Auto show season may be ready to kick into full swing, but auction season has only just begun, too. Barrett-Jackson and Mecum are preparing to offer up some of the best classic vehicles across the United States but, today, we have six that should tickle your fancy.
Each of these six Chevrolets have been massaged over by Yenko and will appear for auction at Mecum Kissimmee between the dates of January 15-24.
First up is this 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Chevelle.
Sitting as 1-of-99 ever produced, this 1969 Yenko Chevelle features an L72 427 cubic-inch, 425 hp V8 paired to a four-speed manual transmission.
Next up is a highly-optioned 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro, one of the greatest masterpieces Yenko is known for. The same L72 427 cubic-inch, 425 hp V8 is found under the hood here. It’s also paired to a four-speed manual, too.
Super Car Workshop has restored this 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro to a time-period correct standard, making use of of its 427 cubic-inches for 425 hp. We’re quite liking the green color seen, too.
Here we have a second 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Chevelle, except this one is all original. Merely 30,087 miles adorn the odometer, and the Chevelle has not undergone any restoration. Mecum states it is also extremely well documented.
The last of the Yenko Camaros is this 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro in white, which has remained original since it was sold new at Jack Douglas Chevrolet many years ago. The same 427 cubic-inch, 425 hp V8 is also alive and well, too.
Finally, a real rarity. This is a 1970 Chevrolet Yenko Deuce. The Deuce, based on the Chevy II, only saw 175 units produced and is powered by a potent LT1 350 cubic-inch, 360 hp V8. Power is sent through a proper four-speed manual gearbox.

its a shame the only one to afford these cars will park them in a museum or private collection and never drive them, what waste of nice classic cars.
The problem is that when you drive these types of cars and trucks it becomes more expensive to keep them, the up keep on these are really not the problem. The problem is with other people leaving these cars and trucks alone. I have a old truck and I cant tell you how many times someone has hit my truck.
That’s fine just go out an buy a new or used ZL-1 Camaro and kick it’s ass while you have the air, stereo, and navigation on. I had a 1969 COPO Camaro back in the day for the times it was bad but in today’s world it cannot hold a candle to what is coming out of Detroit. I love people who say they would drive this car everyday. What they don’t realize is to keep that thing running like it is capable you will be spending more than a few hours under it’s hood. If your a nostalgic car guy that is no big deal but if you are a little long in the tooth that get’s old.
in 1969 these cars were meant to be driven. Sure a new car has a lot to offer. But driving a classic (working under the hood and all) can’t be beat. Not as a daily to work driver now. But the weekends, after work etc. no one can say a car sitting under glass is doing anything but collecting dust. They were never meant to do that. Please someone buy these cars and enjoy tem, Not in some private garage.
