You better add a zero at the end of that figure. I think there is at least a thousand of them just in Ohio.

goofy😂😂

How can 1851 remain when there were only 201 built? That number of 1851 makes no sense.Are you on crack?

Central office production order.

I remember passing Baldwin on sunrise highway long Island, always had bad ass car's in front, the good ole days, kids today don't know what they missed 🇺🇸

I've seen that Backwards K of Nickey Chevrolet!

@@jerroldkazynski5480 I think (but not sure) that the backwards K cars are NOT genuine NICKEY cars, but 'continuation' cars built through Stefano Bimbi, due to trademark infringement... UPDATE: I stand corrected.

@@stevencovington4715 The Dealership had a unique neon sign with the backwards K, to go with their radio ads having a jingle about it.

@@jerroldkazynski5480 Thank you. I stand corrected. If I had taken another minute to Google 'Nickey Chevrolet' I would have found that out...

Exactly in reality these cars really aren’t that special. No different then a hot rodder building his own car or putting a GM crate engine etc.

nope the engine was added at the dealership no such thing as a factory 427 in 69

​@@frostycools1315 Chevrolet didn't produce 427 powered camaros in 67 & 68 .Don Yanko took L78 (375 hp 396) camaros and added the 427. Fred Gibb convinced chevy to produce an all aluminum Zl1 427. it was called a central office production order (COPO) 9560. The iron block L72 427 Was the COPO 9561, Don Yanko ordered the cars in 6 colors. Rally green, Olympic gold, fathom green, hugger orange, lemans blue and Daytona yellow. There are also some Yenko- Douglas yenko camaros. I've known all this for years, their was a time I could tell you the vin and color off all the 69 ZL1 camaros produced.

@@TobyMcLean-rv1gq like i said no 69 came from the factory with a 427 that is a fact so whats your point

@@frostycools1315 you should probably get your facts straight before you start commenting on things you know nothing about. COPO 9560 and COPO 9561 ARE 427 EQUIPPED CAMAROS FROM THE FACTORY!! don't believe me look it up. Suppose next your gonna tell me they didn't put a 302s in 67 to 69 Z/28 cars

@@TobyMcLean-rv1gq and let me tell you something else mouth piece yenko was not the only one putting 427s in camaros or the novas ,,,,,, no factory 427s just dealer installed 427s in 69 azzclown

The Corvair Stingers were so badass looking.

I just got rid of a special 5.3. I been down in my. Back I hope somebody enjoying it. I think it had only 375 but that is a lot for a four wheel drive truck with 33 it spun them easy

Yea let's see those torque numbers 😂😂

Horsepower is just a math equation based on torque at rpm. Torque x rpm ÷ 5252 = horsepower. For example 500tq x 4500rpm ÷ 5252 = 428hp at 4,500rpm. Sure it's only 428hp but it's making it at 4,500rpm. Now when you put a bigger cam in you are basically moving the torque curve higher in the rpm range. Move that same 500tq up to 6,500 and you get 618hp. Torque is your actual power, horsepower is just how fast it's applied over time. A well built engine is capable of torque somewhere between 1.3 to 1.5x the ci displacement. 427x1.3=550 easily streetable torque other than it tends to want to break everything behind it lol

Saw a real one in a show years ago, another in a museum. They’re the best of the era of muscle cars.

Only 26 built but 2980 clones out there. I can’t lie, once I paint my 73 it will have Yenko stripes but I think I’m going to put NOVA/SS on the tail instead of SYC

@@camaroboi13 right !! Hope your nova turns out beautiful !! I'd like to see it ..

I Iened. Four. Novas and three malibus. And I built. Two. Dirt track. Novas that. Won all the. Time

That one looked like the clone that was used in one of the “ Fast & Furious “ movies, but I don’t remember which one. Towards the end of the movie Paul Walker (R.I.P.) launched it off of a boat dock & landed on the one bad guys yacht. They also had a Dodge Challenger which had a 392 Hemi in it & it also had a Year One front Plate on it.

Except the Buick GS 455, and GS 455 Stage 1...

Baldwin Vegas

Lots of info on Joel Rosen if you search. His Phase III cars came with a guarantee of running 11.50 with a NHRA or AHRA certified driver. Motion Performance sold all kinds of parts and packages for your new GM car. He was the first to put a Big Block in a Vega and dold the headers and associated parts to do it. In 1975, he was in Federal Court charged by the EPA for altering the emmissions of new Vegas with an L88 or L72. He paid a small fine and promised that ehat passed thru his shop was fir competition only. He also digned the sun visor of wvery car modified thru his shop. Motion mostly did Camaros, Corvettes, and Novas but also Biscaynes and Chevelles. That 350 is likely not what was originally in that Corvette. He did build some Green Meanie cars that had 350s with 2 4 bbl catbs on a short intake. The cars were green and built in 69 thru I think 72 or 73.

Worked at a gas station in Ontario Canada and met Tim one night, took us in his race trailer to show us his saleen mustang race cars. He used to race the saleen circuit. Awesome guy!

Good luck. Out of the original ones left the actual real registry original ones left The prices are through the roof and there are are the ones that were built by yanko but weren't from the factory like people had bought the car and then realized oh I can get this done and then brought it to yenko and had them do a yanko build on it but they're not on the registry list there's really like 350 ish that were done but on the registry list there's only 201 or something like that that left the factory or the dealership to yanko got built and then the customer picked it up when it's done the registry way The person's name is actually on the registry list and when you pick your car up like the paperwork and the booklet and all the information from yanko has the person's name in big letters on the pamphlet thing.

Yenko's didn't get an aluminum block.. only the zl1's.. yenko sold all aluminum big blocks over the counter in the early-mid 70s..

The ZL1 video I made on here I think is pretty good.. 👍

Those were for drag racing.

The nova

Chevelles + corvairs also !

Doubtful, a simple google search on quarter mile times will yield magazine articles showing the Yenko being capable of 1/4 mile time around 12.5 seconds while the Hemi was closer to a second greater than that.

The hemi couldn't handle the stage 1 GS Buick

Nope the hemi couldn't even handle the 70 Buick GS stage 1,look it up.

Sorry man no. I know everone hears Hemi and thinks the fastest but no. GM pumped out the speed machines Buick was king i believe

MOPARS 440 six Packs beat their Hemis. Some 360s came close…

The problem with that is the registry. If you’re car isn’t listed somewhere on that sheet you’d have a snowball’s chance in you know where or getting it added or verified to the point of being considered in the same class as one that is listed.

It's because not all of them were from the factory to yenko only 200 and one of them left the factory two yenko once people realize what yanko was doing people were bringing their cars that were a day or two or a week old and having them do the yenko build so technically on the registry sheet papers there's only 201 that they can say got shipped from the factory/ dealership to yenko But there was many other cars that were built from them but not in that order to get what I'm saying Like people brought them their cars people brought their Camaros years later to have these done

@@justicemcdonald2939 That’s fine and all but those cars would never be accepted into the registry or hold the same value. There’d be no connection to them being done by Yenko and instead really be just hearsay. So the number of 201, which is also actually incorrect as it’s 198, are the only ones that would pack true collectibility value.

@@Beastly82Fox i know this. But not in all cases. There was one that was certified as an actual yanko but wasn't originally on the list.. took them years to get it done but they did it.

Why would you not have receipts for the work done would it not be enough proof of labor and materials. Stripes or not maybe they had the money and wanted a real sleeper 😂😮

4.10s 🤮

Except, this video is patently wrong. Yenkos were COPO (central office production order) Camaros, built on the GM assembly line, but with Yenko decals down the side. They may have gotten a bit of tweaking above and beyond a stock COPO, but they came from the factory with the 427, and anyone could order one, if you knew the right order codes to put down.

You have the idea 💡

I find birth certificates in them all the time.. ?

It isn't known if any all Aluminum Yenkos were built....if they did it would have been a 67 prototype camaro... he didn't sell aluminum big blocks until the mid 70s

Could’ve been a zero one because I know when years they did have aluminum blocks or 69 did have aluminum blocks but it was a custom order. I believe a copo probably
