Vehicle Description
Numbers-matching big block power, four-on-the-floor, and a
terrific-looking package that pays tribute to some of the meanest
Chevys around - it all comes together on this 1969 Chevrolet
Chevelle SS Yenko Tribute. So if you want a true muscle car with
added speed and style, read on...
This was born a silver coupe, which is always nice, but when paying
tribute to one of the boldest hardtops around, it's best to go with
a bold red. And the gloss this one gives off makes sure it gets
noticed. So it looks right for its upgrade to Yenko status. These
cars always look terrific thanks to the stripe package on the hood
that makes this coupe look like it's always moving forward. And the
full-length Yenko S/C side stripes add emphasis to where the power
meets the pavement in the rear. Straight body lines and bright
chrome bumpers all make for a quality-looking Chevelle. It really
is a solidly detailed package. You see it everywhere from the
re-plated door handles to the way the black vinyl roof coordinates
with the stripes for an almost two-tone style presentation. And
those competition-style Torq Thrust wheels even fit the
period-correct style, especially with the classic-style Goodyear
Polyglas tires.
The black accents of the exterior get you ready for the full black
interior. Everything looks clean, correct, and well-maintained. So
it's easy to share this hardtop with family and friends. This is
quite authentic in the details, like the button-top seatback and
Delco AM radio that's there for display. The only modern piece
you'll recognize is a cup holder center console, and purists will
be happy to know it's removable. And this is an especially
well-done driver's package. The classic Chevy sports steering wheel
has a Yenko horn button, and it's mounted on a tilt column. The
full gauge package with tach is supplemented by vintage-style
Stewart Warner green line readouts under the dash. And the Hurst
shifter gives you a firm grip on the four-speed.
The tidy engine bay knows how to put this V8 on display. The motor
has a terrific Yenko style with the Yenko finned valve covers and
classic decals. But there's something more going on with this
motor. The callouts say 427, but this is really a 396 cubic-inch
V8. It's also the numbers-matching big block. So you might even be
able to do some digging to confirm if this Yenko tribute is also a
real Super Sport. It's also a well-done power package with a Holley
four-barrel carburetor w/electric choke, MSD ignition, and a large
set of dual exhaust pipes for a nice rumble. The motor fires up
eagerly, idles nicely, and shifts smoothly. As you look underneath,
you have the kind of clean style that gives you confidence out on
the road. Plus, the 12-bolt rear end, boxed trailing arms, and rear
sway bar know how to get the power to the pavement. There's also
power steering, power brakes, and front discs for a solid
all-around driver.
This is a strong-running big block Yenko tribute with some serious
style. So if you love power and poise, don't miss this Chevelle.
