Re: '69Yenko Camaro Options
The option list on the 69 Yenko Camaro was very limited. The only documented options from Yenko that we have determined are as follows: Vinyl top in black only/ Power steering/ Endura front bumper/ and turbo 400/ with the Atlas wheels listed as available on the dealer ad sheets. That is it.. All cars were equipped with an AM radio and D80 spoilers along with power disc brakes and ZL/2 hood standard. I have seen a few cars with consoles, but after further investigation they had always been added down the road. Most all of the early cars {before June} have the Stewart Warner pedistal mount tach and some had optional SW gauges that were added to some cars at extra cost. After June the tach was factory installed and the car received the rare center fuel gauge. All cars had the Yenko Sports Car conversion or COPO 9737 option. E-70-15 WTGT tires/15X7 rally wheels/ 140 speedo/ and 13/16 front sway bar/ though there is at least one car that had the 120 speedo. Only 6 colors were offered and all had 711 black standard interior. Cars came in 3 trim levels. Early cars @January are X66 or X11 being the rarest. After March all cars seem to be X44. I have original pictures of Yenko Camaros with fender striping along with the Yenko stripes, part of the X11 package. As far as Yenko installed speed parts it is fairly safe to assume that the cars that were sold within the dealer network were very stock. But the Yenko's that were sold at Canonsburg could and would be modified beyond the standard package if and when a customer chose to do so. If anyone wants to add to the list and can prove that their car had factory options installed that are not mentioned above we would be eager to hear from you! Also if your car was modified by Yenko and you can document it, we want to hear about it...The 67 and 68 cars are a whole different subject.
Thanks
