Vehicle Description
This 1967 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro 427/450 began as one of 1,138 L78
396/375hp cars built equipped with a Muncie M21 close-ratio 4-speed
manual transmission. It is finished in Code EE Deepwater Blue Poly
paint with Code 760-Z black standard bucket seats. Options include
an A02 tinted windshield, G80 posi-traction rear axle with 3.73
ratio, J52 front disc brakes, wood-grain plastic steering wheel,
U63 AM radio and Z23 Special Interior Group. It was upgraded to a
Super Camaro 450 standard for $677.27, including replacement of the
396ci short-block for the L72 427ci unit, metallic brakes,
heavy-duty clutch and pressure plate, high-capacity cooling system
and suspension upgrades. Other items included a Stewart-Warner
tachometer and instrument package, a fiberglass hood, hood pins and
added 427 emblems. Further Yenko options included Traction Maser
traction bars, tuned headers, scattershield and special spark-plug
wires. According to a report by Camaro expert Jerry MacNeish dated
August 31, 2021, this car was completed at Yenko Chevrolet on July
18, 1967, and was one of five shipped on July 27, 1967, to Jay
Kline Chevrolet in Minneapolis. The car was verified by Yenko
expert Vince Emme and documented as one of 54 original 1967 Yenko
Super Camaros in his records. Listed in the Yenko Supercar
Registry, YS-725 continues to benefit from an older
photo-documented restoration and, according to MacNeish, retains
the original VIN plate and hidden VIN cowl stamping. The vehicle is
equipped with a non-OEM Trim Tag. Documents include the detailed
MacNeish report, COPO Connection and Camaro Hi-Performance LLC
Certificates of Authenticity, copies of the Yenko conversion and
dealer invoices, a copy of the original shipping record, an NCRS
Shipping Data report and a letter from the original owner.
Additionally, original Yenko mechanic Warren Dernoshek inspected
and affirmed this Yenko's authenticity.
