A Brief History of the 1967 Yenko
Everyone knows about the 1969 Yenko Camaros. That was the first (and prett much only) year that Yenko Chevrolet actually ordered the cars through the Central Office Production Order (COPO) system. But not a lot of people know that there are 67 and 68 cars that Yenko built out of SS cars. In 1967, you could go to Yenko Chevrolet and order a Yenko Camaro. They would start with the SS and ask you - “Do you want anything else while we’re in there?” Most peope would get headers, upgraded suspension and other goodies. This makes it a little easier for me to build as each one was built a little different. The main distinguishing feature on 67 Yenkos was the Stinger Hood - just like the Corvette. Not all cars got this fiberglass hood but it sure looks cool! I will be going with one. There are conflicting reports of either 51 Camaros in 67 or 104. I am not sure but either way, there are not a lot and the Classic Car Bluebook lists 67 Yenko as worth up to $250,000!!!!!
