1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Tribute

This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Tribute underwent a professional restoration within the past 15k miles and is powered by a 427ci V8 with 990 rectangular port heads and 4-bolt main block mated to a Richmond 5-speed long-shift manual transmission with original Hurst shifter. Performance upgrades include solid lifters, forged pistons, steel crank, Demon 750 cfm carburetor, aluminum four-core radiator, 11" Centerforce clutch, 12-bolt rear end with 3:31 gears, power steering, and power brakes. The car is finished in Daytona Yellow with period graphics over reproduction black vinyl and rides on a dropped and modified suspension. This Camaro is offered by the selling dealer with build documentation and a clear Florida title.

The Daytona Yellow paint and black graphics were applied to the body and new old stock GM cowl hood, fenders, header panel, valence panel, and California-sourced doors by Carlson's Auto Body in South Beloit, Illinois. The bumpers and trim are reproduction items per the seller, and the trim tag shows "X44," the code most often used for a Yenko or COPO build.

The car rolls on new 17" U.S. Mags "Gambler" wheels are wrapped in new BFGoodrich G-Force tires, and lighting is provided by HID headlamps with LED daytime running lights.

Interior refinement comes in the form of reproduction black upholstery with 3-point seat belts up front, a new console with replacement gauges, and a wood grain steering wheel. According to the selling dealer, while the Hurst shifter is original to the car, the front floor and trunk floor center sections have been replaced.

Additional interior amenities include a tilt wheel and modern AM/FM radio located in the glove box. This was a radio delete car from the factory per the seller. The current odometer reading shows just over 15k miles, with true chassis mileage unknown.

Power is provided by a balanced 427ci V8 with 990 rectangular, lightly-ported heads and polished intake runners, solid lifters, TRW 10.5:1 forged pistons, a 6223 steel crank, 3/8" GM dimple rods, and a 4-bolt main block. Other upgrades include an MSD distributor, Demon 750 cfm carburetor, Edelbrock air gap intake, high-volume oil pump, and an aluminum 4-core radiator. Power is sent to the rear wheels by way of a Richmond 5 speed long-shift manual with a 621 bell housing, Centerforce 11" clutch, and a 12-bolt rear end with 3.31:1 gears.

Power steering is fitted, as are power brakes with discs in the front and drums in the rear. Handling and stability upgrades include Hotchkis 2" drop front coil springs and 1-1/2" drop rear leaves, tubular control arms, front and rear sway bars, frame connectors, and Calvert Racing CalTracs traction bars. All new bushings, tie rods, ball joints, etc. have also been added.
