Man I hope that was not a real yenko, Seems like such a waste of a rare car when any normal first gen camaro would have worked. but hey to each his own.
If this is a real Yenko, I would restore it back to it's original factory state. If it's a remake of a Yenko, then this is the most badass car I have ever seen. End of story.
we have about 54k in the car, parts only. The paint and finish body work cost right 18K, chrome shop bill was over 5000. The motor had some one off parts, we work with real good vendors who understand what you're trying to accomplish, for example; the crank came from Sonny Bryant, it is a billet BBC main, Hemi rods, BBC snout, alcohol 8 bolt flange, 4.125 stroke, custom balanced, 2750 bucks, and it goes on...the blower was 8500...the motor,trans, ignition, fuel system @ 60K.
@btptotalperformance Nice! How do you guys afford this? Sponsors or just hard work and shared project car between a 4-6 man team? Do you all get to drive it once in a while or is it strictly business? How often do you replace stuff?..like every 4th run or every run or? (tia.)
@ vegas272007....ask any REAL racer what would they rather have ,a 6.945 second car or a 7 second car,they would ALL say the 6.945.you don't even know the time and money it takes to make your car just a LITTLE fatster.
@thevettedude66 notice the "s" on your number, i agree "sixes" are "sixes" but i dont agree that "six" is the same as "sixes". Completely different. either way, the car is badass
First off if it was me i would tear all that racing crap off. Second Take the engine out Sell it. Thrid Buy a 427 (stock). do a full restoration on it to make look like what a real Yenko should
yeah. why would anybody do that to a rare classic like that? i say, keep it real. its not worth anything now. i have a 70 cuda and its all stock. i would never chop it up like that.
im lookin at a 69 SS i found not to far from my house i might get for $15k and it will stay orginal like they are suposed to be if i decide to get it. it has a little rust i would have to repair though
i imagine its been sitting awhile. once its done, i bet it will be a sweet ride. ive had mine since i was 16. i`m 45 now. ive put over $30,000 into it. it was a basket case when i got it. its all original parts. its a 440.
not really i can email you a pic of it but one thing that is confuing about it is the torque converter and fly wheel is exposed and i know about engines on classics just not trannys but its just the crappy paint job it has it looks like a 12 year old painted it so ill probly sand it all down t the rust taken care of re-chrome the bumpers and clean the engine and it will be show ready the interior is emactulate
the fly wheel should have a cover. i think the torque converter should too. try an auto wrecker for those parts. i know that parts for classics are getting hard to find.
i thought it was suposed to have a bell houseing but now i know for sure id give $13000 now for it and no more with all the rust, and parts i would need to find (all will be original if i can help it) but we will see its at a car lot and you know how car lots are about priceing classic cars. but ill search around for a bell housing before i get it to price check but still a 1969 ss with 350 will tear up mustangs like no tomorrow lol
lol bell housing cover same thing lol but yea they do look bad ass i wish i could find a yenko shell or copo shell id give 20k just for the shell due to the value if its fully restored
"yenkos" had iron blocks,aluminium heads.COPOs (ZL1) had all aluminum engine?69,1969 ZL1 vettes were copo and i think about 90 something camaros,had the ZL1 option?yenko=dealer,COPO=factory. i think.
67,68 yenko camaros started life as SS396 cars and got L72 425 hp 427 motors installed @ yenko. in '69 Don Yenko figured out that he could order them through COPO and got a specific package with the 425hp 427 iron motor. They were hundreds built for yenko and other dealers, Berger, Gibb, Baldwin, Nickey, etc. Fred Gibb Chevrolet figured out the ZL1 all aluminum motor in the camaro, 69 were built, the ZL1 is actually an all aluminum version of the L88 430hp race motor. TWO ZL1 vettes were built
Wouldn't you love to go back in time and buy a Baldwin-Motion Camaro? I wounder what they would be worth today since I don't think any originals exist.
nothing really just bages motor small difernces its kike the mustang u got the shelby and you got the cobra and u got stock just like chevy has yenko and ss there just differnt styles and wat not
are you kidding me? you have no idea what youre talking about. yenko put 427s in his dealer modified cars. the only way you could get a 427 through chevy was through the COPO. that is SO MUCH MORE then just 'badges and small differences' stick with your puny little muskrat motors and leave the real iron to the real men, fordboi.
yea well just like the gt500 has a 429 same car just differnt shit and yea u kep ur iron i roll in a alumin body 68 falcon wait a 409 modifed base mtor she runs pretty good
why would i claim to drive a 68 falcon i mean if i was gonna lie id tell ya i got a twin turbo dodge viper or some shit not a drag car i buld in our barn lol
fordboy is a wannabe idiot!! bullshit he has a 68 falcon with a 409, which is a big block chevy motor and you would have to do some serious mods to make it fit in a little ford piece of shit. he doesnt know fuck all. if he was a true car guy, he would know that yenko and copo put in big motors and mods for straight line racing. BLOW ME FORDGIRL!! HAHAHAHAAA. YOUR A JOKE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!
all I know is that..and correct me if I am wrong on this, Yenko only works with Chevrolet's and takes the best of them, and makes them the baddest of asses? lol
I love your Yenko...I am a huge Yenko fan and I am asking the help of all other Yenko fans....
HELP A BROTHA OUT-VEGAS OR BUST! -Round 3 of 5
Can everyone please register at this site to help my brother win this bracket round. He is in a restoration contest (5 round bracket voting) for a car he restored. It's the blue 1968 Yenko Camaro that took him 3 years to finish. It would mean a lot for us if you could sign up and vote!
yes u tard its street legal as long as the lights all work, I see cars like this cruising around town all the time and this is cali we got the most strict emissions around but pre 75 cars can run whatever the fuck they like out here. So in short yes it is. Not exactly good on gas or anything but definitely a legal ride in the streets.
dont no about america if this is in america but in england street legal class actuall have to change there tyres then go to a petrol station and be seen too fill up and drive back
If you read the comments previous, you will see that we used a steel body with a good vin and serial number ( it was front hit hard enough to buckle the floor!) ALL the yenko components, badges, decals & such are either NOS or correct reproduction and placed as original. We restore musclecars for a living and thought it was a nice tribute to be as correct as possible. Thanks for checking out the video
Thanks for showing the E.T. and speed on the top end timing boards. So many videos talk about how fast the cars are but cut without showing the time and speed. Nice ride !!! I agree if this was actually a Yenko car there is not much original left to it. I venture to say it is a replica.
Oh, I don't know. GM OE roof, quarters, taillight valance, taillight housings, trunk lid, rear bumper & brackets, rockers all from real camaro that took front hit. The trim tag and vin plate are on the firewall. So at least it started life as a camaro. As far as the Yenko part goes, believe it or not, all the trim pieces and emblems including the yenko stripes ARE N.O.S. by way of Gene Schmidt, a COPO restorer of note. So its not real, most on the market today aren't either! BUT, I like it
sorry dude, I didn't mean to come off as an arse. Just letting you know about the effort my brother and I put into it, it actually belongs to both of us. thank you for the compliment. PS I checked out your rides.....niiicee
