Re: 1967 Yenko Camaro
Tom,
Interesting! The 1967 Yenko Camaro has the L-72 with 450HP, similar to my Corvette (I would assume). I know during sept, oct, and early nov you could get the 450HP L-72 in the Vette. After that, it was down sized to 425HP. What years did Yenko use the 450 HP L-72? What years did Yenko switch? Thanks -Dan

Re: 1967 Yenko Camaro
Very interesting that Clark Maple Chevrolet in Chicago is listed as a Yenko Dealer. Tom if they are listed as a dealer in the network did they for sure sell a car?

Re: 1967 Yenko Camaro
I love that ad! I could throw a set of mid-year Corvette sidepipes on my car and pretend it's a Yenko*. (See pic)
I think the '66 Corvette L-72's original 450hp rating was changed to 425 (different sticker on air filter lid) by GM to help calm the insurance companies. I don't think there was any change to the engines. The motors used by "Supercar" conversion dealers were basically crate L-72 Corvette engines if I'm not mistaken. Yenko probably used the "450" rating to attract buyers. (*And I'd catch he__ for it too!)
