History and development

Pennsylvania Chevrolet dealer and racer Don Yenko created some of the most coveted special-order muscle cars of the late 1960s. His reputation is especially closely tied to 427-powered Camaros.

Yenko also developed notable Chevelle and Nova programs. Authentic documentation matters because genuine historic Yenko cars are rare and extensively replicated.
