fiberglass hoods do tend to stick up no matter what you do to them. Great pic

Looking at the VIN numbers, we are probably looking at the first 68 Yenko Camaro...

That rear spoiler looks like the one that has the rear lip that extends over the edge of the trunk lid. Only a few of those around that i know of.

Great photo Brian
My car is a mid April build and it is/was Fathom Blue.
Rick and I spent a lot of time discussing the spoiler options and concluded that my car had the Yenko rear spoiler and no front spoiler. After looking at this pic and other evidence I still believe in our conclusion.
Now if anyone has an extra Yenko made rear spoiler, let me know. I know of 1 or 2 that got thrown away :-)

For my own edification, what's the significance of the &quot;--&quot; if your car has standard 68 color and stripe scheme...?

[427freak]

Fathom Blue was discontinued in Jan of 68 I believe, but the dealer could order the previous color and thus you would get the Fathom Blue color with a -- code for paint on the trim tag since the code was no longer used for that year. All 68 Yenko's Fathom Blue should be -- code?
There are people on this site who know more about paint and codes than I do but that was the basics.

Does the photo show any detail of the wheel center caps?
I blewup the photo but hard to tell what is on the center caps, if anything

I have YS-8008 as FB with - - special paint trim tag in my notes

Are these early cars 9737?
And MM tags or not?
Very cool pic!!!
Great paint clarification too!

Pete, good question - do we know who has one of the earliest cars to check....if it was a 9737, it would have the 140 speedo and MM tag and the big sway bar to start. Most cars i have seen, including mine are from month 04 - 07E.
