Based on research as well - i agree with Ricks analysis...

My non converted 68 Yenko - continued to have the ss emblem on the front as you would expect, as some of the dealer tasks to convert were not completed, such as the front and rear badge were not removed or modified (like the rear one being painted) .

Some of there restored cars are not alway 100% correct - the usual liberties taken by the owner or restorer, but as i said above, Ricks research is correct.

looking through my 68 file, there are 5 original 1968 Yenko Camaro photos that show the SS emblems on the fenders with the Yenko crest above the Camaro emblem.

I have one original photo showing the SS emblems removed with the Yenko crest below the Camaro emblem.
