Re: Is this a COPO?
 

Car was in Fenton, MI a few years ago.
Just cause the VIN is close to a Yenko doesn't mean much. Lots of cars like that out there.

It does appear to be an original L78 car, had a restamped block last I knew.

Re: Is this a COPO?
 

Thanks Kurt. It still has a restamped block and in OK.
I was wondering if it started out as something different since all other engine parts seem to date code correctly to 68 and VIN was next to Yenko. Glad you cleared things up.

What do you think this is worth? It has less than 40K miles and is in pristine original condition but not a 100pt? SS, 4-spd, 4:10 posi, Grotto Blue.

Thanks.

Re: Is this a COPO?
 

Grotto blue is a personal favorite of mine...that is what mine was/is. Another D2 car...trying to make mine look like the ex-Goldberg Yenko. I wish I could find one like you describe, let me know if you back away or are thinking of "flipping".

Sam's half right... while its true the 68's didn't come with factory installed 427's, they WERE still COPO cars. Look for a 140mph speedometer, "magic mirror" trim tag and a fat front sway bar.

May be a stupid question, but what's a "magic miror" trim tag? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Although the numbers on this example are different being it's a Corvair tag, look at the bottom area of this tag...
