Olympic Gold 1969 Yenko Camaro 427 Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode

Olympic Gold 1969 Yenko Camaro 427 Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #165
Yenko Camaros are special cars indeed. This week, we're featuring a beautifully restored 1969 Yenko Camaro, complete with the correct 450 horsepower 427, 4-speed Muncie transmission, and all the other elements that make a Yenko a Yenko. This car is also one of only 10 Yenko Camaros painted in Olympic Gold, and one of only 2 with white stripes. Camaros might be common, but not this one!

Great video

[@TheFokker03]

Indeed,Yenko Super Cars were a breed apart.Using the standard F-car Fisher body,(also used by Pontiac's Firebird) & stuffing a 427 in place of the 396,was what made these cars special.

[@HiTechOilCo]

The 1969 Yenko Camaro's all came stock from the factory assembly lines with the L-72 427, 450 horse engines. That's what made the 1969 Yenko Camaro's special, that performance wise they were stock, right from the Chevy assembly lines. Only a handful were modified by Yenko Chevrolet with headers and traction bars.

The radiator is made up with the Tanks which are on each side of the core, the core for this engine needs extra capacity, consists of 4 Rows, not 4 cores, we've been corrected many times in class and it's embarrassing in front of the class.

[@briancabral9]

Great informative video Kevin, i like many had assumed these were exclusively built by Yenko, and had no idea how involved Chevy was, and how they were licensed to be built by other dealership conversions carrying the Yenko name.

[@HiTechOilCo]

The 1969 Yenko Camaro was not built by Chevrolet dealerships. It was a special order C.O.P.O. car that Don Yenko ordered from Chevrolet. The high performance driveline all came right from Chevrolet and Don Yenko installed his stripe kit on most of them and with a handful of them he installed headers, traction bars and aftermarket mag wheels.

[@TopG800]

These r the rarest 1969 Camaros I know 1969 Camaro ss 396 l89 = 311 ever made 1969 Camaro Yenko 427 = 201 ever made 1969 Camaro ZL1 = 69 ever made

[@TopG800]

The ZL1 is a COPO, all COPOs are expensive and some can be rare but this is the rarest. The Yenko, similar to the COPOs, is also rare, it is not specially a RPO nor COPO, it could only be bought at the Yenko GM dealership. The SS 396 L89 had the fastest top speed of all Camaros and many other sporty muscle cars. It was like the L78, same horsepower, and of course, it was the SS. It had aluminum cylinder heads which made the car more rare because it made the car lighter and handle better. It was the best RPO Camaro you could get in 1968 and 1969. However, it was not available in 1967

[@HiTechOilCo]

199 Yenko Camaro's were sold, as per the Don Yenko registration book for the 1969 Yenko Camaro's.

[@HiTechOilCo]

@@TopG800 - All 1969 Yenko Camaro's were C.O.P.O. cars as they were assembled on the Chevrolet factory assembly lines and had the L-27 427's installed right there at Chevrolet.

@@HiTechOilCo so 1451.496 kg. Not bad, not bad at all.

[@HiTechOilCo]

I strongly believe this is the car I used to own. The only other Olympic Gold car with white stripes has headers installed by Don Yenko Chevrolet and has been in another private collection for many years. I owned the car for many years and I recognize it. A low life thief stole the original steel cowl induction hood and I spent a very long time searching for a N.O.S. replacement hood from Chevrolet until I found the last one remaining in the country. It has an ever so slight bow to it that no one else would ever know about, but it's distinctive and this car's hood is like that. I spotted this in an instant. When I owned the car, it didn't have a California air emissions pump, gauge package, "sYc", emblems on the headrests, or the aftermarket wheels. From my research, the car never had the, "sYc", headrest emblems. It had 15" X 7" rallye wheels with trim rings and center caps. The shifter ball was white, not black. It also had very stout traction bars that were on the car from the second owner I purchased the car from and he had not installed them. They were not the typical auto parts store cheapies, but professional, heavy duty traction bars, (probably Lakewood traction bars). I strongly suspect they were installed by Don Yenko Chevrolet, as the traction bars were one of the options he could install for a customer and they were very effective. The original engine was long gone when I bought the car and it had an L-36, 390 horse 427 with a Rochester 4-barrel replacement installed, (although I know where the original engine is). I spent a lot of time and money gathering the correct parts to build a duplicate L-72, 427, 450 horse engine for the car. I have the VIN committed to memory and if this is the car I used to own for many years, (and I strongly suspect it is), this was a very rare car that has been over-restored and altered from its original state. I hate to see what has become of this car. A crying shame. The car I owned was a survivor car and was very special. I hope the current owner was not sold the car as being original in its original state. I mean, a California emissions pump on a car that was manufactured in Detroit, Michigan and sent to Don Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania? Right. I wonder why the car also doesn't have the super rare factory snow plow option too? lol That sure would add to its value, eh? I'm trying to contact the current owner of this car before I leave this earth and the historical information on this car is lost forever.

[@TopG800]

that is cool (sry I am late to comment)

[@Yann396]

Did you ended up contacting the owner? Would love a follow up!

[@HiTechOilCo]

Who installed the wheels it didn't come with, the headrest emblems and gauge package?

[@artvandelay0073]

The Atlas wheels were available as extra-cost Yenko dealer-installed options to the factory Rallye wheels. Yenko also installed the body stripes (black or white), headrest decals, and 427 badging at his dealership. The only thing that GM did under the COPO was drop the L72 427 into the car coming down the moving assembly line so that Yenko Chevrolet did not have to perform that swap at their dealership for the 1969 models.

[@HiTechOilCo]

[@HiTechOilCo]

When I owned this car, it never had the optional mag wheels, the under-dash gauge package or the, "sYc", emblems on the headrests. Being manufactured in Detroit, Michigan then sent to Don Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, P.A., the car never went anywhere near California and having a California emissions air pump would not be necessary. There were only two 1969 Yenko Camaro's in the Olympic Gold color with white stripes and one of them does have the optional mag wheels from Don Yenko Chevrolet and it's not this car. I owned this Yenko Camaro in this video for many years. It was an original survivor car and would have been worth far more money, (as well as preserving the unique historical heritage of the car), if it had not been over-restored. It breaks my heart to see what was done to my car, destroying its uniqueness. It used to have very heavy duty traction bars on it that looked to be the same age as the rest of the underside of the car. In other words, installed by Don Yenko Chevrolet. Sadly, this video shows they have been removed. This poor car. :(

[@heavenstomurgatroyd7033]

HiTechOilCo - Chevy never made a showroom 427 Camaro. You know how much work it was for yenko to put that engine in there? It's pretty much the same. All I did was transplant some parts..... Besides big block Camaros just blew the tires off anyway unless you had slicks at a track good luck.

[@HiTechOilCo]

@@heavenstomurgatroyd7033 - As correctly stated in this video, the 1969 Yenko Camaro's were all C.O.P.O., Corporate Office Production Orders cars and were special ordered right from Chevrolet with the L-72 427, 450 horse engine installed right on the Chevrolet factory production lines. This is what makes them special, as they are not dealership hot rod cars, but factory production line cars. It was an easy swap, as the 396 big block engine that could be regularly had in the 1969 Camaro, was essentially the same engine, aside from it being 31 cubic inches smaller displacement. Everything else was the same; motor mounts, radiator hoses, bell housing, exhaust, etc., so installing the 427 in place of the 396 was an easy drop in replacement. As for traction, superior performing high end tires make a huge difference.

[@heavenstomurgatroyd7033]

HiTechOilCo - as I remember Yenko, Berger and.... Developed the concept and working with the production office proofed it to Chevy and then the copo option was born. All factory cars were late production. There were no "superior performance" bias ply tires. Radials just came out and were slippery.

[@HiTechOilCo]

@@heavenstomurgatroyd7033 - 1969 Yenko Camaro's were available throughout 1969. Early models didn't have the tachometer available from Chevrolet, so Don Yenko Chevrolet installed Stewart Warner tachometers. Yes, all musclecars were traction limited by bias ply tires back in the day, but no one would use such a tire today for other than car shows. With my Yenko Camaro, I found B.F.Goodrich Comp T/A's to be absolutely *fantastic*. Drop the clutch, "chirp", they dug in and it's, "See ya later alligator!". :)

[@w41duvernay]

Somebody tell this guy the Yenkos made a lot more than 450 up. The rating was a joke. Try 500 to 600 up.

[@HiTechOilCo]

The L-72 427, 450 horse engine could make that power yes, but it needed headers to achieve that.

[@HiTechOilCo]

Chevrolet rated the L-72 427 at 425 horsepower for insurance reasons. Don Yenko dyno tested a stock L-72 and found it actually generated 450 horsepower, so the 450 horsepower emblems were installed on the air cleaner lid for the Yenko Camaro's.

[@w41duvernay]

@@HiTechOilCo Many of these cars as soon as they were taken off the showroom floor had their exhaust manifolds replaced with headers.

[@HiTechOilCo]

@@w41duvernay - Most of them were used in drag racing service, (as that's what they were intended for and was why they had so few options), so yes they had headers installed. However, for street use I didn't see the need. This car was blazingly fast and could hit 60 mph in 4 seconds all day long. I embarrassed quite a few Mustang GT's, Corvette's, a Porsche 944 turbo and a twin-tubocharged Nizzan 300-ZX with it. The torque of the L-72 427 was just amazing! :) .

[@HiTechOilCo]

This car is indeed one of two ever made and I strongly believe this is the car I owned for so many years. I bought it for $3,500 in the mid-1980's. In my opinion, when a rare, original survivor car is altered and over-restored, the car loses its history and is no longer special and unique, becoming much like a clone car. I hope this was not done to defraud the current owner of this car of their money, making the car, "rarer", and more valuable than it really is. Muscle Car of the Week, how do I contact the current owner?

[@HiTechOilCo]

A California emissions air pump on a car built in Detroit, Michigan and then sent to Don Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania? Right. I may have been born at night, but I was not born last night. I strongly believe this is the car I used to own and it did *not* have a California air emissions pump, as well as several other items on the car! Has fraud been committed here? How does one contact the current owner of this car? They need to be made aware of the history of this car. I hope they were not defrauded of their money.
