> EDIT: Nevermind… Don Yenko’s Camaros were equipped with a 427ci L-72 in them with either an M21 or M22 transmission. The horsepower was rated at 423hp. Yenko Camaros were not allowed to race for Chevrolet on the drag strip because they were not made by Chevrolet. Chevy’s answer to this was the Copo Camaro, or Central Office Production Order, in 1968. The Copo Camaros were equipped with the same 427ci engine and were allowed to race for Chevy.

You got it brotha… thats why they are not worth quite as much as a Yenko… still worth a pretty penny, but the Yenko has it covered.

Thanks a lot guys… Ill show my dad this thread… im sure he will be happy! I do love this car… the color just does it justice. He wants to get all of his cars shot at once as soon as his 69 Nova 396/375 is done. I cant wait!
