Default Re: finally (yes finally) sold my yenko ZL-1 engine!

I can't say much to respect their privacy, but I would think the harmless feature on a car is a yenko door post tag that should be something that is generic to what don yenko would deem as one of his one offs outside of the COPO program. The fact at some period of time (whether when these cars were first created, or later, I was not clearly sure of this), a ZL-1 engine was installed in these types of cars (no surprise there, Don Yenko made these blocks, and had engines at his disposal).

Just as a point of interest, Camaro ZL-1 #1 had its block replaced with the <span style="font-style: italic">exact</span> block like mine, when it drag raced (or atleast at the end of its use). There were variants along the way from the original casting, but that one special car can likely confirm this is one of the best ones made if it held up so well under torture.
