Don Yenko never had Carroll Shelby’s gift for salesmanship or his knack for innovation. He was just a plain old car salesman out of Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, a good tinker with a good eye and a need for speed. He also had the good luck to be a Chevrolet salesman in 1969, just when Chevy’s Central Office Production Program (COPO) introduced code 9561—factory authorization for the introduction of the 427 L-72 COPO Camaro, a lightning quick pony car with a one-year only, aluminum big block V8. Somewhere around 500 cars of these cars were produced, 201 of which made their way into Don Yenko’s greedy hands. The consequence of this marriage—the Yenko Camaro, exists today in legend, history and in the hands of a few lucky collectors and the rare bewildered farmer who doesn’t know just what he’s got settin’ in the barn.
Make no mistake; the Yenko Camaro was fast. This was back in the Good Times, when gas was cheap and passenger cars ran on something close to airplane level octane ratings. With 11:1 compression, an aluminum intake, forged crank and Holley 780-cfm four-barrel carburetor, the L-72 pounded out 450 horsepower and 460 lb/ft of torque at the flywheel. All this power spun into a 4-speed Muncie or TH400 automatic and hit the ground through a GM corporate 12-bolt rear with a steep-geared 4:10 positraction punkin. The aluminum block and intake sheared a couple hundred pounds of the Camaro's curb weight, which, combined with the motor’s raw power and better breathing through the ZL2 hood scoop, helped the Yenko Camaro trip the lights in 11.94 seconds at better than 114 mph in the quarter. The stiff F41 heavy-duty suspension included 4-piston disc breaks and a 1” sway bar, just enough to keep the handling respectable.
The standard COPO was just about as well equipped as Yenko’s models at Cannonsburg Chevrolet. Yenko, however, knew he had something going and he wanted his special order Camaros to look the part. The Yenko Camaro wore SS stripes from nose to fender with “sYc” (Super Yenko Car) splashed on a broad wedge just behind the grille shell. “Yenko/SC” was the legend emblazoned behind the rear wheel wells on front-to-rear rally stripes that lanted up behind the spoiler. Yenko’s team stamped a “450”sticker onto the factory air cleaner.
The man did offer a few goodies besides stripes and decals. If you wanted to dig beyond the $4,500 base price, you could order power steering, Doug Thorley headers, and full Stewart-Warner gauges. 15” Five-spoke Torque-Thrust and Atlas Aluminum wheels rounded out the options packages along with, don’t ask me why, a vinyl roof. Vinyl looks fine on Carrie-Ann Moss, less so on a Camaro. Six different lacquer hues were available—Lemans Blue, Olympic Gold, Fathom Green, Rally Green, Daytona Yellow, and Hugger Orange. The tires were 15” bias-ply redlines.
Yenko actually began sprucing up iron block Camaros in 1967, and added a run of Yenko Novas in ’69. But it’s like the man says, "the light that burns twice as bright burns half as long." Yenko Camaros disappeared after ’69 like druids in the mists of Avalon. Come across a genuine. Come across a genuine Yenko today and you might as well have found the Holy Grail or a batch of early Microsoft Stock. In any event, you’re set for life.
As Chevy’s loused-up fourth-generation Camaro prepares to end its 35-year run in 2002, the last of a line of decidedly crummy cars, it’s good to remember the Yenko Camaro, and why everyone made all that fuss in the first place.
Given the choice, Graham Strouse would probably take a genuine Yenko Camaro over the Holy Grail or Microsoft stock. Ask him again after he pays off his credit cards.
Servus!
Ein sehr schönes Auto, muß ich schon sagen! :cool:

Beste "Auto" wo gibt :)
Hallo,
der '70 Hemi Challenger war auch ein Clone.
MfG
D.W.
Genau und es wurden 6 oder 7 challengers gebraucht für den Film. Einer war Perfekt und die anderen halt nur so ... halt.
Es sind aber laut Produzent keine Restaurierbaren Muscle Cars zerstört worden.
Es stimmt, das die Challenger und Camaro, die für den Film aufgebaut wurden, Fahrzeuge waren, die eher Schrottwert hatten. Der Picture Car Coordinator für die ersten beiden Filme, Craig Lieberman, hat hierzu ein sehr gutes Video auf seinem YouTube Kanal veröffentlicht. Sechs Challenger (einer kam in Form eines Frontclips zu der Firma, die die Autos aufgebaut hat (!) und neun Camaros wurden verwendet.
Ich glaube noch nie hat jemand soooo tief gebuddelt. 20 Jahre später zu antworten, ist schon speziell.

Der Einzige der Beteiligten, der hier noch vertreten ist Ist D.W. Die anderen sind alle gelöscht.
Dann können wir ja weitermachen mit den Muscels vom Wick Film.
