Description
In the second of the Fast & Furious movies, the street racing
competition heats
up and the cars get faster. While it doesn’t win in the
movie, the Yenko™/SC
Camaro® is a real winner today. When the Chevy®
Camaro® was introduced in
1967, Don Yenko saw an opportunity for his Chevy® dealership to
offer special
performance versions. In 1969, Don was able to order uniquely equipped
Camaros under the special GM COPO order program. So Yenko Chevy ordered
201 Camaros with L-72 engines and a list of other performance extras.
The
Fast & Furious movie franchise now includes over 7 movies, and
it is the most
popular series Universal Studios has ever produced.
The Camaro wasn’t the first special performance car Don
Yenko’s dealership
offered. In 1965, they built specially modified Corvairs called
“Stingers”.
Starting in 1967, Don switched to specially modified Camaros. The 1969
Camaro COPO cars were equipped with a 450 horsepower 427 c.i. engine,
power disc brakes, a 4.10 Positraction rear end, a Z-28 front anti-sway
bar
and the choice of a M-21 four-speed or Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic
transmission. On the outside, there was a cowl-induction hood and front
and
rear spoilers. It was all topped off with special Yenko graphics and
badges.
