Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

302/290hp, 4-speed, Cragar wheels, Radial T/A tires, spoilers, Hurst T-handle shifter, radio delete, 12-bolt rear, 3.73 Positraction, Mallory ignition, column tach, Yenko traction bars, power brakes.

Condition

Built by Don Yenko for a friend to be a small-block Camaro that could compete with the big-blocks on the drag strip, and supposedly it ran low 12s in period. Believed to be a unique example. Represented to be 17,882 miles from new and the matching numbers engine. Very good repaint, chrome and interior. Restored to like new. A cool bit of Yenko history that a lot of people don't know about.

Market commentary

Sold here for what has to be a definitive price given the absence of any comparable information, about double the price of a standard Z/28, which seems appropriate. Chevy rated stock Z/28s at 290hp. They regularly turned 350hp on a dyno at the time, over 450hp with the dealer option cross-ram dual quads. What this beast makes is hard to imagine. Enjoy it.
