only 100, they decided to only make a few since don yenko died in 1980

So no chance in ever finding one without having to sell my soul to get it?

Really? I've seen multiple picture of 5th gen yenkos. Just a deceiving graphics kit?

wayne watson · 04-27-2014, 02:25 PM

i'm sure you can buy the decals but i don't think yenko chevrolet has been open for some time.
just looked it up, he stopped selling the yenko cars in 1972 and died in 1987

Yeah I know it isn't open but I didn't know if Chevrolet threw out some as a tribute to yenko or what. Especially considering the yellow Camaro in this picture is in a museum

PoorMansCamaro · 04-27-2014, 02:29 PM

yeah, only 1 5th gen yenko was built. by Nickey Chevrolet with the support of the Yenko family.

edit: that one in the museum is the only one.

Oh okay thank you. So all the others are just graphic kits someone put on a normal Camaro then

NicKey · 04-30-2014, 07:19 PM

Up to this date NicKey has built Two 5th Generation Yenko Camaros.

The First is a 2010 with a real 427 and 700 naturally aspirated HP.

It was built for Tom Clary, former owner of yenko.net and the promoter of the Super Car Reunion.

The second car is a 2012 45th Anniversary Commemorative edition built for Lynn Yenko, Don's Daughter.

Bowtie-Bri · 04-30-2014, 07:26 PM

I believe Lynn Yenko is putting her car up for auction, not sure which one though.
