That's a big bar there. Looks like they engineered a fix to prevent the threads from pulling right out of the frame....

Awesome swaybar info also great to see the frame brackets in the one pic too.
Does the Desert Rat and/or other known '68 9737 cars all have this bar same setup?
Being the bars were a handling package, is it know if any 68's Road-Raced by Team Yenko were built from 9737 cars?
-
Here's a bunch more old ads for '68 Yenko Camaros only, I've tried to lay them out chronologically but may be mistakes.
I didn't include duplicate ads w/ different dates although some may be the same cars through the years/different owners?
Note not all are 427 cars, regular L78's sold at Yenko or unconverted 9737 cars?

Googling the 375 # brings up this page w/ info for the Casp family in West Aliquippa...
https://homemetry.com/West+Aliquippa...DINAL+AVE/1707
Looks like possibly the same name and # also address through a few generations?
Is the May '72 ad w/ 373 # an Aliquippa # too...connection to the later ad?[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
Someone near there should give it a whirl.[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Nothing special here Eddie and just regular Googling w/ the # also word Aliquippa.
Are you going to try calling as someone from here really should before others do?

Back to the cars, below are a couple more '68 Yenko ads I missed when posting the others yesterday.
Love to hear what all known genuine '68 Yenko Camaros exist also more anything of the '68 9737 cars!

Hi Pete,

Your PM is maxed out.

I found two ads in the Tennessean dated Sun., 17 Mar 1968, pg. 67; and Sun., 28 Apr. 1968, pg. 48 for E. B. Smith Chevrolet in Nashville. These ads stand a good chance of being good, but I could not access and open these ads. I thought you might have luck with them, judging from what you've posted.

Thanks,
Bryan

Sounds great Eddie and best of luck!
Again, what of the 373 # in the other ad...Aliquippa area too?

I can't save pictures on this computer Bryan but do see the EB Smith ads you noted.
Please let me know if something specific you're after as other than regular Camaros, I don't see anything Yenko or 427/396?
