1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Tribute

Description

Stuffing a big block into just about anything is guaranteed to make for an entertaining ride. When it's a 1969 Camaro and you dress it up like an all-conquering Yenko, then you've really got something special. Built with a professional eye and attention to detail, this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro gives a nod to one of the most potent muscle cars of all time.

We don't have room to go into the Don Yenko story; suffice to say his creations are some of the most treasured of all '60s performance machines. Without about a half-million dollars to spare, you've probably decided that you'll never have one. Well, here's your chance to pick up a beautifully finished Camaro that will still run with some seriously fast hardware. You won't sneak around, thanks to the bright orange paint job and white Yenko graphics, but you can rest assured that every eye will be on you as you roll into the local cruise night parking lot. The paint shows crisp reflections and looks like it's just out of the spray booth. With a cowl induction hood and a ducktail spoiler, it looks the part, far more importantly, it can back it up.

That bright white vinyl interior complements the exterior quite well, and everything is so new that you're going to think twice about climbing in without first brushing yourself off because it's ultra clean. Fresh seat covers and replacement door panels replicate the factory stuff to complete the look. Clean black carpets and a straight dash create a great contrast in the cabin, with wood appliqué highlighting the center console. Hurst supplied the shifter for the 4-speed, complete with white shifter knob (AKA cue ball), and there is an AM/FM/cassette player in the dash. Although clearly built for speed, this F-body isn't without some creature comforts. Power front-disc brakes help this monster stop on a dime, power steering make maneuverability a cinch, and if the power windows don't get a breeze to you fast enough, the all-new Vintage Air R-134a system surely will when it's blowing cold out of the dash.

The real reason you want this Camaro is what's under the hood: a giant, tire-shredding 454 cubic inch V8 that looks absolutely incredible sitting in the black engine bay. It wears Chevy Orange, chrome, and finned valve covers like few other power plants can. A Demon carburetor sends air and fuel through a polished intake manifold, and the spent gasses are sent through after-market headers and a dual exhaust system for a down right aggressive sound. A solid 4-speed manual transmission is mated to that big block and it sends power to a 10 bolt rear end. Power steering and power brakes handle turning and stopping duties, while Torque Thrust wheels complete the Yenko look and are wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A rubber measuring 215/65/15 up front and 235/60/15 out back.

Someone has already invested heavily in this car's build, it would be impossible to duplicate, this caliber of craftsmanship, for the asking price. Finding a Camaro this nice for the asking price is a hard feat in itself, finding one with killer Yenko looks is even harder. Call today!
