You’ve never seen a 1981 Yenko Camaro? Perhaps because only 19 were made and they usually sell for well north of what a new Chevrolet Camaro will cost from your local dealer.
A beautifully restored, matching numbers example is up for purchase on eBay Motors for the eye-watering Buy-It-Now price of $ 180k. But please consider the history of the car and claimed stat sheet before passing judgment.
As the legend goes, in 1969, Yenko Chevrolet in Murray, Pennsylvania has taken a break of 12 years from the Camaro modding. But the low compression engines 80s got under the skin of Don Yenko, and in 1981, the development proceeded substantially to cram a turbo four-barrel 350 V8 under the hood of the second generation car. Power on rare Yenko is unclear, but it should definitely much more than the stock Z-28 with under 175 hp. Reports suggest that this cargo was to be the grand finale of Yenko build and the owner of this site eBay says this is the very 1981 Yenko produced.
