yenko tribute
 

i would sure like to own a genuine Yenko Super Camaro, but i dont have an extra 350K laying around this year. so, i am considering making my 68 a yenko tribute.
what i know i will need:
1. 427 cu in engine
2. the twin snorkel fiberglass hood (although some folks say that the cowl hood was used too)
3. the yenko badges/ striping
4. the special speedometer.

what i dont know:
is the interior stock or a specific variation?
what type of transmission should i be looking at (automatic)?
any other important things i should consider?

any feedback is greatly appreciated!

" (although some folks say that the cowl hood was used too)". Wrong. That hood did not even come out till Dec.68 (69 model run).
Welcome aboard Derek. Good luck achieving your dreams. I am not versed on 68 specifics, but others will clue you in. Until then, Merry Christ-mas

I believe all of the 68's were 4 speeds. Of the 3 that I have seen they were black standard bucket seat interiors 712. with the 140 mph speedo

There were '68 automatics with the hydraulic cam and even a/c rated at 410hp

Thank you see I wasn't 100% on that

This would be considered a pretty standard interior for a 68 Yenko. Photo credit to Fast Freddie and Stephano.
