Don Yenko will always be remembered for his amazing achievements in the industry, but where did it begin for him, and how did his life look before he was one of the most notable names in Chevrolet history?
Don Yenko will always be remembered for his amazing achievements in the industry, but where did it begin for him, and how did his life look before he was one of the most notable names in Chevrolet history?
On September 2nd, Dick Guldstrand, the man better known as "Mr. Corvette", passed away after over 87 years of living life in the fast lane.
If you're like us, you have always wanted a Yenko Camaro. Well, get to the Mecum auction in Seattle June 6th, and this baby can be yours.
Check out this classified ad for a 1969 Yenko Camaro survivor car for sale by the original owner. Besides having just 37,000 miles on the odometer and being a one-owner car, the seller states that his extensive documentation proves that this is the very last first-generation Yenko Camaro ever built.
As you no doubt know, authentic Yenko First Gen Camaros are among the most powerful, rare, and valuable muscle cars from the late 60's. Clones of these legendary cars are everywhere, but in this video we get a look at the real McCoy - complete with its original 450 HP 427 big block. Step inside to watch!
Don Yenko died in a car crash 25 years ago, and the last car he built and sold was the Yenko Turbo Z Camaro. Just 19 were built, and a freshly restored Turbo Z has made its way on to eBay for some serious cash.
Yeah, we know. You're thinking, "Great, another '69 Camaro." (whether with or without the sarcasm is your choice) We'd like to argue that this wannabe Yenko is much more than just some big-dollar build by some soulless collector. This cool F-Body was the result of some serious passion.
