Used 1969 Chevrolet Camaro for sale in Crete, Illinois
Our Chicago showroom is proud to offer this 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. When Chevrolet first introduced the Camaro in 1967 they decided that no Camaro would be fitted with an engine bigger then a 400 CI. This was rather upsetting as Ford, Plymouth and others were stuffing bigger more powerful engines into Camaro competitors. For Don Yenko, the owner of a Chevrolet Dealership in Pennsylvania, he knew there was a market for bigger more powerful Camaros. He decided he was going to build his own. In 1967 he ordered SS Camaros from the factory and swapped out the engine for the larger 427 V8 engine found in Corvettes at the time. As one would figure they sold like hot cakes. He would make about a 100 or so each year for 1967, 1968 and 1969. In 1969 he worked with Chevrolet to finally get the 427 V8 put in from the factory. This 1969 Camaro is a tribute to Don Yenko and the wonderful cars he put on the road for all of us to enjoy. This Camaro received a full restoration in 2009. The engine was swapped during this time for a 427 V8 and paired to a 4-speed manual. To help get the power to the ground it has a Mosher Posi-Rear End with 3.73 gears. The odometer currently reads 76,481 miles, but the engine has about 2000 miles on it since being rebuilt and put in. The noise is emitted through dual exhaust coming out the rear. Painted in a clean yellow with a black vinyl top and Yenko Racing stripes on the hood and down the side of the car it is sure to get a lot of attention. Inside is a clean black vinyl interior with bucket seats and a center console. The gauges show the RPMs and Speed and in front of the stick shift are 4 white rectangle gauges for the battery, temperature, Oil pressure, and Fuel. The steering wheel is wooden and gives great grip to the driver. The car is waiting for its next owner whip through the gears and enjoy this bad boy like its meant to be. All of this sits atop 15-inch American Racing Equipment 5 spoke rims with raised white letter tires.
