The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko is one of the most iconic and sought-after muscle cars in American automotive history. This special edition of the Camaro was modified by Don Yenko, a famed racer and car tuner, who enhanced the Camaro’s performance to a supercar level.
The 1969 Yenko Camaro was equipped with a 427 cubic inch (7.0-liter) V8 engine sourced from the Corvette, officially rated at 425 horsepower (though real output was likely higher). Paired with either a 4-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic transmission, the car boasted rapid acceleration and impressive performance. The Yenko Camaro’s exterior featured signature “Yenko/SC” (Super Car) badging, unique striping along the body, and aggressive design details. The interior maintained the classic Camaro style but could include upgrades such as leather seats and special gauges.
