The last few weeks we have received several calls regarding 1967 Yenko Camaros, basically all asking the same questions regarding the 107 list http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/76007/an/0/page/0#Post76007 To save everyone a few calls, we have gone over all of our info on 1967 Camaros. We will try and answer a few of the main questions.
1.It appears Yenko Chevrolet sold at least 107 Camaros in '67, maybe more.
2.It appears not all '67s received YS numbers.
3.Not all '67s were converted.
4. Few, if any '67s received Yenko emblems
5. Very few '67s received the Stinger hood, or 'glas decklid
Early on in 1967 it seems Don Yenko's focus was on selling Yenko modified Z-28s for SCCA racing, called the Stormer. A continuation of the Stinger Corvair program.
Appears Yenko did not begin installing 427 engines until the spring of '67, perhaps wanting to convert only factory big block cars.
Though all Yenko sold cars are neat, as an investment, though often times time consuming and frustrating, do your homework on each car individually, especially '67s. Even though the documentation may point to it being sold by Yenko Chevrolet, documenting a conversion by Yenko is as equally as important, as the price difference between a converted and a non-converted Yenko is quite substantial.
