That looks like the Yenko Camaro in 2 fast 2 furious.
@Jared1452
it is
@humantestdummy – A 1969 Yenko Camaro is a COPO car.
@MJKelly1 – 99% of the 1969 Yenko Camaro’s were bone stock Chevrolet production line cars.
@XspikerdudeX88 – That would make it even more fake. This car is not a real 1969 Yenko Camaro, as they didn’t come with consoles or rosewood steering wheels. This car is a fake.
@mtz313 – In 1969, the L-72 427/450 horse engine was installed by the Chevrolet factory production lines. Aside from the Yenko badging and stripe kit, (and not all of them had this), they were bone stock Chevrolet production line cars.
@ClubPipe – In 1969, the Yenko Camaro was a bone stock Chevrolet production line car.
@jmb765 – In 1969, Don Yenko just special ordered the L-72 427/450 horse Camaro’s and Chevelle’s right from Chevrolet.
@DANIAC262 – This car is not a Yenko. It’s a fake.
OK.. still a good looking clone. Nobody cares about how much knowledge you think you have.
@DANIAC262 – I don’t care either. That’s not the point. Just ticks me off to see some people attempting to pass off a fraudulent car as a genuine original.
It doesnt say “genuine original mint condition 69 yenko camraro” anywhere in the title. They just left out the clone part. Its a good looking car get over yourself.
@DANIAC262 – Now it *has to say*, “genuine original mint condition 69 yenko camaro”, to be identified as a, “Yenko Camaro”? Says who?
Calling a Yenko Camaro a, “Yenko Camaro”, *is saying* that it *is* in fact a Yenko Camar.
Get over myself? I did that when I was born.
Tip; stop taking the nasty pills. lol
Don Yenko worked with Chevrolet to have the 427ci engines installed at the factory. This was accomplished thru the COPO system, with the L72 427ci engine being used in the cars. All ‘69 SYCs had either the M21 4-speed or the THM400 automatic transmission, COPO 9737, D80 spoiler equipment, and 711 black standard interior. Yenko added the special striping on the exterior and the SYC lettering on the headrests.
I have lots more info on the 69 Camaro, read the reply I wrote below.
COPO 9737 was the “sports car conversion” that added a 140 MPH speedometer, a 13/16-inch diameter stabilizer shaft (increased from the 11/16-inch diameter standard bar), and E70×15 Goodyear Wide Tread GT tires on 15-inch rally wheels. COPO 9737 cars built after May, 1969 also got a center gas gauge and a factory tachometer. This COPO was pioneered by Don Yenko for his use in 1968, but for 1969 model year was also ordered by other dealers. In 1968 COPO 9737 is believed to be exclusive to Yenko.
In addition to Yenko, a number of other Chevy dealerships, including Motion Performance (Baldwin-Motion), Dana Chevrolet, Nickey Chevrolet, and Berger Chevrolet, were doing similar 427ci engine transplants into 1967-69 Camaros and most of them also took advantage of COPO 9561 when it became available in ‘69. Several of these dealerships added other dealer options like dual-quad carburetors, aluminum heads, performance clutches with scattershield,suspension modifications, and appearance packages.
Only a fake if you try to sell it to someone as a genuine Yenko. Replica or clone it may be. I would need to check and also get other experts opinions, but then I am not buying it. These cars are over 40 years old, many changes may have occured to them over their life time, particularly in their early years when some people may not have realised what they would become. There are not many cars of this age that are “fresh out of the box,” they have been used as god and Chevrolet intended!
All of the comments I have posted are in reply to our resident “expert” Echeque5.
@MJKelly1 – If we look at the heading of this video, nowhere does it say, “clone”, or, “replica”. It simply states, “1969 Yenko Camaro 427 4 speed”.
@MJKelly1 – Well thanks, but I’m no, “expert”.
The way I see it, if someone is an expert, then they know it all and know one could know it all. 
If someone were to know it all, then they’d have nothing left to learn, which would be a pretty terrible existence. 
No expert here, I owned one of these cars and have done over 20 years worth of research on them. So in order to help others, I’m sharing that knowledge here. Too many people getting sold faked cars as the real McCoy.
@MJKelly1 – Just for sharing information, Don Yenko didn’t add the, “sYc”, striping and badges to all the cars. Some customers didn’t want that, so they weren’t installed. On my own Yenko Camaro, the, “sYc”, emblems were never added to the headrests.
Did anyone say it was installed on “all” of the cars?
I think most people here would agree that by replying individually to “most” of the comments comes across as arguing a point. I’m pleased to meet a fellow enthusiast and yes I agree no one could know everything.
Congrats on owning a very fine vehicle, you are very fortunate.
I’m still not sure what you mean that a “Yenko was a bone stock, Chevrolet production car.”??
As regards to being sold a “fake” Yenko, I think I could successfully argue in court, a case of fraud.
Has anyone atempted to purchase this vehicle, asked if it is indeed a genuine, numbers matching car, and been told that it is the genuine article?
If so please message here and let us all know.
