SS/LA would most likely have been a 255 horse 350. Not quite Yenko territory.

Also Yenko/SC on the decal is either filled or wasn’t there to begin with. A Yenko clone in ‘74.?. Surely not....

"SYC" is on the hood. In regards to the back quarter panel b&w photo hides a lot. It actually could be there.

Guys would take any available old Camaro to make a race car out of. A Yenko with the motor blown up was probably cheep...lol

No spoilers. Spoilers too heavy? Add too much drag so they removed them? Asking for a friend.

John,On the first generation Camaros the front spoiler helped elapsed times and the rear spoiler hurt elapsed times.I don’t know about now but in the 70s and 80s in Stock and Super Stock NHRA said
if you ran the front you had to run the back spoiler or neither, Rob.
