Good pic Charley thanks, as some of you can tell I’m interested in these hoods because I have one that came on my car when I bought it in 1995. Most pics of these hoods are of the top which doesn’t tell much. You have to see the underside to tell something about what manufacturer made them. I can post some pics if you want to see my hood.
I enjoy learning small simply things about the 67 Yenko Camaros.

Later,

Nice. No Yenko emblems there either. I actually like it better. It's cleaner without and the subtle 427 emblems are the only giveaway. Did the first conversions not have them ? Looks like it may have a trunk spoiler by then though. Were they a counter item by June of '67 for Yenko to install ?
I bought a '67 from the original owner in the fall of '70 and the first thing I did was go to a dealer and plunk down about $32 for one and put it on.... just like soooo many others. It makes the back end look so much cooler.

that's is a great photo. thanks for posting

The Corvette 427 on the fender is the same as other Yenko built 67 Camaro photos.

The Harrell built cars used the 1966 427 Impala flags emblem as seen in some original photos

Richard - if you don’t mind - please post a pic of the underside of your stinger hood.

The Yenko July price list did list the GM trunk spoiler as an option, but there was no price listed. the spoilers were new llate in the 67 model year & availability may have been the issue. Of course, the fiberglass trunk lid with integral spoiler was listed on the Yenko option sheet and was available. To my knowledge, none of the Canonsburg converted cars received the fiberglass trunk lid - at least one St Louis conversion is shown with that trunk lid in an early picture.

Default Stinger hood pics

My hood weighs 22 lbs.. The scoop is open and appears to be made that way. I’m wondering if the Parks car and 703 have the open scoop like mine. Mine has the infamous bulge in the center that people talk about. I see no way to get the bulge out, seems as if it’s made that way.
Another thing I’ve noticed on the Parks car pics is it has a steering column mount type tach. I’ve been told that the 67 Yenko Camaros tach was dash mounted under the ignition switch. Is 703’s tach steering column mounted or under switch type?

Here are some pictures I took of 713 at Mecum Indy in '08. The scoop doesn't appear to be open in this picture.

Here's a picture of 703. It doesn't appear to have an open scoop either.

Scoop appears open in the reportedly ‘83 pic below from this 03/04 thread including original ad from when Jim bought it…

Thanks for the pictures, I remember seeing the white car now. It’s sometimes hard to tell if the scoop is open. Look at the picture of mine facing up. That shot was taken in the bright daytime and it looks like the scoop area is painted black but it isn’t. Same for 703, it could be an open scoop.
I bet Mr. Parks would remember if the black car had an open scoop. Maybe my scoop has been cut out, if someone did they did a real neat job.

Thanks all,
