Vehicle Description
The Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Turbo Z is one of the rarest cars you
will ever find from the storied performance breed. So that's why
it's impressive to find this 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Yenko
Tribute that gives you the right look and a loaded A/C interior,
but won't cost you the same as a house. And with the upgraded V8
power, it also drives like a proper performance-enhanced car,
too.
We love the look of this car. The white paint has the right look
where it is clean, complete, and glossy. But it has the right
attitude of aged-in imperfection that may have some people mistake
this tribute car for a real-deal survivor. Plus, the white makes
for a nice contrast to the blacked-out grille, headlight covers,
and rear panel. And the same high-contrast awareness goes for the
special Yenko decal package in the doors and rear. The special
Yenko chin spoiler, color-matched N90 alloy wheels, power dome
hood, and Z/28 rear spoiler all make for a sporty package. Best of
all, you know you have a great story to tell. Only those in the
know, understand what it takes to get a tribute that looks this
good. But since there were only likely 19 original Turbo Z cars,
many people don't know the whole story. Still, since we all respect
the Yenko name, so there's little doubt there are going to be
plenty of people asking you all about this distinct coupe.
The factory-correct Oyster White and gray interior is quite
complementary to the exterior colors, and so this one has a nice
uniform look inside and out. Nicely-bolstered bucket seats, an
armrest center console, and cruise control make this a nice place
to spend some time. Plus, there are terrific upgrades, like
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo with USB
input so you can do everything from have modern tunes to powering
up your phone. These Camaros are built to be true driver's
machines, and that's why you have the driver-focused dash with
large speedo and tach. Plus, these Z/28s have the special feel of
the corded steering wheel.
Don Yenko and company need a turbocharger to overcome the
regulations of the time, but today we know how to unleash the right
kind of performance in other ways. So while this is believed to be
the original block, there was a big investment around 2008 to
really upgrade the power. This includes an upgraded camshaft,
Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, and
long tube headers that add power while contributing to the thunder
of the dual exhaust. And the TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission was rebuilt by B&M to add stout performance. It
creates the kind of power package that lets this Z-car live up to
its Yenko style. This is also easy to cruse thanks to power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and sway bars front &
rear.
The sale comes complete with the factory buildsheet, owner's
manual, and maintenance records. This is the cool Yenko tribute
that has the power and poise to live up to the legend. Call
