Wonder why the placement of the Yenko badge was lower on the vintage photo, and higher up on the later photo?

Exactly my point. Maybe I misread, but I thought someone said, "Same car."

another possibility is that this Chevelle was from Jack Douglass Chevrolet.
A Douglass converted 427 COPO may have had different placement of stripes and emblems even less consistent then the Yenko Chevrolet converted cars |

the red Yenko Chevelle with side pipes was posted on team chevelle.
It was said that the original owner brought it to the show. There were 2 pictures posted, this is the other and has a time stamp 9/22/2012 |

Different cars if I understand what you are asking. If the vintage photos were of a car that did not go thru the Super Car department that could be why they were in a different place. If only Don were still alive to bring more of this to light.

I'm really not the one to ask that question as there are many more people on here better qualified. However I do know they did modify cars for customers.

I see no reason not to believe the car is a Yenko 427 COPO Chevelle. Aside from the fact the stripes are missing, everything else is there.

Why the black crests then? Sure would be nice to know the VIN. Maybe one of the unknown Garnet Red cars.
