question on 1969 Yenko Camaros

[442w30]

In the latest <span style="font-style: italic">Old Cars Weekly</span> magazine, someone sent in a correction in their Q&amp;A and referenced the site. The editor then elaborated some more on the Yenkos, even suggesting that just over 1000 Yenko Camaros were built. I recognized it as incorrect, as that's the estimated total for ALL L-72 Camaros. They also got the hp rating wrong, which I noticed came from the referenced site.

I sent in a correction and referenced this site, so let's see if they print the correction.

Diego, that web site was put up in the mid-90s. The guy who put up the site has never changed it. I haven't looked at it for years, and find it hard to believe that the site is still up. I was running Windows 95, with a 28k modem, when I first found it.
Has not changed since then.

Hello,
New member here! Trying to find information on 1969 Yenko Camaro on web and your site looks good so here I am. We have a 1969 Camaro Yenko in our family. My sister and her husband are the owners but I am the only one who drives it. I am looking for information on it. It is fun to drive and is fast. Does anyone know where I can get a Yenko brochure or 69 Chevrolet Camaro brochure as I will buy one.

Thanks, Kirk

I have a new condition 69 chev. camaro brochure, although the yenkos arenot in it. a lot of good info on 69 camaros . I came to this site to get rid of most of it, just afew weeks ago. and found afew people not to my liking.you can have the brochure for free, just send me your e mail, from one newbie to another.

No Yenko brochures I know of for '69, but several cool flyers, ads, etc. Originals are rather hard, and expensive to come by, but repops can be found on Ebay, among other places. Here is a neat ad for '69.



IMO, your best bet is Bob McClurg's newly released book on Yenko.

southernyenko, Got your last e-mail, will put all in mail in moring, as it went in one large envelope, dont worry about postage, overnights not that bad. sent 3 old chev brochures 67, 68, 69 . on camaros. yenkos camaros were made those years, thought ,yenkos not in factory brochures. I looked through the paper work on the 68 yenko Ibought and found , an info. sheet , from yenko about the car, and included it to you. Its a year earlier than your sisters, but if its a 4speed the drive trains,I believe are the same? reply back when you recieve. Bob krueger.

Does anyone out there know where I can get a trim ring for my sisters Yenko? I also need to know where I can get prices on what it is worth in Orlando area where I am located?

Thanks, Kirk

Tom,
Thanks for the information. I think that I have a lot to learn on this car. My sisters car looks like the one on the front of the book that you suggest except for the wheels are different.

Thanks again, Kirk
