Any pictures of the Red 67 Yenko ?

One of my favorites...

Oh yea! I like this red car, any pics of the TT and a little better pic of the underside of the hood please.
Hood looks as if it’s a Harwood, what you think Rob?

Richard, I did not get a good look at the underside of the hood at the show.
I know the Harwood hoods that I had in the early 80s were lift off and had no provisions to bolt hood hinges on.

Sorry, those were the only two pics I took... My ADD got the better of me in this room that day : )

Had a chance to get out to the Camaro Nationals in Morgantown, PA this past Friday and Saturday.

Was able to bring out some pre-sold parts and get them to their new owners.

Ran into many people I haven’t seen in several years, most of them members on this site,
Matt K, Joe S, Dave V, Benny P, Al P, Gene P,
Guy A, Kerry S, Dean S, Joe B, Bergy, Larry C, etc.

Later on Saturday, I started talking to Bergy About his freshly restored awesome Bolero Red 67 Yenko.
Also, wanted to talk to Doug P. About his Yenko cars when they called the people to gather for the award ceremony.

Realizing that I promised a few people I was going to take some pictures, and hadn’t done so yet!

In haphazardly fashion I took some pictures.
In no way the quality and organization as some on here, CC Rider, mrays and Xplantdad come to mind.
Member Joe B. (Bugsy) pulled in with his strong sounding 68 Camaro drag car, unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures, I’ll get Joe to send me some pictures and I’ll post them in the Pit Area-Racing section.

I’ll try to get the pictures posted up this morning.

If you’re thinking about going to the show in 2026, I highly recommend it. Great cars, Great people!

Rob, thank you so much for the photos! I dropped my IPad and the camera now doesn’t work, so no photos from the weekends. For those who came by to check out Lee’s car (The Camaro like no other Mountain Green 67 convertible in the corner shown above), it was very, very much appreciated. I tried to get Lee to the show a few times but he fiddled around and it never happened. He passed in June and I convinced his daughter Elizabeth to get the car there. It was a huge effort of me, her, and my longtime friends RC and Sandy Woolfenden (Look for her 69Z in 2026) in 90+ degree weather to get it there. Lying on the ground with a pressure washer, covered in rocks, stuff 60 year old debris. Big thanks to Bernie McDonald to trailer it there as well. It was Elizabeth’s first car show ever and she had a hard time comprehending what the fuss was all about. I finally said, “It’s a nerd fest for Camaro lovers”, and she got it. And while she intends to find a good home for the car, the real question was how it would score with a Vintage Certification. 88.5% isn’t too shabby.

Camaro Nationals
 

Why is there a orange cast iron intake manifold and a Quadrajet carb (I can see the single fuel line and the white plastic choke pull off) on this 427/410 HP engine? Was it an L-36 or an L-72 engine on the first 1967 427 Yenko Camaros? I thought all 1967 & 1968 Yenko 427 Conversions were L-72 solid lifter, aluminum intake, with a Holley Carb engines as the COPO 1969's were. I'm just trying to learn here people, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know any better probably because I'm more of a Chevelle and Corvette Guy. Bill

^^ Weaker TH400 trans was NOT up to L72 power. So I think Yenko followed the Chevy process of rating and thus equipping the Automatic cars different than the Manual Cars (i.e. L72')

Thank Goodness for Fred Gibb and the Automatic Trans 68 Chevy II's Copo's?

There are at least five 67 Yenko's that I know of that are 4N cars that came from the factory with the TH400 and had the L-36 installed in them. There is also one 68 with A/C that had an L-36 installed in it.

The hood on the Red 1967 Yenko is a NOS hood according to the owner. I am not sure about it being a Harwood hood.

Old school fiberglass stinger hoods
 

I’ll start a new post later about these stinger type hoods. I got several pics n info on them.

17 of the 54 Yenko converted Camaros in 1967 were 4N cars. 3 are known to survive today
