This is the revell yenko kit.  Not built as a yenko as it was a ebay buy with bits missing so i decided not to build as a yenko.  Went for a black no chrome look.  Only changes made was to the motor.  Fitted the 3 x 2 barrel carby set up from a corvette.    Thanks for looking.

Very sinister looking, and I like that. The 3x2 carb swap was fairly common in the late '60's and early '70's. In 1970 I bought a used 3x2 carb. setup to replace the ailing 4 barrel on my '67 396 El Camino. The local speed shop had 4 setups to choose from. Paid less for the intake to air cleaner incl. linkage than what a new 4 barrel would of cost. The Corvette guys were all going to one very large Holly 4 barrel and these setups were everywhere cheap.  As an aside if it should matter to you, think about swapping your license plates front to back. California put the renewal stickers only on the rear license plate. Great looking build.

Thanks guys.  Happy with this one.  Evon managed a third place at our l9cale hooby show with it.  

Espo thanks for the info bout the number plates must admit to not doing research on how they should be.  Being in Australia not familiar with the plates but good for future reference.
