Introduction: Beauty and a beast! This '68 Yenko Camaro tribute received a stunning frame off restoration. You don't see a 68 Yenko, it stands apart from the others. A new ZZ502 Crate engine elevates it to the next level. Additionally custom TMI buckets, custom gauges and a top quality paint job provide unprecedented style and comfort. Fresh with only 1,230 miles since completion. We acquired this from a fussy collector. I look forward to his phone call with something for sale! Any angle you look at her from, she is pretty and powerful and ready to hit the streets!

EXTERIOR: Exceptional body and paint work! The Cortez Silver paint has just the right amount of flake to make it shimmer and is laid out perfectly. It's seriously polished like a piece of glass, so smooth and slick. The black stripe is properly done to factory dimensions. Looking down the side of the arrow straight body is satisfying thanks to the smooth contours and crisp lines. The panels are very nicely aligned with gaps that are well above average. The spoilers and hood scoop really enhance the profile. Everything up front looks spotless, it even has correct T3 headlights. Yenko badges pay homage to the original. The windshield and rear window are new. The rubber seals and fuzzy strips were even replaced. The bumpers and remaining trim pieces all have a glorious shine. It's equipped with dual side mirrors and the door ledge moldings too. It has the ideal stance and is rolling on 15" Rally II Wheels which is what Yenko used in 1968. They even have Yenko center caps and new polished rings. They are wrapped in a set of reproduction BFG radial redline tires.

INTERIOR: Completely refinished top to bottom using mostly brand new parts! It is upgraded with digital/analog gauges from Dakota Digital and reclining sport buckets by TMI. The seats are very comfortable and trimmed like the original with modern touches. The headliner, dash pad, steering column, steering wheel, door panels, handles, levers, visors, mirror, gauge bezel, center console, shifter, glove box liner, rear shelf and carpeting are all new. It also has a new retro looking stereo that fits in the factory hole and a Kicker 4x10 dash speaker plus 6x9s in the back.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: GM Crate ZZ502 making 502hp and 580 lbs of torque! Enjoy all that brute power knowing it has the ultimate in reliability. We have the paperwork on this engine, it was purchased new 11-23 and only 1,230 miles have been put on it. It comes with aluminum heads and intake and an HEI ignition. A new dual feed Holley carb and a set of coated Doug's headers were installed. It features a few upgrades including hydroboost power steering and a power brake system. It also has a new radiator and clutch fan. Upgraded DSE wiper system. A Delco battery topper and reproduction spring clamp cables add a nice vintage look. The underside of the fiberglass hood, fenderwells and firewall are all neatly painted satin black.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are nicely painted like the exterior. It has reproduction stickers and the weatherstrip was replaced. Inside is all rust free and solid metal with a coating of black paint and a new rubber mat. It also has a new tire and painted rim for a spare tire and the jack assembly.

UNDERSIDE: Very nice! The steering was rebuilt and works great. Springs and shocks were replaced up front plus it has a swaybar. The leaf springs out back also look fresh and have new hardware too. The brakes have been completely rebuilt and even the emergency brake is hooked up, they are disc upfront. Long tube headers and a stainless Flowmaster exhaust system have this monster sounding mean. The gas tank and all the lines were replaced. Looking up at the motor it has a Milodon extra capacity oil pan. The flywheel cover, trans pan and rear end cover are a matched set; a very cool looking finned aluminum painted black with polished find. The Turbo 400 automatic trans was serviced, a new torque converter was installed. It also has a 12 bolt rear end with new 3.42 posi gears. The floors are solid and rust free with neatly applied black paint.

SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this car and we replaced the center console, shifter and trim rings on the wheels. We also lubed the left rear window, adjusted the exhaust and balanced the wheels.

This killer machine with a raging 502 V8 has got what it takes to be the boss! The looks are killer too. If you're in the market for a Camaro that was built to be driven without regret, buying one of fussy Joe's cars is what you want. This one ticks all the boxes!
