They dont exist, except maybe in clone mode. It could be a YENKO however with a 427.

A 68 (COPO 9737) Yenko 427 is pretty rare. 64 were made, and about 12 known to still exist today.
The 427 engine and Yenko package was dealer installed, as opposed to the 427 engine being factory installed in 69 Yenko models. 1968 Yenko 427 Camaro

very rare. they were were built near the end of the 68 production run. ive heard only 2 or 3 have surfaced with the documentation to prove their authenticity.

This guy says he has the build sheet to back it up.... it is not a Yenko... with all the other cars he has I tend to believe what he is telling me. I am not 100% sure it is a 68... it could be a 69... I was to busy with my jaw on the floor looking at his other cars....

looks more like the 69... as it was not a RS... has dog dish hub caps and the same hood as the 69... some strange greenish paint.... he has two first gens there in his place.... the other is a nice black one.. and a bunch of other HOT cars. As a guess he has to have $1M worth of cars in his shop. if you look in the lounge you will see my post about the shop under... I will try to get some photos...
