Vehicle Description
6554 2020 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko/SC Stage 1 Hardtop
Yenko history dates back to 1929, the year Frank Yenko opened a
dealership for selling Durant cars. After the Durant company ended
in 1932, Yenko opened a Chevrolet dealership in Pennsylvania in
Bentleyville in 1934. When Camaros, classifiable as a "pony car",
became available in 1967, Frank's son, Don transferred Chevrolet's
427ci 425hp L72 engine, (along with other high-performance parts),
into some Camaros, creating the Yenko Camaro. The 1967 & 1968 427
Camaros were so popular that, in 1969, Yenko used Chevrolet's
Central Office Production Order, (COPO), system to have L72 engines
installed into Chevrolet Camaros and Chevelles. The high
performance and limited production of all Yenko modified cars makes
them valuable and prized to collectors.
For consignment, a 2020 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko/SC Stage I hardtop,
produced in limited numbers by Specialty Vehicles Engineering and
producing 1,000 horsepower. This is car #04 of 25 Stage 1 examples
built and was collectible on day one. It has a title verified
11,089 actual miles.
Exterior
With ten factory colors originally available on the 25 Stage I
Yenkos, there can't be many in Rally Green Metallic out there.
Silver Yenko stripes adorn the hood scoop and shoulder line of the
car and with nine stripe options available, the combination of
green and silver is rare indeed. There's no shortage of Yenko
recognition and it starts with the Y-SC decal on the nose of the
carbon fiber hood, Yenko written on the side, and Yenko badge out
back, on the fenders, and on the grille. Clear taillights and
massive quad exhaust tips are the view you'll get if you challenge
this green giant, and broad shoulders over wide tires will quickly
disappear in front of you. 20-inch aluminum alloy 5-spoke wheels
carry 30-series Bridgestone tires with a mid late 2020
manufacturing date and through the spokes, Yenko badged red
calipers shine through. Some minor scuffs, scratches, chin scrapes,
and a bubble in the paint are the only imperfections we note on the
exterior.
Interior
Aside from the plethora of badging which starts at the door sill
plate, it's standard Camaro SS inside including the wonderfully
contoured door panel with gray leather inside of injection molded
black plastic, black leather padding, and an integrated storage
bin. Medium Ash Gray leather sport bucket seats occupy the front
and include SYC on the headrests, another holdover from classic
Yenko cars. The rear 2+2 looks just as supportive and you'll want
your passengers to stay planted on top of 1,000 horsepower. A Yenko
badge is on the thick leather wrapped steering wheel and analog
tach and speed gauge flank a row of digital displays of operational
functions and temperature gauges along with an information screen.
The center stack is topped by a large screen that includes the GPS
display and houses an AM/FM/CD radio with XM and Bluetooth
capability. A numbered Yenko plate is on the passenger side dash
and the shifter is cleanly integrated into the center console
wearing a clean leather boot. Gray carpet lines the floor and a
molded, cloth covered gray headliner is overhead. The trunk is
finished with molded panels and gray carpet. The entire interior is
in like new condition with no apparent blemishes to note.
Drivetrain
SLE works their magic on a 416ci 6.8 liter LT1 V8 with an aluminum
block, a 4340 forged crank, forged H-beam rods, forged 2618 pistons
with squirters, CNC ported LT4 heads, and a custom grind cam. The
fuel injection system is upgraded with LT4 injectors and an
upgraded OEM direct injection pump. A custom, high output
supercharger is spun with a 10-rib belt drive system forcing air
into a throttle body that's been enlarged by 10%. Custom stainless
steel headers begin the exhaust process and power disc brakes that
include 6 piston front calipers and 4 piston rear calipers are
employed to rein in 1,000 horses. A 10L80E 10-speed automatic
transmission sends the herd to the back wheels where 3.27 gears
await in a limited slip differential.
Undercarriage
Showing about 11,000 miles worth of use, the underside is very
clean and the only surface rust being on that rear differential.
The stainless dual exhaust system moves through high flow catalytic
converters and a pair of Stainless Works mufflers before exiting
under the valance. The exhaust and driveshaft occupy a tunnel that
is flanked by clean belly pans that assuredly improve aerodynamics
at speed. No unwanted fluids or grease build up are seen
anywhere.
Drive-Ability
What feels like a normal Camaro SS on the inside suddenly changes
personality when the engine comes to life and echoes through the
hills of Morgantown. This bellowing beast has obvious power
underfoot but performs tamely at street speeds despite the exhaust
tone. Handling, braking, and of course, acceleration is up there
with race car status and we weren't about to test the traction
limits of the rear tires, but we can say that this car will turn
the tires with ease even with the driver assists activated. As a
newer car with 11,000 miles, all of the functions performed as
expected and we carefully herded all 1,000 horses back to the
stable. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions
were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee
these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
There's not much subtlety about this car. If you don't get the hint
from the exterior styling and raucous exhaust, surely the numerous
1000 horsepower emblems on the car will impress you. SLE, formerly
SLP, has had some big hits in past years, but this might be their
crowning achievement. Talk about beast mode! Here is a rare
opportunity to own a modern day Yenko Camaro.
