132787 / 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko

For more information on this vehicle visit tinyurl.com/cka...
Don Yenko's story is legendary, and prices on real Yenko vehicles bear out his wonderful legacy of high performance and factory-built horsepower. With prices spiraling ever higher on pedigreed examples, the smart hobbyist who likes driving his hardware buys a car like this Garnet Red 1969 example, which might be the finest Yenko tribute ever built. With the same fire-breathing 427 under the hood, the dazzling Yenko graphics package, and exceptional attention to detail, it's the ultimate drivable dream.
Code 52 Garnet Red is this car's original color, and the restoration album that comes with the car shows an extensive disassembly down to a bare body, with the spectacular finish built from there. There's a ton of time wrapped up in putting it all back together properly, too, with excellent gaps all around and doors that open and close with no more than your fingertips. And although the COPOs were subtle, Don Yenko knew he was selling performance, and that meant getting the word out on the street, so the complete Yenko graphics package was duplicated on this car. The look is not subtle, but neither is a 427 cubic inch Camaro!
Yes, that's a real deal 1969 vintage 427 under the hood, rebuilt to factory specs. You'll also note that it's detailed for show, with a lot of accurate date-coded components that make the engine bay sparkle. The Chevy Orange paint on the block is especially vivid, and it's topped with a correct intake and carburetor, whose casting and date codes have been documented in the restoration album. Proper decals and labels have been affixed in all the right locations, including the Yenko stickers on the chrome valve covers and a tag on the reproduction Delco battery.
It's also properly equipped with a Muncie M22 4-speed manual transmission spinning a correct 12-bolt rear end. Look closely and you'll find that aside from a set of Flowmaster mufflers, the chassis is just as correct and detailed as the rest of the car. We've had quite a few Yenko Camaro tributes come through our shop, but few have been executed to this level of detail-most guys just want the look and the 427, but to go the extra mile and detail it correctly is a worthy achievement. The perfect finishing touch are the period Torque Thrust wheels wearing reproduction Goodyear Wide Tread GT bias-ply tires.
The gorgeous code 729 Ivory Houndstooth interior is also correct for this particular Camaro, showing up as code 729 on the cowl tag. It's all new in there, including the door panels, black carpets, and headliner, and the black and white combination will never go out of style. Yenko emblems on the headrests are done just the way Yenko did them back in the day, as simple decals, and this car is also fitted with a Stewart-Warner column-mounted tach and auxiliary gauges under the dash, which were standard on the Yenkos. There's no console, as most Yenko buyers preferred light weight over style, and the lovely rosewood steering wheel is the perfect '60s touch. In the trunk, there's a complete space-saver spare assembly with inflator bottle, a correct jack, and a reproduction mat, and absolutely zero signs of rust or repairs.
There's simply nothing like keying up the legendary 427. The sound, the feeling of the idle, and the relentless surge of torque as you power through the gears. With minimal modifications, these were legitimate 12-second cars, and even today's world of 600 horsepower Corvettes, their performance is impressive. Few tribute cars are as well-executed as this one, and it offers a stunning level of correct components. If you're looking for a highly correct big block Camaro that's not too valuable to drive on the street, this is your chance. Call, click, or visit Http://www.RKMotorsCha... today.
