A chance to own an original Yenko Camaro is coming up soon.
Not every 1960s muscle car came from the factory. This 1967 Chevrolet Yenko Super Camaro 427/450, which heads to the auction block at Barrett-Jackson's sale taking place on January 29 in Scottsdale, Arizona, was the product of an enterprising dealership.
At his Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, dealership, Don Yenko built the cars General Motors wouldn't. Shortly after the Camaro debuted for the 1967 model year, Yenko decided to stuff a 427-cubic-inch V-8 under its hood, something Chevy didn't initially offer in the Ford Mustang rival. Besides this creation, dubbed the Yenko Super Camaro, Yenko also offered tuned versions of the ChevelleThe car headed for auction started out as an already-rare L78-powered 1967 Camaro.
In addition to the bigger engine, Yenko added a heavy-duty clutch and pressure plate, and upgraded the cooling system and suspension. All for just $677.27 in 1967 dollars. Barrett-Jackson doesn't list pre-auction estimates, but given this car's rarity and the continuing market appetite for classic muscle cars, you can expect it to sell for serious money. The Yenko name was recently revived by New Jersey-based Specialty Vehicle Engineering for a series of modern tuned Chevys
