I am no expert.. not even close. Is it possible that someone had or found a wrecked Yenko and transferred over the tag and emblems?? Too bad you can't get the numbers that were on the tag.

It's been frustrating. But I've got to respect his privacy and wishes. I'm hoping to get the hidden vin behind the heater box this weekend.

Yes, definitely. It's the best explanation if the Yenko tag is real.
In 23 years of knowing about the car, noone has seen the tag or had the complete YS #. A bit of a strange story on why to not show the tag, IMO.

Wes, what is the distance between the tag mounting holes in the door jamb?

Kurt, good point those mounting holes appear too wide for
orig YS tag mounting.

I measured the fender holes, holes under dash where cluster would go, and the door jamb, which were all on spec for a '68 Yenko. I contacted Ed from the AMCM and sent him my measurements and he sent back the same distances, to the centimeter.

The one hole next to the dimmer light switch has been widened.
