1973 "427" Yenko Camaro

[ssl78396]

So was the car ever registered for the street curious after seeing all the stickers indicating may not meet emissions off road use only?

Yes, driven on the street since 1973, Was currently licensed in Minnesota when we bought it. I have the original title.

Here is the Minnesota plate he ran.

I have had the chance to look over the car and paperwork. Overwhelming amount of documentation. No doubt this it the real deal and very cool!

What is that Protect-O-Plate? Car is a TypeLT Z28.

looks like the vin has the "S" for type LT and the "T" for Z/28

did the car have Z/28 stripes on it or was it ordered stripe delete?
stripe delete should show on the trim tag


the rear seat looks something like the jump seat Yenko sold for the C2 Corvettes where you can access the area behind the seat.

Does it fold down like the Corvette jump seat?

Yenko still listed the jump seat in the 1970 Stinger Stuff catalog


Someone posted about 10 years ago that the guy who made these seats was about 70 years old and was still working in Bridgeville Pa. He did some of the interior projects for Yenko in the 60's and 70's


I have not seen or heard of the Yenko jump seat in a Camaro before

TypeLT Z28s never received stripes and the cowl tag will just be blank where the stripe color code would be.

Congrats Tom!

We are honored to be hosting this car, which will be right beside Mr. Perry's freshly restored 1967 Yenko 427 Camaro in our Real Day 2 Invitational display at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

Yep...several more reasons to join us November 23-24!

Yes; Yenko will certainly be well represented at MCACN again this year.

A few vintage photos. The original wheels and tires were stolen early on, while in the owners garage, so Centerlines, then a set of later model after market wheels. I have just purchased the correct size slotted mags and BFG tires as would have been originally equipped.

In the pics is the car with the aluminum headed 427, minus, the air intake system (which fortunately the owner saved). In the 1980s the car was sold to kid a down the street, who removed the 427 and replaced it with a SBC. A short time later the original owner bought the car back. Following MCACN we will be replacing the SBC with a more correct 427, complete with aluminum heads.
