Interesting history and order codes on the 1974 Camaro Z/28 sold by Yenko Chevrolet
Original owner Dennis "Denno" worked at Yenko Chevrolet and Yenko Honda

Don Yenko helped with modifications on the Z/28 including cam change and change to early LT-1 intake and Holley carb.
Yenko crest emblem on the rear

1974 was during the transition from the dealership in Canonsburg to the new RT 19 McMurray location. This car had to be among the last Camaros to go through Yenko Canonsburg

The original window sticker has the Canonsburg address

interesting codes on the window sticker shows B2G delete base radial tire 103.65CR (credit) and B2H interim equipment change .

more information on owner Scot Winskye's FB page

Very cool! Looks like it still has the original grille too. I may have to breakdown and go on FB to look.

I think the most surprising thing is that the LT trim pieces that fall off easy are still in place on the rear tailight panel. You rarely see those remaining on any 74 LT -z28

historical significance aside on this car, I could never get over the hideous 5mph bumpers they put on the '74-'77 Camaros. Of course all of the car manufactures were dealing with the ridiculous new federal mandate at the time. Some did a better job than others hiding them.

I get the hate for the '74 and beyond bumpers, but for some crazy reason I just dig the '74.......even moreso than the 70-73. Can't explain my insanity.

I have always liked the 74’s as well and would buy one if I could find it! Makes 2 of us that are crazy!

the window sticker has RPO " B2G delete base radial tire 103.65CR (credit)"

I looks like it was some type of special code to delete the tires and give a $103.65 credit.

I have not found any info on this RPO except one that was used later

There is no comparison between 70-73 and 74. The 70-73 are extremely sexy cars especially the rs front ends.

I'm a big bumper fan myself.

I had a 77 Z28 4spd car, was a very fun car to throw around. Not a lot of power, but handled great. I eventually put a Ed Pink built smallblock in it and it became really fun, lol

About 10 year ago I had a red on black, 74 Z28, Type LT...numbers match, all original, with A/C. Decent driver condition. Another car I wish I kept, instead of turning it over for a little profit.

Even the engine, (with A/C...Rare in these parts) looked to be original.

mssl72 06-13-2025 08:17 PM

That looks untouched.

I owned a 78 Z-28 Camaro, bought brand new. Lot of fun also with a 4 speed, 3.73 gear posi, performance suspension. That 350 L48 engine was a dog, as you stated the handling was great with that perf suspension.

Thanks!
 
I'm the owner of the '74 Camaro mentioned originally in this thread and I wanted to thank everyone for their interest and comments. Just to be clear, I am well aware that "they didn't make a 'Yenko Camaro' in 1974". I don't claim that this car is such a thing. What it is, is a 1974 Type LT Z28 Camaro bought from the Yenko dealership by a mechanic who worked there at the time and got help from Don Yenko himself modifying it with parts to essentially make the numbers matching 350 an LT1 (minus the solid lifters per Don's recommendation).

About the wheels... the factory five spoke rally wheels were stolen while the original owner was storing it in a church parking lot. He put the Corvette rallies on it, which I have kept to put on it at car shows with period correct Mickey Thompson Indy Profile tires. I drive it around with Ansen slots.

There is much more to this car's story and I love telling it to anyone who is interested. The original post has a link to the car's Facebook page.

KYwinskye, cool Camaro. What part of KY are you from? My wife is from outside Ashland.
