132757 / 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko

132757 / 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Video Clips. Duration : 3.08 Mins.


You can't argue that the '69 Camaro wasn't one of the best-looking pony cars of all time, and the Yenko treatment only made it better. This one is dressed appropriately as a base V8 Camaro with full Yenko regalia and a simple ducktail spoiler. A cowl induction hood was added, along with a cool chin spoiler, and the Lemans Blue paint is the perfect combination of subtle and stunning. Rendered in two-stage urethane, it has a soft glow to it that only seems to emphasize the Yenko's power and attitude. Before the Yenko stripes went on, the entire body was color sanded and buffed for a spectacular shine that really makes the white stripes pop. But let's be honest, the only reason you want a Yenko lives under the hood. In this case, it's a correct iron block 427 cubic inch mill dressed like the factory would have done, plus a few upgrades. There's Chevy Orange paint on the block, a correct open element air cleaner with '427 Turbo-Jet 425 horsepower' decals, and OEM chrome valve covers, which were standard equipment on big block Camaros. Upgrades include a big Holley carburetor atop an Edelbrock intake, some positively huge long-tube headers, and an HEI ignition system to light the fires. There's almost no sign of usage anywhere under the hood, and the level of detailing will make you want to pop the lid every time you park the car. Although you could get a Yenko with an automatic, a vast majority were equipped with Muncie M21 4-speeds like the one in this car. Out back, there's ...

133005 / 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko

133005 / 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Tube. Duration : 3.32 Mins.


If you're one of the growing number of enthusiasts who's ready for a really well done Yenko tribute that's ready to rock, this '69 Camaro is exactly what you've been waiting for! Beginning life as an authentic X44 striper which was covered in a tepid coat of GM code 65 Olympic Gold lacquer, this awesome F1 Camaro recently underwent a complete frame-off restoration that rebuilt or replaced every one of its parts. The car presently wears a slick coat of GM code 10 Tuxedo Black urethane that's accented by fresh white Yenko decals; and when you take one look down its sinister panels, you'll understand why virtually NO ONE misses its bland, original pigment. Lift this well-done Yenko tribute's glossy black hood and you'll find a 454 cubic inch monster block which has been cleverly disguised to fool all but the most enlightened bowtie fans. At the top of the engine, air flows from a correct open element air cleaner which is adorned with a new 427 cross-flag decal, into a big Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a modern aluminum intake manifold. At the sides of that intake, spectacular chrome valve covers hang bright "Yenko S/C 427" decals above fully restored cast iron exhaust manifolds. And at the back of that intake, a rebuilt points distributor sends fire through fresh United Delphi Packard plug wires. Cooling is provided by a heavy duty radiator which sends water through reproduction GM hoses and fresh tower clamps. Compression comes courtesy of a 427 crankshaft which helps the ...

If you're one of the growing number of enthusiasts who wants to actually enjoy the performance, look, and value of the storied Yenko name, this '69 Camaro is your opportunity to forgo the time, headache and six figure cost of building one yourself.

Throw in a slick coat of correct GM code 72 Hugger Orange paint and an authentic race-inspired Yenko decal kit, and it becomes one seriously lust-worthy piece of automotive art. Naturally, all this car's top notch eye candy rides on a clean and arrow straight body which presents solid, dent-free panels with better-than-new fit and super narrow gaps.

At the sides of that intake, spectacular finned aluminum valve covers hang multi-colored Yenko emblems above fully restored cast iron exhaust manifolds. And at the back of those valve covers, a rebuilt points distributor sends fire through correct Packard TV R Suppression ...

132626 / 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

132626 / 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Video Clips. Duration : 3.38 Mins.


This sinister numbers matching 1979 Camaro Z28 that wears its original paint and has only 29052 summertime miles on its odometer. In the collector car world the phrase "You're only young once" is often translated to "It's only original once". And while full restorations can help better align doors, get the rattles out and make a car feel new again, it's simply never going to have the same look, feel, smell or appeal of an untouched factory assembled car. This Camaros original GM code 19 water based black paint is much nicer than we expected and displays a unique glossy finish that simply can't be duplicated with today's basecoat/clearcoat techniques. At the ends of the car, front and rear bumper covers that exactly match the wet look of the straight body panels are highlighted by original two-tone gold decals that appear fresh and exhibit none of the usual sun induced fading or cracking. I'm sure restraint played a big part in this Z28s low 907 mile per year average drive time, but judging by the pristine paint and solid body panels, I'm also certain this car resided in a completely weatherproof indoor parking spot. The result is an excellently preserved time capsule that likely hasn't seen a full day of rain or bad weather its entire life. Mechanically, the cars original LM1 V8 is in great shape and is as close to original as you're going to find in anything built during the Carter administration. At the top of the motor, a satin black air cleaner pipes cool air into the ...

2012 Nomad, Monte Carlo & El Camino "Camaro based"

2012 Nomad, Monte Carlo & El Camino "Camaro based" Video Clips. Duration : 3.07 Mins.


As a designer and a third generation Camaro owner I was very disappointed at Mr. Ed Welburn's compromise called 2010 Camaro, for one its simply too tall and heavy to be called a sports car or at least a pony car the two door Bentley also claims sports car status , go figure... some might argue that the new Camaro is a muscle car, perhaps but any old car with a strong enough frame that can handle an overpowered engine and achieves a fast quarter mile, is a mussel car, but a pony car was special...how you ask? It was based on a fairly small sporty car that cold be purchased as a strip down starter car to the mighty 1973 Pontiac firebird trans am equipped with the 300 horses and crap load of torque, oh did I mention the blue on blue turkey decal or shall I call it the screaming chicken by any name it was just the right hood decoration surrounding the rudely protruding shaker air intake with the 455SD insignia on both sides and yes there was a Pontiac big block super duty 455 cid engine was nested under the hood of a measly firebird which was no more then a Ford Pinto with its smaller engine. Okay I am exaggerating a bit a polar whit pinto with blue turkey decal? But this new Camaro wants to jump to the top from the get go and to make matters worse it tries to accommodate some sort of a cartoonish look of a mussel car the silhouette of a pony car and the size of a firkin Buick, and if that was not bad enough it is both visually and ergonomically offensive to most women ...
