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 Camaroโs 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 Camaroโs exterior featured signature โYenko/SCโ (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.
