February '05 Feature Car
      #120397 - 02/01/05 12:17 PM

February 2005 Feature Car:

Pat O'Connell's 1969 Yenko Camaro

Specs:

Engine (factory):L-72 427ci/425hp
Transmission (factory):M-21 4-speed
Rear (factory):4.10 posi
Selling Dealer:Bob Johnson Chevrolet, Wausau, WI
Options:COPO 9737 & 9561, vinyl top
Exterior color:Fathom Green
Interior color:Standard Black


"I purchased it from a fellow SYC member in October '04. It's Fathom Green, black vinyl top, 4 speed, with fresh paint and a driveline rebuild. The 427 runs fantastic. Instant response, great idle, very dependable and goes like hell! The photos reflect the condition of the car when I got it. At this point I'm installing the correct tach and gauge setup, adding a few underhood decals and putting a trunk kit together (jack, spare, etc.) The purchase included the original paperwork on the car from Yenko Chevrolet, which is always a good thing!"

"With the Michigan winter, I haven't had the opportunity to spend a lot of time behind the wheel, but that's gonna change in a couple of months! Plans include spending some time at Milan Dragway to wring it out a little bit, once the weather breaks!"

Pat O'Connell

Like it with the vinyl top. Hint: Paint the D-spokes Argent Silver. It'll make them stand out from all the other gray-painted D's out there.

I really appreciate the compliments from everyone about the Yenko...And wanted to add my thanks to the club as a whole. Not only did I find the car here, but also have gotten a lot of technical advice and other information. Here's to all of you! And Rob...Got the info about SCR8, I'm planning on it!
