That's YS-725, 124377N241474
Don't follow the big auction prices much, but $400-500K+/- seems to be about right for a proven documented fully-restored '67 Yenko, assuming the resto did it justice (no reason to doubt that).

I kind of thought the Pontiac rally wheels would be correct for a 67 Yenko. Really nice car.

Not in 67.  Option for 68.  Side pipes I believe were added on that car as well. 

BJ - $121,00
Gooding & Company 2015 - $357,500

Wonder what happened to the cowl tag?

[bcmiller]

Tag seems to be there in the Mecum pics?

[KurtS]

A tag is there, yes. IMO, I don't think that's the original tag.

Haven’t seen a close up.  Do you have one you are willing or able to share?

Boys,
Why is it when a car gets a magazine article written (This Yenko is in the May 2019 issue of Hemming's Muscle Machines), they always hit the auctions right after. Do you see a pattern here? Don't get me wrong, Im not criticizing the quality of this car, just the timing after the resto. Your thoughts...

Just a marketing tactic, see it alot with various high end hot rod and custom car builds. You build/restore a car, go win a few big name well known awards, get a few magazine article features. The car is now riding the height of its popularity, so that is the prime time to cash in and get the most back on your investment and have the easiest time selling the car. Mainly this works because you will have the most diverse amount of people wanting the car. In the case of this Yenko, you will get the potential buyer thats not really a Yenko or Camaro person wanting to own the car as its the current "it" thing with being in some magazines. If they had waited to go to auction with the car in say a year or more, then the crowd the comes out will be the die hards that will really go over and pick the car apart and if one or two things are not in line pass on the car.

The tag pic was there when the ad first appeared, it was later removed. Here it is.

Well dang, that’s not good.

Glad to see you saved the photo.  Would hate to have to use “Probe”.

Based on the thread at yenko.net that Darrell linked to above (https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70071) it sounds as though the car was restored in the 1990's by Gene Schmidt, and then again around 2008 by Bob Harris of Camaro Specialties in NY state...

Most of the 1967 Yenko Super Camaros did not get the Stinger hood or side pipes but they were options

the Yenko emblem didn't come out until 1968 so they are not correct for 1967

This car looks like it has a day 2 resto with the spoilers, emblems, and tires

The trim tag does not have the special order dash that many of the 67 Yenkos have

It should still do pretty well at auction
