Were there ever any Yenko or motion cars built that had A/C ?

I was wondering if any of the super cars ever left the dealer with factory or dealer installed Air Conditioning

Yes, Two Camaro's in 1968. I don't believe there are others

Hey BKH What about the 81 Turbo Z's?

[bkhpah]

That's right, all the 81 Yenko Turbo Z's are air cars. 19 units. Any more than that?

Would any of the Vegas have had A/C? Probably not, but just a thought.

At least 1 Phase III GT Corvette came with AC. The one that has been featured in all the Vette magazines in 1993/94 that Joel Rosen owns, the Daytona Yellow one with Black stripes. I think a few of them came with AC. These cars were made for touring as well as racing.

I was reading an old Super Stock & Drag Illustrated magazine today, and I ran across something interesting. It was the August '69 issue, where the Yenko Chevelle was tested. In the article, it states that the car they tested was not the car they originally planned to test. They said the car they were supposed to get had an L-72 with AIR CONDITIONING! Here is what the article says:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>"Originally, we had planned to bring out a Chevelle equipped with air conditioning and the Turbohydramatic box. Our premise, and Yenko's, was to show that comfort and speed can go hand in hand. That particular unit we had in mind was inadvertently sold, however, so we opted for the straight L-72 with 2.20 first gear four-speed and standard 4.10 rear."<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I am assuming the a/c car was a demonstrator car that had a/c dealer installed, but...? Did they normally sell there demonstrator cars?

That could be a simple misunderstanding or it can be that Yenko built up an AC 396 car. Unless one turns up with documentation, it is difficult to believe. I don't think Chevy would build a solid lifter AC car in 1969. That article is great and has great original pictures. Notice there are no 427 decals on the air filter lid.
