This is probably one of the rarest Yenko Camaro’s built. This
car was purchased from Yenko Chevrolet on February 19th by a
gentleman named Charles Wine, one of Don Yenko’s friends. The
decided to build the car for themselves to go racing. Don Yenko
installed all his remaining parts from his “Stormer” program that
he started in 1967. This car was built to compete with all the big
block at the track. They succeeded. The quarter mile times were in
the low 12 second range where all the big block cars were running.
After racing for a year, this fully documented Yenko Z28 Camaro was
sold through Yenko Chevrolet to John Shriver.
The car retains all the original Yenko sales documents including
the original Protect-O- Plate and counter receipt from Yenko
Chevrolet for the performance upgrades. Also, there is a signed
affidavit from the owner which states that this is a documented,
original 17,000 mile car. The original time slips from Atco and
Pittsburg race tracks and the original cam card from Yenko
Chevrolet come with the car.
This Camaro is a factory Z28 X77 car that retains all its original
components. It is a factory Cortez Silver with black rally stripes
car. Ordered with radio delete, no console, 12 bolt rear with 3.73
posi, Muncie M22 four speed transmission, Hurst shifter, DZ302
engine and all the original parts that Yenko installed in 1969.
Yenko upgrades include: Remote gauges including signature tach from
Yenko, high performance Mallory ignition system, Yenko line lock
system, upgraded Holley carburetor, light weight endura front
bumper, Yenko traction bars and the original Atlas/Cragar magnesium
wheels. Other signature items include under hood light which turns
on from engine compartment in order to work on it at night at the
race track and a remote crank button in the engine compartment to
adjust the timing.
This is a one of a kind car and a rare opportunity to own a very
significant piece of the Yenko history.
