Default Re: 1987 Don Yenko interview?

Basically to make a long story short, there are 198 cars on the known inventory sheets, and none of the other alleged 300+ have ever shown up anywhere. 68 Yenko's were indeed COPO's, but were SS396 cars converted to L72's, not factory installed 427's, which is probably what Don was referring to by his use of the COPO term.

Example; There are at least three Yenko Camaros, which I know of and they are not on the "List". One Camaro which is on the list, but is not a Yenko. Two are number transposition errors and the other two?? So while there may be a few mistakes and inconsistencies, there are not 300 missing Yenko Camaros.
