Hailing from Brooklyn is this clean 1969 Chevelle Yenko clone, looking very much like a modded original. The owner was building this car as a tribute to the original Yenko Chevelles, but is selling it to finish other winter projects.

Despite spending it’s entire life in NYC, the Chevy is rust free with no bondo or rust holes and it still has its original floor. The car was fathom green metallic when the owner acquired it, but he gave it the famous Yenko black with white stripes paint scheme, complete with the painted sYc emblem.

Under the hood, however, is an SBC mated to a TH350 transmission, instead of a 427 attached to a Munice. The Chevelle has a performance exhaust system and sits on 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels. The Yenko Chevelle was a dealership hot rod built by Yenko Chevrolet. In 1967 Yenko became famous for factory hot rodding the Chevy Camaro. In 1969 they began to rod other Chevy’s such as Chevelles and Novas.

For the 1969 year only, Yenko rodded the Chevelle. The Chevelle left the Detroit as a COPO 427 car tied to a Munice 4 speed. When it arrived at Yenko they went to work. It was given the signature paint job, raised white letter tires, heavy duty suspension and several engine mods. Only 99 Yenko Chevelles were ever built making them one of rarest performance optioned cars of all time. Knowing how rare they are, would you still drive a clone like this, or simply make it into a garden-variety musclecar?
