A 69 Camaro Yenko Question

Mr. T · #1 11-28-2003, 10:00 PM

Were there any RS or SS optioned 69 Camaro Yenko's. I have seen a double COPO RS and Kevin's Double COPO Berger SS, but have never seen a Yenko with these additional options. Do any exsist? Thanks!!

No RS Yenkos in 69... there were some in 67 and 68, but all 69s had open headlights.

Thanks CamaroJoe!

Was that Don Yenko's decision not to have an SS or RS Yenko, or is that just the way the customers ordered them?

That would have been Don's decision, as he ordered all the cars. He wanted to keep the options low and the price low as well. The only options all cars had (besides what was part of the 9561 and 9737 COPO packages) was air spoiler equipment and an AM radio. Some cars got vinyl tops, power steering, endura bumpers, and exterior trim, but all were essentially bare bones.

Thanks again!

Included was a ZL2 on all Yenko's I am sure! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

That brings me back to an earlier question, that I never cleared up. (at least in my feeble mind)
Which options were included in the COPO package (like RPO ZL2) and which were required options?
As an example, I have seen pics of original window stickers or shippers. One listed RPO J50/J52 as a seperate option, and the other did not.
