1969 Chevrolet Camaro

The most famous of Camaro the "YENKO." Just the mention of the name gives images of tire shredding performance!

A full nut and bolt restoration. The perfect blend of race-bred performance and street-car manners. This may be a tribute but in its soul it's the real deal. "The classic lines of the '69 Camaro and cutting-edge technology of a new GM ZZ 427/480-HP/490 lb-ft to the ground makes the Yenko proud."

Double-throw-down L88 427 Chevy Big Block power with four-bolt main caps, hydraulic roller camshaft, aluminum oval-port cylinder heads with 2.19/1.88-inch valves make it friendly on pump-gas 10.1:1 compression ratio. Richmond Super Street 5-Speed transmission deliver the ultimate blend of performance and economy. The use of low gear ratio for the first four gears provides dramatic acceleration, while a low fifth gear provides a smooth and economical overdrive for the highway. First Gear Ratio 2.89, Second Gear Ratio 1.85, Third Gear Ratio 1.31, Fourth Gear Ratio 1.00, Fifth Gear Ratio .77. Fully synchronized for smooth shifting. GM 12-bolt Posi Traction Differential gets the job done.

The '69 focuses on handling with cutting-edge Global West fine-tuned suspension systems that include upper and lower Tubular Control Arms, big block front springs, and rear linear rate springs. Add to cornering stability at speed massive front and rear sway bars. Power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes are perfect on that winding mountain road!

The skilled talent shows in Cortez Silver and Yenko famed graphics. The many layers of clear make the '69 look wet. The black graphics are smooth to the touch. It has been restored to original authentic appearance but does have an aftermarket steering wheel and the shifter assembly has been changed. That said, the old parts do come with it. The superb quality of the interior has the perfect blend of form and function that only the '69 Camaro can give. Correct AC coded gauges and heater controls.

This is as close to a full-fledged Yenko as you're going to find. Dedication to the details has given rise to the Premier Yenko tribute.
