1968 copo?

After trying to remember more you are most likely correct.  I think it was Lillard that said this blue car had the A/C added (along with the radiator) after the fact.?.  Wish I would have gotten the vin & tag info at the time.  This was at Ernst place back at sYc reunion 1.

Thanks everyone for responding. I didn't know about a 68 copo until now. Sounds like it was just a sway bar and spedo change for Mr. Yenko. Too bad this car never had the 427 swap somehow I think that would make it more valuable but it is still a cool car as any L78 is.

I thought the 68 Yenko with AC was red too, but it's an O-2 car. Sold new in Pensacola.

 Correct it was Corvette Bronze. It was not ordered as a COPO, but a 396/325 with AC and a 4 speed, RS and VT.  Fred Eggers was a salesman for Yenko and complained he need an air car to drive in Florida. So Yenko built this one off version with a 385HP 427 {410HP in Yenko speak} and the rest of the Yenko trim goodies. Assigned YS #8037. The body number falls within 6 of YS 8036, a red/RS. I believe that this car was ordered with the group of COPO units built for Yenko, but did not receive the 9737 Yenko Sports Car package. Not sure why, unless the MV 396/375 was parts of the 9737 package in 1968. But we do know that in 1969 engine codes like 9561, 9560 were used to describe the 427 engines, separate from the 9737. Never heard of a 9737 non 427 1969 COPO...BKH

Does anyone know where this car I showed previously is now?  Still at Cliff’s?

Not at Cliff's. He sold it years ago.
