Norm, Don Yenko made a lot of different packages, most notably the "69 427 Cars. The cars were made from '67- '68 ( dealer installed 427 ) '69 ( factory installed 427 ) and He had a Turbocharged small block in the '70's . He made everything from vega's, LT1 Nova's, etc, The original Yenko was a '66 Turbocharged Corvair called the " Yenko Stinger ".

How could he make a "69 427" in 1967 and 1968.

Mike
He made a lot of different packages Most Notable is the 1969 427 Camaros. These were factory installed engines in this year only. Yenko added a striping package, The 1967 and 1968 Camaros were 427's that Yenko installed at the dealership. They had badging but no stripe kit.
I'm trying to re read what I wrote and still don't understand how You got that I was saying that He made a '69 427 Camaro in 1967 and 1968.
