yenkos were all copo cars

Yenko didn't do any of their own engine swaps?

Really?

Thanks Brian, learn something new every day. How is it you are so well versed on 60's automotive history. For me, I was wrenching on my car as a kid to keep it running back then, but read every car mag I could get my hands on. Dreaming of what I couldn't afford back then, like a GT 40. Still can't afford an original GT 40, but looking to buy a replica. Will I still be considered a "Bangshifter" with a manual trans GT 40?

I thot the 427 yencos started as 396"s and he swaped in the biger motor.

I was showing a picture of an outrageously orange 1974 Vega to a friend the other day because they hadn't seen the color and it was like jumping in a wayback machine. A virtual flood of memories, some even good!

Yes they did swaps too. Yenko did engine swaps for the 1967 and 1968 Yenko 427 Camaro's, then went with the COPO cars for 1969 so they didn't have so many 396's laying in the shop for sale.

Yenko Camaros were special cars build by Don Yenko's Chevrolet dealership back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He did Corvairs, Novas, Camaros, etc.

COPOs are "Central Office Production Order" cars build specially by the factory itself.

Both are very valuable!
