68 yenko camaro 396 mv suffix engine

There are a lot of unanswered questions on the 1968 Yenkos

The Magic Mirror tag was a standard Chevy tag used on many cars before 1968.
It was not just an export tag. It was used on special order 1968 Camaros including Yenko COPO9737, used on some export 68 Camaros, and used on some non Yenko, non export Special Order 68 Camaros.

I think there were special steps taken by Chevy and Don Yenko make the 1968 427 Camaro legal for NHRA Super Stock. If it were accepted , they would have had to prove that 50 were built and the MV code would prove there were special COPOs built along with a vin list from Yenko.

There are a few surviving documents between Chevy, NHRA, and Yenko, showing the attempt to get the 68s approved.
