 :popcrn:  I get impression from Chevy buddies they are way easy to fake/rebody with some common body traits to Z28s (like a torque box or second exhaust mount for duels on a dodge). :Twocents:  Looks nice in photos (ok for a Chevy).

Probably a clone considering it is riding on an open semi hauler and the low rent generic tires.    Pretty car.

When I go to the show and shines for all the charities and stuff I do tend to look real hard at the GTOs, and the cameros, also the El caminos. I really love the whole era of muscle cars .I've owned so many and wonder now, why I even sold them .Lots of chevelles and cutlasses,then the dodge van(shaggin wagon 318 with a stick),hooked me when I was 20 working in the oil patch in Grande Prairie Alberta . It got me interested in the dodge MOPAR thing.I am  not someone who will walk past a nice chev or even ford muscle without a good look ,I just appreciate the fact that I am now lucky or smart enough to own something that if I get my kid at school in the charger ( and that is a rare thing) they don't look at the BMWs,or Mercedes, they walk past them and stop at mine  and  say WOW.And how could they not, what a big ass long car, and when I start it  up the heads turn...THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT THE SHIT EATING GRIN OF YOUTH THAT I GET DRIVING THE BEAST.

There's a 'magic' number on the driver side pillar.  :)

In any case, gorgeous car, would NOT kick it out of the garage for being a tribute (I like that word better than 'fake').

Don't think so.

Some did, but to say they all had aluminum heads would be a stretch. I think it depended on what base model Yenko used..396\350 HP or 396\375 HP or if the buyer upgraded to the aluminum heads.

All the 69 Yenko's used the Factory COPO 9561 code and were all L72 427 425hp holly 800CFM 4-bbl carb, mech cam, big port cast iron heads. 11:1cr. 4 bolt main, forged tuftrided crank, forged pistons, alum high rise intake manifold.

I think that's spot on, I'm pretty sure the only Aluminum Heads in 1969, either a rare Central Office Production Order {COPO} or installed from the factory were on rare ZL-1's an "all aluminum" block & heads 427ci engines & the L-88 427ci Corvette aluminum headed "rectangle port" on an iron 4 bolt block in 1969 & there were also some rare Baldwin Motion Motors Cars equipped that way too, I could be mistaken, but that's what I remember anyway... Yenko; Nova's, Chevelle's & Camaro's had the open chamber "Rectangle port iron head" 427ci 4bolt main engines

It says Yenko right on the side so it has to be real.

You got to remember the owner is a Chevy guy, they are always "cheap people" he wouldn't going to pitch the extra change for an enclosed. Lol
