list between 62 and 107 but I don’t have all the numbers.

joe do you know my ys# for sure, I was told 722, see where that number corresponds in your batch order list, also would early cars have shipped in late 66', and are you sure all the cars on the list are camaros or could they be stingers mixed in too.

On my list of 106 '67 VINs, I have supporting evidence to back of about 60 of the numbers. These numbers are backed up by various documents that came with the list. It appears that these documents were used to compile the list and suggest that the list is indeed valid. It was because of the various sources of info used to compile the list, and how they were added to the list, which causes confusion. One must view these documents along side the 106 list to totally understand how and why the list exists.

And, if you arrange the list by VIN, lowest to highest, it is the first batch that is missing. The first 45. Why, I do not know. Maybe not assigned SYC numbers, not converted, small block cars converted, Stormers? Hopefully as more cars are discovered and documented, this and other questions will be answered. Until then, I am not going to discount any of the numbers of the list as non-Yenkos.

I know Don Yenko was known to inflate production numbers a bit, but I honestly do not believe he would "create" VIN numbers. If caught using false numbers, which would have been easy to check, could have meant big trouble for Don and Yenko Chevy.

Any info if yenko offered L 88 heads or dual quads as an option, Guy who pulled motor says it had both on a 66' cast iron block, w/ high rise intake (sounded like an old 60s style supercharger the way he described it)....

[berger]

Can you believe we got another vin on two old bills of sale, its no where to be found on the car, 123377O24223, looks like a dash at the end on one of the bills of sale.. Any ideas what the heck this is, its a low numer(early)

Something to think about in regards to the '67 Yenko. Berger bought the car from a Police auction, with, I am assuming, a receipt from the police. But, at that time the car had a VIN plate attached for a 6 cyl. car, not the Yenko. Thus, what he bought, and has a receipt for, would be for the 6 cyl car, not the Yenko, basically no proof he legally bought the Yenko body. And I doubt that if the police had known the car's VIN tag did not match the stamped number, they would have sold it. At least not without a ton of red tape.

So, who actually legally owns the Yenko body? Berger or the person with the title and/or the VIN/trim tags or ????
