ZL1 Powered 1969 Camaro
 

I built this car for me and to drive. So, I built it with the options that I would have ordered if I had not been 14 years old in 69. I also built the car as close to an original ZL1 as would matter from a visual, driving and performance stand point. Frame off restoration on what was originally a very rust free Los Angels 4 speed small block Camaro. All original body panels and floors. Body was media blasted and painted in show quality PPG base coat / clear coat. Undercarriage is like new. Virtually everything on this car is new or restored to like new condition.

This particular ZL1 block was originally sold by Yenko Inc. to Jerry Xxxxx of Manson Iowa. I have the original crate Yenko shipped the block in, for what it worth. This is a true GM 3846052 ZL1 block with Winters Casting marks. With the exception of being built to 10:1 comp. ratio the engine was built to ZL1 specs using the correct .620 lift mechanical cam. Originally built by Reggie Jackson Performance and configured to ZL1 specs. by West Side Performance.

I have tons of pictures before, during and after restoration, just ask.

Options:
ZL1: Vintage all Aluminum GM 427cid 535 hp
M22: HD Muncie 4 Speed “Rock Crusher”
G84: 4:10 Positraction Rear Axle
VE3: Special Endura Front Bumper
J52: Power Front Disc Brakes
K66: NOS Mag Pulse Ignition System

15” Rally Wheels

I appreciate all the positive comments. Actually I was a little reluctant to post it considering some of the members have very strong ideas against any thing that resembles a Clo, Clo, Clo (you know...the C word). This car is really not a, the C word. It's just Powered By and I suspect runs very similar to the real thing. I've never driven the real thing so I can only guess. I do know that this thing flies.

The only markings I was able to find are on the back of the block and written on the outside of the crate "SYEH" Nothing on the block pad. Originally sold sometime after Yenko moved to McMurrey (the return address on the crate is McMurrey) and before GM stopped casting the block. No date code that I could find in the usual places. The HP number is somewhat of an estimate. I didn't have what it takes to pull the engine to 7000rpm like it's built to go to but at 5900rpm it pulled 516hp and the curve was very strong. I think 535 is constrictive

It only has about 200 miles on it with 45 showing on the odometer. However, those numbers will increase every day it doesn't rain.

Thanks again for the kind comments

Rick

Rick, beautiful car.

I have no problem with the C word as long as the car resembles the original car it is supposed to. Your car does just that, its awesome. Very fair price I might add.
