1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro Tribute. Yenko's story is legendary, and prices on real Yenko vehicles bear out his wonderful legacy of high performance and factory-built horsepower. With prices spiraling ever higher on pedigreed examples, the smart hobbyist who likes driving his hardware buys a tribute car like this Garnet Red 1969 example. With the same fire-breathing 427 under the hood, the dazzling Yenko graphics package it's the ultimate drivable dream.

Code 52 Garnet Red is one of the handful of hues that were offered on the originals, lending this car some additional authenticity. There are, of course, the bright white body stripes with Yenko S/C (for 'Super Car') callouts on the quarter panels, but there are also a myriad of badges advertising the thumping 427 under the hood, as well as a lovely Yenko badge affixed under the stock Camaro script on the front fenders. Under the hood is 1969 vintage L72 427 under the hood, which according to the owner has been rebuilt to factory specs including 11:1 compression with forged aluminum pistons and closed chambered heads, Factory aluminum intake manifold cast correct for L72 engines, 750 Holley carb and more. Paired with a M22 Rock Crusher 4-speed Muncie transmission Imagine how this Yenko can get up and go! There's simply nothing like keying up that legendary 427. The sound, the feeling of the idle, and the relentless surge of torque as you power through the gears. Even back in the day these were legitimate 12-second cars, and even today's world of 600 horsepower Corvettes, performance is impressive. If you’re looking for an impressive tribute that may fool even the keenest Yenko aficionado this is the one you want to own! Options include AM/FM radio, spare tire, power brakes, power steering, houndstooth interior, seat belts, and alloy wheels wrapped in white letter bias ply tires.
