No, I'm saying theres nothing to indicate to me this isn't your standard Yenko 427 COPO Chevelle. It's not an SS, it's not a Malibu, and the photos were not taken 1969, so the lack of stripes/repaint/etc. is not shocking. There are plenty of cars that Yenko modified outside of the standard COPO cars. This just doesn't appear to be one of them.

I have a few friends that grew up in the surrounding neighborhoods back in this time frame . All who would of been in their early to mid teens at the time. Ill show these pics around ,maybe somebody will remember it ??? Everybodys older brother or sisters boyfriends had Cool cars back then

or... the first pic is of a non Yenko with emblems slapped on. People did that even back then. We may be looking at a 307 Malibu with Yenko emblems on it

It’s not a Malibu. It’s got all the details of a COPO, and Yenko badges, including Yenko specific 427s. It’s a Yenko.

The hood looks to be more faded the the rest of the car.

The picture of the Garnet Red Yenko at Carlisle doesn't have a grill bowtie. Do you think the owner removed it or did some come like that?

the red one with side pipes is missing a bunch of trim, windshield trim, front fender opening, grill bowtie, grill eyebrow

maybe the guy was working on it

looking through some Yenko Chevelle pictures

here is a restored one with black stripes but I don't know if it is the same car from the 1977 picture posted here

the one next to it with white stripes was a one owner car at the time and may still be

IIRC, the original owner car was Frank Radake of MO and was sold new from Francis Chev in Bridgeton, MO, and I thought the other red one in that pic was owned by Mike Guarise of WI and was sold new from White Allen Chev in Dayton, OH.
