There are a few names in the lore of GM muscle cars that instantly
inspire fantastical visions of roasting tires, roaring, guttural
exhaust notes, and big brutish V-8s. There was one or two that just
popped into your head, and if one of those words wasn't 'Yenko,' it
should have been. One look at this beautiful 1969 Chevrolet Camaro
Yenko ZL1 Tribute makes it easy to see why it has inspired so many
enthusiasts over the years. With its vibrant Daytona Yellow
respray, Yenko fender decals, 15-inch wheels complete with Yenko
center caps shod in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, this car is far
more ready for today's driver than the original car ever was.
Inside, we find a clean black vinyl interior. Dual cupholders
separate a pair of bucket seats, while a three-spoke,
power-assisted wheel allows a clear view of the column-mounted
10,000-rpm tachometer. Just beyond that sits a 140-mph speedometer,
while a trio of auxiliary gauges sit below the dashboard just ahead
of the white cueball shifter. Unlike the original Yenkos, this
Tribute comes with air conditioning and a Bluetooth-enabled
AM/FM/AUX head unit, providing far more soundtrack options than the
original car.
Pop the hood on this beast, and you'll be treated to a 427
cubic-inch V-8 engine. Sporting an aluminum block, lightweight
aluminum Winters heads, a single Holley four barrel carburetor
mounted to an aluminum Winters intake manifold, shorty headers, and
a true dual exhaust capped off with Hooker Super Comp Aero
chambered mufflers, this ZL-1 spec big block is a perfect replica
of one of the most feared motors from the Golden Age. That power
gets channeled through a four-speed manual transmission, before
being sent out to a 3.31-geared 12-bolt rear end.
