Vehicle Description
Here it is! Beautifully restored and recreated in homage to one of
the most famous Camaro builders of the 1960s - Don Yenko. More than
just a clone, this Yenko was carefully crafted to recreate the
original Yenko as accurately as possible. This car is easily
mistaken for one of the original 427ci Camaros one could acquire
through Yenko Chevrolet in 1969.
Under the hood resides a freshly built, period correct 427 cubic
inch V8 tuned for performance. This car was built as close to
original Yenko specifications as possible, retaining 12:1
compression ratio, correct square-port heads, correct intake, new
850 Holley carburetor, L88 camshaft, recurved conventional point
distributor, etc. As you would expect, this Camaro prefers 105
octane fuel to perform at its best. As close as you can get to an
original Yenko Camaro without a time machine!
Power from the 427 beast is managed via a Muncie M21 4-speed
transmission, and delivered to the ground through the 12 bolt
limited-slip rearend with street friendly final drive gear. All
mechanicals are presented as correctly as feasible. All new brakes,
brake lines, fuel lines, newly rebuilt suspension and steering make
this beauty drive as new.
Outside, the beautiful Hugger Orange base/clear finish is
complemented with the correct Yenko stripes and emblems, just like
it did back in the day.
An immaculate black standard bucket seat interior is fully restored
and presents as new, including correct Yenko badged headrests. A
factory console houses the chrome Hurst 4-speed shifter. In
addition, all new door panels, headliner, carpeting, etc. complete
the new-car feel and appearance.
This beautiful recreation is available today at Art & Speed.
