This is a marvelous Yenko recreation with a ZZ427 crate motor at
the heart of a meticulous body off frame professional restoration!
The car also has a practical 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission
which makes cruising a breeze. This is an extremely detailed Yenko
tribute that is documented with a large folder of receipts. You can
get all the aesthetics and abundant horsepower of a real Yenko here
but don't need to spend $500,000!
EXTERIOR: This will stand apart from the others being dressed like
a Yenko, you never see a 1968! This body is absolutely laser
straight and the paint reflects like a mirror! During the
transformation the body was restored and the fenders, rear quarter
panels, wheelhouses, and roof panel were all replaced. The entire
car was stripped down to bare metal then resprayed with a
basecoat/clearcoat finish that is in excellent condition. A Yenko
fiberglass hood with pins and Yenko emblems were added. The SS
stripe is correctly painted on. It has a body colored rear spoiler.
All the glass is brand new. All the trim and weatherstrips were
replaced. It's rolling on a set of grey 15 inch aluminum American
Racing wheels just like what was commonly found on Yenkos, it even
has Yenko center cap decals. They are wearing Cooper Cobra radial
GT sneakers.
INTERIOR: Everything has been totally redone with this interior and
it looks super sharp! The front bucket seats have some extra
bolster for a much more comfortable cruising. The seats have been
reupholstered with black & white houndstooth upholstery giving it a
great look! Down on the floor is excellent carpet with SS
embroidered mats and a complete set of factory seatbelts. Up above
the headliner and visors are in excellent shape. The dash area is
completely restored. The speedometer is a 140 mph like the real
Yenkos have. It also has the optional Tic Tok Tachometer. The
console has the optional factory gauges and staple shifter, the
shift indicator has been updated for the overdrive. A retro stereo
fits in the factory hole. It's also sporting a deluxe wheel. There
are absolutely no disappointments with this interior!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is where it gets really good! A limited
edition GM Performance crate ZZ-427 engine lurks under the hood of
this beast! It goes well above original Yenko specs and produces
480 horsepower/490 ft lb of torque and features four bolt main
caps, a completely forged rotating assembly, hydraulic roller
camshaft and more. On top it has aluminum heads, and intake, dual
feed Holley carb, high energy ignition, stainless headers and it's
dressed in a set of cast aluminum valve covers. A four-core
radiator, correct shroud and reproduction hoses and clamps keeps it
running cool. Reproduction spring clamp battery cables on the
battery. It features power steering and brakes. All the components
look fresh and proper, squirters are hooked up. The underside of
the fiberglass hood, fender wells, and firewall have all been
painted neatly in satin black. Detailed with factory ink stamps on
firewall. This classic has got what it takes to perform as good as
it looks!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It's very neat and tidy! The underside of the
lid and jambs are painted just as slick as the car. Reproduction
stickers were added and the weatherstrip was replaced. The trunk
pan metal is solid and has neatly been painted in a factory style
spatter finish.
UNDERSIDE: Thanks to a frame off restoration this car looks good
from any angle including its bottom side! All the steering
components have been replaced and look fresh with a new center
link, tie rod ends, bushings, and hardware etc. The front subframe
was replaced and new big block coil springs with Bilstein shocks
were installed; the front suspension also has new bushings and
hardware. Additionally, it has fresh looking ball joints and an
upgraded bigger/fatter front sway bar. The rear has new leaf
springs with Bilstein shocks installed to improve ride quality. The
front power disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors are a much
appreciated upgrade. The rear has fresh looking drum brakes and the
emergency brake is hooked up. The dual exhaust system has been
highly upgraded with stainless steel long tube headers leading into
a stainless steel cross pipe that goes back to the Pypes mufflers.
From there the exhaust flows through standard tubing that exits
behind the rear wheels. The gas tank is brand new with fresh lines
and straps also. Looking up at the crate ZZ427 motor everything
looks fresh and has a high torque starter. It has been upgraded
with a700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive from
Edgars Transmission that was rebuilt and race prepped with a custom
2400 RPM stall lockup torque converter and a high volume pan. It
also has an upgraded tubular crossmember with a new mount. The
Moser 12 bolt positraction rear end with 3.55 posi gearing looks
fresh with new hardware. The frame and floors look solid with
neatly applied black paint.

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
