Ill let the OP say more, but all the data in my call with Aggiedan03, seems to strongly indicate it is one of the "non converted cars" - so now we have 3 located to date.

First 2 now sitting in the American Muscle Car Museum in Florida.

Supposedly sold from Ohio in the very very early 70's.

Great find - I think Doug would say - "never say never" when it comes to finding a Super Car!

I have a 68 MV Block (396ci / 375hp) that might be to your car. These engine were used in 68 Camaro cars destined to be converted by Yenko.

congratulations on a great find

the body number is 4 units away from another Yenko COPO 9737

Does it have the original MV code 396 engine?

Does it have the large front sway bar?

Any signs of a Yenko YS door jam tag or Yenko crest emblem on the tail panel?

Your speedometer is worth it’s weight in gold I’ve seen some guys in the past ask more than $5000 for those. Congratulations on your find. Converted or nonconverted they were always cool cars and there are several people on this site that are well-versed and will be able to help you in your quest for knowledge.
