1967 Yenko Camaro

[427TJ]

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!)
