Google image search identified that picture as... "rust", lol. First time I've seen that. That alone ought to tell you something

That car is roached. Not worth saving IMHO. Nothing original and Swiss cheese in every panel.

Interesting comments in that auction. Motor Man chimed in and took a shot at Macneish with the old evening orchid debate.
Seller never responds to questions on BaT but answers some in private messages.
Seller is asked to supply the rest of the Macneish report and claims he only paid $500 for just the certificate front page because a full report was $1800 and not worth it due to CE engine.
Ended up a reserve not met no sale at $37,250.

He may be confusing the title issue date with the model year date.
Plenty of 1966 titles issued for 1967 models sold from September-December

The museum owner is a well known collector who made his money elsewhere and uses his museum for many charity events. The cars are not for sale and I don't think he is trying to mislead any one. He took some liberties on this car based on what it may have been used for at Yenko.

SO it SOUNDS like it was built on the first day of production and sold to Yenko. THEN later received a BB engine and " converted" to a Super Car? Wasn't the traction bar added much later too?

I will save you all the clicks:

This 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS coupe originally sold from Yenko Chevrolet, has accompanying documentation, which confirms two very important facts: it was built on the first day of production, and it was delivered to Yenko Chevrolet on September 1, 1966 to become the first Camaro ever listed in Yenko Chevrolet’s inventory records. Records show that it was listed on the General Motors Acceptance Corporation statement as invoice number BN00197, its first Date of Note being September 27, 1966. A later GMAC statement shows it was paid for on November 5, 1967. According to Yenko archivist Warren Dernoshek, those documents confirm that the car remained at Yenko for approximately one year, prompting the obvious question: why? Some believe that this 1967 Camaro, likely built in the 23rd hour of the first day of production, was used to develop the Yenko Super Camaro conversion. That belief, however, cannot be confirmed. What is known about the car is that it was originally produced as a V8 coupe, most likely a small block car as big block production did not commence until November 1966. Its authenticity is confirmed by examining the hidden serial numbers stamped into the cowl and beneath the heater box opening on the firewall.

Extensive two-year restoration was completed in 2014, in the process modifying it to Yenko Super Camaro specifications using date-code correct components. Finished in the original Granada Gold, it now packs a date code-correct 427 CI engine block using heads, intake manifold and carburetor correctly coded as Corvette L72 427/450 HP components. Other details, including the Muncie 4-speed with Muncie shifter, 12-bolt 3.73 Positraction rear end, factory traction bars, Yenko Green-face custom tach and gauges and fiberglass Stinger hood, further add to the authenticity of this outstanding restoration and conversion. We may never know what purpose was served by keeping the car at Yenko Chevrolet for over a year; there was nothing in the records to show it was itself an actual Yenko Super Camaro conversion. But one thing is certain: this historically significant first-day Camaro is now an accurate rendition of the original Yenko Super Camaro..

Guys, does anyone know this COPO?
Thanks, Doc.

Did you ever find the information you were looking for?

I can get you the VIN on Friday, but that is the auction day for this car and might be to late to research before bidding.

There is a fresh thread on the Paul Offutt collection on the Yenko board. Ask again there in Supercar/Musclecar discussion forum.

« on: January 06, 2019, 05:06:54 PM »

The OP has not clearly stated the way the car was ordered and you two guys interpreted it differently.
1. The car was ordered with a radio and the heater was deleted.
2. The car was ordered with the radio and heater both deleted.
We all know there is no such thing as radio delete but newbies don't so he probably meant #2.
1967 RPO Z28 was for racers and most of the heater delete option cars that went to racers probably did did not order a radio as well.

You can not just put an engine side reproduction BB cover on a SB suitcase, you have to change the whole suitcase

Wow, I've been interested in, owned, and tinkered with camaros for 40 years and did not know that! Is there a thread here, (or on another site) that shows the differences? Or maybe just some comparison pics? Thanks guys, learning more all the time.

Read the fine print. Check with reliable parts sellers before you try and fit a BB inner case cover on a SB case.

* This will NOT fit a small block outer case*

The BB AC suitcase is different from the small block.
You can not just put an engine side reproduction BB cover on a SB suitcase, you have to change the whole suitcase and they are not available reproduction.

Most of them looked to be in pretty poor condition, so unless there is something rare there, you would be upside down in any resto.

And if the owner is still alive and has not sold them yet, you can bet they are not for sale. Some people just like to collect and hold.

If you read the comments on FB there is a lot more details.

The car was owned by a Car And Driver magazine photographer/contributor. He debadged it at some point and touched up the paint. The rest is supposedly original.

The current owner was a friend of the original owners family. Not sure how new this find is, there are plenty of pictures of it cleaned up and at car shows and it's always been known to be a rare car. It's also supposedly featured in a new book coming out about Camaro's

no responses should give you the answer your looking for.If you know any of the other cars no responses should give you the answer your looking for.Too much PC in that world.

Definitely a different crowd over there. Good cars seem to change hands privately. Other member cars are not really criticized. Comments on cars for sale are like: that's a real beauty, GLWS, and would love to have it. About the most critical thing you can post there would be "shouldn't a solid lifter car have a 6K redline?" and you can't even post comments or questions in the classifieds without being a paid member.
