67 Yenko Camaro at MCACN

[JoeC]

It is hard to believe that YS-601 is the first Yenko 427 Camaro built. The trim tag 02E build date means that car was not converted until March 67.

There are more early Yenko 427 vins. One is Dec. 66.

The early Yenko photos and ads appear to show two butternut yellow SS RS Camaros , one with black top one without. The black top car appears in an early Yenko 427 Stomper Camaro ad.

This ad uses the early "Stomper" name and has no mention of Dick Harrell as Yenko began to do SS350 to SS427 Camaros before the deal with Harrell.

It is hard to believe that Yenko would wait to March 67 to build a 427 Camaro when he had everything needed by Jan. 67 . Yenko bought early conversion parts from Bill Thomas.
