There are "Tributes" and there are "Tributes" I firmly feel I have taken this to the next level compared to other clones. I believe this is the nicest most accurate in every respect Yenko Tribute offered for sale. A Three Year restoration has made this nothing short of show quality. Under the hood lies a Dec 1968 dated coded 427ci V8 4 bolt main block (3963512) professionally built by Keith Pisut of Keith's Rod Shop in Fort Lauderdale Floridawho also did most of the final restoration to bring it up to concours quality using only date coded parts mostly from Heart Beat City Camaro who only carries the best for the Camaro.bored 30 over10.7-1compression has less than 1000 miles on it.solid lifter L 78 cam with crane gold roller rockers assembly steel crank 7/16 dimple rods correct winters rectangle port aluminum intake (3933163)m Correct Holly Carburetor($1500).I used Petronix ignition for realiabilitybut it is hidden to give it the old look.

I also have the rocker moldings still in the box I decided I want more the smooth look but they come with the car. Even the gas cap is 1969 NOS you do not see it but I am a purist and wanted the true Yenko that came off the showroom floor.

I also have the NCRS gold seal document that I paid for that shows the GM official production date was 11/11/1968. And with some research that the VIN number is just a few off from a Red Camaro that was a LM-1 in the LM-1 registry. Which tells me that this car (and the VIN shows a V-8) might have been an early option 350 called the "Small block" Sleeperwhich had the Muncie transmissionand special options that came on the car..

To Clarify you will receive 8 tires and wheels one set bias that are like original ones used on the 1969 Camaro and one set of radial tires.

The bias tires have less than 100 miles on them. I used them to win the Best of Shows on Many Events. and then put the radial tires back on and they are like new.
