2010 YENKO Camaro not what Don Yenko would have built
I have been a big fan of Don Yenko and his SYC car's for as long as I can remember. I have been to Canonsburg PA. I have walked through his original dealership as well as his dealership he built before he passed. I have had friends that restored original Yenko/COPO Camaro's. With this said, I feel that the new 2010 Yenko Camaro is not the way that Don would have built a 2010 YENKO SC/Camaro. The original 1969 Camaro's were COPO cars from the factory. They were base Camaro's with cast iron 427's and heavy duty transmission's and heavy duty rear ends. This prototype Yenko thay are showing at SEMA is sad display of an Iconic car of yesterday. In my personal opionion I would have liked to see a base apearing 2010 Camaro with a LS7 power plant "427" replace the original yellow bowtie with a blue one "Via 69." I would have liked to see wheels that looked more like the original Atlas wheels that were originally offered on Yenko's. I would have also liked to see some type of special Stewert Warner Green light gauges. The paste on ground effects look terrible! These are just my thoughts and I look forward to seeing what everyone else thinks. Here are a few Yenko pictures. Jeff
