People calling you at home? I would be upset also. voltures, they are circling. Did not know it was for sale. Lets not have another slugfest over a car, show the guy some privacy and respect. Roger

How did they call you at home ? Did you post your phone number somewhere ?

Got docs. from mechanic, she was assembled at yenko, but not set up w/ race components there, those are what made me first reseach her so i still have to find out who put those elements in and when before restoring her. Mechanic said she went through span to central chevy(believed tobe W. springfield,Ma.) They are still in business, they don't have paperwork but manager is contacting owner and old mechanics to see what they might remember of her and original owner, its worth a shot anyway. I'll keep you updated

Berger,
Some time ago somebody posted an ad from an old MA newspaper on this site. It was a classified ad for a Yenko Camaro out of the Springfield area (413) area code. I believe the ad was from the 70's. I do not remember who posted it or when, but it is worth a shot to call the phone # and see if this is the same car.

Matt,
What does your paper work have listed for Yenko installed parts? The nice thing about the 67 Yenko Camaros is that most of them came with headers, scatter shield, traction bars, and SW tach/gauges. So they were pretty hot cars when restored to condition delivered by Yenko. The rear end in your pictures was mostly put in after years of racing. In another post you asked about heads. I believe Yenko used the 375hp heads from factory if it was an original L78.

Thanks steve do you know where i might locate the ad or old post of it. Joe I don't have possession of the paperwork yet but he did say it was assembled at canosburg , was red, same vin, and that the traction bars I described on my monoleafs are probably the same early type lakewood bars they started using in july of 67' there. He also thought their would be a tag for the ys # but was not sure if it was just on corvairs that year, but he has the assigned ys# on the workorders, if they affixed it to the rear door jam above the door latch it appears their are two holes filled and painted there, does yours have this joe.

I don't know of any 67 Yenko's that got the YS# tag. The Stingers and 68 Yenko Camaros did have a tag. 67 and 69 no tags.
