Would love to see some of you knowledgeable folks discuss this car:

Is this car on Yenko the list? I see no V-2 cars noted. Shouldn’t this car have a magic mirror cowl tag? Is the date and body number in line with other cars?

I see no proof of this being an actual Motion touched car, other than some possible motion parts and a decal.

Car has been around for a few years. Looks to be a 396 car, possibly L78. Has a 3.73 posi.
It was Yenko sold - nothing to indicate that it is a converted car, they also sold L6 cars too. Notice the 120 speedo.
Lots of Motion stickers out there, means very little, IMO.

I don't know if this car was built by Yenko with a 427 but Yenko did do some 427 conversions on RPO Camaros.

There are three 1968 Yenko 427 Camaros listed that were built on RPO SS 396 Camaros. YS-8002, YS-8003, YS-8024 .

They were not COPO 9737 Camaros with the 140 speedo, magic mirror tag, and other special order parts. These 3 vins are listed on the 1968 Yenko vin list.

I believe there were more then 3 RPO cars built because Yenko did build some TH400 1968 427 Camaros. The 1968 COPO 9737 Camaros are said to all be 4 speed cars.

Yenko also built YS-8037 427 Camaro with AC . I don't think this car is a COPO 9737 if it was built on a factory AC car

Eric C. called me 6 months ago and, in my research
/opinion felt it was just a Camaro sold at Yenko with no evidence it was 9737 COPO and no records it was modified by BM.

Been offered this car several times thru different channels - NOT a yenko or copo - also was said to have a Joel Rosen letter - it is one of the "it might be letters" but i dont recall from Joel.
