INTRODUCTION: Genuine Yenko thrills for a fraction of the cost!
Frame off restored, and they got all the details right, from the
stripes and spoilers to an authentic 427 engine from 1969. Only
difference from the original is the 5 speed manual transmission,
which is a much appreciated upgrade. And of course the striking
colors speak for themselves. This is the one you've been waiting
for!
EXTERIOR: Isn't it pretty? It was repainted in it's factory correct
LeMans blue paint that was applied beautifully, then polished to a
smooth and reflective finish. The white striping on the hood and
side really pop nicely and replicate the signature Yenko aesthetic.
Front and rear spoilers greatly enhanced the car's profile. The
steel cowl induction hood is lined up very nicely as are the rest
of the body panels. The doors open easily and close with minimal
effort. 427 and Yenko emblems adorn the hood fenders and tile
panel. It's equipped with dual side view mirrors. Many pieces of
bright work have been replaced and have a nice shiny finish. The
front windshield and rear window were both replaced, just like the
rubber seals and strips were. It's rolling on a set of 15" American
racing Torque Thrust wheels with a gray finish just like many of
the Yenkos came with. The car now has a new set of Cooper
tires.
INTERIOR: The colors matter! This is a factory correct Ivory
colored interior per the cowl tag. You'll first notice the door
jams are painted nice and glossy with new weatherstrips too. It has
all new upholstery on the seats, door panels, armrests, and
headliner. The dash is an authentic reproduction with a fresh pad,
bezels and trim panels. It does have the really cool center mounted
fuel gauge because it's equipped with a tachometer as well. The
radio and climate controls all look stock and in great condition. A
triple gauge was mounted under the dash for practical purposes.
Even the knob matches on the lighter and the glove box liner was
replaced. There is sound deadener under the fresh carpeting and the
kick panels were replaced. An upgraded Hurst 5 speed manual shifter
sits proudly between the freshly cushioned bucket seats. Both front
seats also have Yenko logos on the headrest plus it has seatbelts
front and back. The rear shelf was replaced and the dome light also
works.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Genuine 427 from 1969! The builder really put
extra effort into authenticity under the hood. It's complete with
authentic big rectangular port GM aluminum heads, GM aluminum
intake manifold, correct dual feed Holley carburetor that has an
upgraded electronic choke. The Yenko finned aluminum valve covers
and functioning single snorkel air cleaner really round off the
unmistakably authentic look. It even has the correct curved neck
radiator and GM stamped hoses too. The horns and squirters are
hooked up. The brake master cylinder and power booster have been
replaced. Under the hood is nicely painted satin black and complete
with insulation. The firewall and fenderwells have both been neatly
painted.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and inside the jamb both
have fresh body colored paint that is polished nice and shiny. The
weatherstrip was replaced and it's complete with reproduction jack
stickers. Inside is all clean rust free steel with a nicely applied
spatter finish paint.
UNDERSIDE: You can see the benefits of a body off frame
restoration. The entire underside is highly detailed, showcasing
the care and quality of the build. The floors are spotless metal,
adding to the impressive presentation and overall structural
integrity of the car. The suspension and steering systems have been
completely rebuilt, giving the car a fresh, tight feel throughout.
The brake system has also been thoroughly restored and refreshed
with replaced components, new brake lines and e-brake assembly. It
features front disc brakes with rear drum brakes for dependable
stopping power. The exhaust is a great sounding stainless setup
from Pypes, complete with an X-pipe for improved flow and a deep
muscle car tone. The fuel system has been replaced as well,
including the fuel tank. Looking up at the engine, it is clean and
properly detailed in Chevy Orange with factory style starter and
components. It was recently upgraded with a new Tremec 5-speed
manual trans, along with a new clutch and driveshaft. Power is
transferred to a strong 12-bolt rear end fitted with 3.73 Posi
gears, making this Camaro both highway friendly and ready to
perform!
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car
we sell.
CONCLUSION: The only thing better than a 1969 Camaro is a 1969
Yenko Camaro! Can you already hear that 427 roaring as you stroke
it through the gears?
