Finished in Lemans Blue with white Yenko stripes. Originally a white with white interior car. Paint is in great shape. Interior is very nice. The engine compartment is correctly detailed with original markings like a factory original 1969 Camaro. The chassis is in a very clean and detailed condition as well. This is one clean Camaro, period. You might be able to duplicate this car but not the engine. Don Yenko only produced a few 496 Can Am ZL1 engines in the late 60's and early 70's and this one is # 99 produced (Yenko serial number SYIC 99). There is a show board included in this auction that has information about the Can-Am ZL1 engine and shows the original sales receipts from Yenko for this actual engine. The block has no GM part numbers, it is only numbers specific to Yenko. The Yenko marking on the front of the block and the winters foundary marks are clear. Yenko is cast into the front of the blocks of Can-Am engines. This Yenko Camaro recreation is equipped with a Muncie M22 rock crusher 4-Speed manual transmission and a 12-bolt positraction with 3:73 rear gears, power steering and power (front) disc brakes. It has Torque Thrust Wheels and Jet Hot Coated Hooker headers.

The interior looks like it has rarely been sat in. It has the appearance of an original Yenko interior with the correct SW gauges and SYC badges in the optional headrests. This car is mechanically in excellent condition and cosmetically close to perfect with some minor imperfections that could easily be addressed to be perfect. There are some minor chips in the paint that have been touched up, they can be clearly seen in the photos provided.

I was astounded at how nice this car appears, starts, runs and drives. The day it rolled off of the enclosed delivery trailer from Texas, I thought it looked like a comprehensively restored Camaro that would be a clean and presentable Camaro even if it was not powered by a Yenko and recreated as a very close to exact replica Yenko Camaro.

Even in person, this Camaro appears in every way to be a real Yenko, it has the 427, Yenko and SYC (Yenko Super Car) badges present in all of the correct locations on the car. It also has a Yenko data plate mounted on the passenger side cowl. Everything works like it should on this Camaro. Even the courtesy lights, door buzzer (when the key is in the ignition) and the reverse lock-out feature (transmission has to be in reverse to remove the ignition key), very rare for these to still be working in an original Camaro. This car is located in Albany, New York, USA.

You will not be dissatisfied with this incredible Camaro or with the racing history of the Can-Am all aluminum ZL1 engine installed. This engine has been rebuilt and it still has all the original Can Am parts inside, it comes with a full history of the engine as well as specs. Don Yenko high performance all aluminum 496 Can-Am engines dominated the strip and tracks and were considered to be the king of muscle car engines. The engine is estimated to have 650 horsepower.

$69,000
