Thanks 67BB for your reply. YS715 has been located, go to the Detroit Horespower site and look at the recent list of 67 Yenko vins and you'll see YS715. My vin is the only one on the list that does not have a YS#. How do you know who the OH. Yenko Supercar dealers were? I think tracing back the owner history is the only way I'm going to find out the real story about my car. Right now I'm at a standstill with Clyde Ranck of Conosh. PA. can't get past him. A friend of his said a guy named John Wood might know more but he does not know anything of his whereabouts.
As for the dash stuff i don't understand all that. Others have said not all 67 Yenko cars had it. Sure would like to get up with John Wood but I don't know where to start looking.

I quess I'm old fashion but i would never buy a car on ebay unless i went and looked at the car in person. Sounds like this might be your first classic car purchase,if so take someone with you to look at any car if you don't feel comfortable with your knowledge of camaros. Most camaros have rust unless they have spent their life in the southwest. As for not buying a camaro that has had quarters put on it I disagree to let it pass. If put on right its o.k., thats where knowledge of what you are looking at comes in play. Take your time in purchasing a camaro, there are a lot of them out there for sale. I think its best to by from private owner not a dealer. Good luck and enjoy the hobby.

Joe do you think maybe the Yenko folks somehow knew the vins of several L78 cars and kinda stretched the truth to NHRA. But if that was the case why wouldn't there be a lot more vins on the list like mine with no YS#. I've said in the past and will say again just because it was shipped to Jackshaw doesn't mean it was sold there.Need the owner history!!!

Thanks for your reply JoeC. Do you or oneone else know of someone I could talk to in the Philly, PA. area about camaros? Seems to me like thats where it spent its life before I bought it. All the previous owners I know are from that area back to the mid 80's.

Looking for info on my 67 L78 camaro vin #124377N230691. It is on the Yenko vin list but with no YS#. Have gathered a lot of info in the past five months of searching but am stuck on the owner history with a guy named Clyde Ranck in Consh. PA. He is as far back as I can get. I know other but don't want say their names online but will ina PM to me.
I know for a fact it was shipped to Jackshaw Chevrolet in Euclid, OH.. Have not had any luck in my Cleveland search. Have talked to a couple Pontiac guys that got me straight on the Jackshaw dealer story. They sold out about 12 years ago.
Its Yenko story- Warren D. does not have any record of it either on the floor plan or conv. records. It does not have the dash after the 4K meaning it was a fleet order. Seems as if all the located cars do have the dash after the 4K.
Whether it was sold through Yenko or Jackshaw or whoever I just want to try to get to bottom of it. Could talk forever guess I'll shut now got a soccer game to go to.
