67 (YENKO) baldwin motion identification question

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

That's a first for me Berger, I honestly don't know what the list of 107 is for. Must have been another PM you got that info from! I saw that your vin was on the list of 107, but we're not sure if it's on the list of 54 since we don't have that full list. However, Vince does, and if he has your VIN then it's a good indicator that it is on the 54 list, probably a SPAN car, and probably not sold out of Yenko.

My contention is that the list of 54 was for commission payment purposes that were due to SPAN, and therefore may not include those cars sold via sYc - ie; non-SPAN cars. As for the 107 count? I don't really even have any theories on it, nor do I know anything about Dodge dealer pressure?

Good luck, and keep searching

What exactly does this list of 107 mean ? Especially if there are 6 cyl VIN's as has been said previously ? Are we to assume that all of these 107 were 427 cars ? And is there any way to actually prove that ? How do people know that this list is a list of Super Cars ?

I cannot speak for others, but here is what I have.

The list of 107 '67 VINs is actually 106 VINs, as at the bottom of the page is a note pointing out where one number was listed twice. This notation was by DY.

All of the VINs on the list are for V8s.

At the top of the page is typed YENKO SUPER CAMAROS. One sheet is the original and another one is a copy, with notes in pink by DMM. Along with the sheets are several hand written lists with notations, as well as a print out from Chevrolet listing info for 35 of the cars. In addition is a copy of a sheet of info that appears to be cars sold through Span. Some of these cars are listed as 450 HP and others as 410HP.

Is this list valid? All I can say is, these documents, along with numerous others, were purchased from the Yenko estate and are contained in a folder that has a Yenko label on it with "Confidential, YENKO SUPER CAMARO "427" SALES AND DEALER INFORMATION".

And I have yet to see a VIN from a documented '67 Yenko not appear on this list. Actually the opposite, with documented cars not appearing on the original list of 54, but showing up on this one.

Tom, do you have a copy of the letter to Wally Parks from Don Yenko dated Aug 7, 1967 where Don writes about 107 Camaros (1967) 150 Stingers, and 600 1968 Yenko Super Camaros?

[JoeC]

also is the vin YS#604 N185034 on the list of 106 cars?

[Kim_Howie]

Marlin, Just read this post I kind of remember one of my Insurance co. paid off for a stolen camaro with that same serial# So I guess it's my car YEA YEA that's it... Just kidding I would say the co. that paid it off would own it.

does anyone know what week or what vin started
the big block run at norwood in june of 67', also does any one know if any early ones left w/o a 4code like some early z's did, Exactly what does 2B in the trim code mean, is it possible for 4spd on early BBs.

[JoeC]

Matt,
check the CRG web site
http://www.camaros.org/numbers.shtml#67Codes
I believe 2B is 3 speed floor shift and even the very early Z/28 and L78 had a 4code (I think 4P) instead of the 4L or 4K correct codes
If your build date is 6E your vin should be more like N241xxx

I found this on a Yenko dealer network list
Central Chevrolet inc
675 memorial ave
west Springfield mass 01089

[Jeff H]

I think the build date on the car is either 05D or 05E because I saw a car with VIN 228xxx was 05E.

they're still in business Joe but second owner, I called they said they had no paperwork back that far but would ask around, anyone no what Parks's old black 67 yenko also out springfield chevy ys # is, I'm trying to find out if they took receipt of three yenkos at the same time in late june of 67', 1 red(mineys722), 1 blackparks(ys#?), 1? (may have also been bought by guy that bought mine for racing. Two cars for resale used in may of 68' by rudys'motors also in springfield for only 3195 for both , also one for private resale in same newspaper also in springfield for 5100, anyone now howmany 67 yenkos springfield sold that year. Also tracked today a rudys motors in seagrave ny from ad for 2 yenkos in 68' and robert shuttler was name of phone # for 5100 $ yenko then, family still lives at number but I believe he's deceased, I found a shuttlers corner in springfield, I'm wondrering if they named a park or street after him if he died in vietnam(possibly reason for sale in 68'), would any one know if this is parks' car now by any chance.
