The 7-movie Fast & Furious franchise is the most popular series Universal Studios has ever produced. In the second Fast & Furious movie, the competition heats up. While it doesn't win in the movie, the Yenko™/SC Camaro® is a real winner today. In 1969, Don Yenko ordered unique Camaros under the special GM COPO program. 201 Camaros with L-72 engines and other performance extras. Kit features detailed 427ci engine and tube headers, front and rear spoilers, cowl-induction hood with matching air cleaner, chrome parts, and soft black tires.

Illustrated instructions
The Yenko Super Camaro was a modified Chevrolet Camaro prepared by Yenko Chevrolet, developed by the dealership owner and racer, Don Yenko.
When the Camaro debuted, a General Motors corporate edict prevented it from carrying an engine larger than 400 in³ (6.6 L) V8. This put the Camaro at a disadvantage to the Ford Mustang, Plymouth Barracuda and the Dodge Dart since neither Ford nor Plymouth/Dodge had such a limit (although Ford only had a 390 Mustang in 1967). Don Yenko and others knew there was a market for a more powerful Camaro and found ways around the GM limit.
Yenko ordered L78 equipped SS Camaros and swapped in the Chevrolet Corvette's L72 427 in³ (7.0 L) V8. The cars came with a 4.10 rear end and heavy-duty suspension. The approximate number of cars produced is 106. Yenko also installed a fiberglass replacement hood similar to the "Stinger" hood featured on 1967 big-block Corvettes. The Camaros were equipped with a M21 transmission. The horsepower was rated at 450 hp (336 kW).
Encouraged by the success of the 1967 model, Yenko continued to produce his Yenko Super Camaros for 1968. The 1968 Yenko Super Camaros started life as Super Sports with L78 396 in³ 375 hp (280 kW) hp engine and close ratio 4-speed Muncie transmission. Yenko also ordered the cars with COPO 9737 which included a 140 mph (230 km/h) speedometer, a larger 1 1/8th inch front anti-sway bar, and a special trim tag. Yenko swapped out the factory 396 in³ short-block for the L72 427 in³ 450 hp (336 kW) short-block reusing the rest of the 396 in³ engine's components including the heads, carburetor, intake manifold, etc. He swapped the stock hood for a twin-snorkel fiberglass hood and added Pontiac's 14"x6" steel wheels with special Yenko caps, Yenko emblems gracing the front grill, front fenders and tail panel. 427 emblems were added to the tail panel and front fenders as well. The cars had a Yenko Super Camaro serial-numbered tag in the driver's side door jamb and Stewart Warner pedestal-mounted tachometer and gauges were installed in the interior. Early cars got a rear spoiler made for Yenko and later cars all got the factory spoilers front and rear. The recognized production number for these cars is approx 64 cars converted, with well less than half of that number known to exist today.
For 1969, the dealership worked with Chevrolet to have the L72 engines installed on the factory assembly line using a Central Office Production Order, or COPO. The orders included power disc brakes, spoilers, cowl-induction hood, a 4.10 Positraction rear end with gears that were heat treated for strength, a bigger front sway bar, and a heavy-duty 4-core radiator. Buyers of the car had the option of either the M-21 four speed or the Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. A total of 201 cars were sold in 1969, 171 with four speed transmissions and 30 with automatic transmissions. Yenko rounded out the visual package with special "Yenko 427" badges, stripes down the sides and hood, and the sYc (Yenko Super Car) on the headrests. According to the Camaro Research Group, standard black interior (code 711) was the only interior ordered by Yenko in 69.

The blue is just too sweet ANOTHER ONE OUT OF THE PARK Chris
New Revell kits are so much fun to build . They are engineered very well.
Great model, great music that’s the way it Ought to be😊
Those Revell Camaro kits are the 👌 best
I believe I have 5 different variations of it but need to add this one.
Hopefully they will do a drag version of a factory Racer like the Baldwin Motion or Nickey ones
Enjoy!
@@hpiguy what type of liquid glues are you using.
In my opinion, one of the best kits, Revell had made. I love it and built it a couple times.
Well built! Keep up your work Chris. Happy new year 😉
This is one of your best builds ever, IMO. This is a weirdly equipped ‘69 Z, PS, PB, tilt steering column with the standard plastic steering wheel instead of the beautiful 3-spoke wood rim wheel? Odd.
things, GM washer bottles were white plastic, translucent so the fluid shows through. Also that steering wheel was all-black.
One of Revells best kits ever…
Thanks man!
For me, this is the most hot and yet, the sweetest Camaro of all times. Chris, you've created a masterpiece.
LOOKS FANTASTIC BROTHER, Thank you very much for sharing your builds we really enjoy and appreciate your videos. They're great so please keep em coming. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE it's a hobby and it's suppose to be FUN.
Thanks!
Can't go wrong with a '69 Yenko Camaro!!
Nice kit unboxing, review, and build as usual, Chris. For your readers out there not familiar with the 1969 Yenko Camaros and not mentioned in the kit description/write-up, Chevy only offered six (6) factory color choices: Daytona Yellow, Hugger Orange, Olympic Gold (the rarest color choice), Rallye Green, Fathom Green, or LeMans Blue. All cars came with black interiors, but you could opt for a black vinyl top in lieu of a body-colored roof. Not sure though what the production numbers break down to between the two choices. In addition to applying the Yenko 427 badges and SYC headrest decals, Yenko Chevrolet gave the customer the choice between the black or white striping package which were applied at the dealership in Canonsburg PA. I can see me eventually buying at least six of these kits to build, one in each color...LOL. 😀👍🇺🇸
I've got one that I'm going to do dark micah blue. I have to wait until warmer weather to paint though. You are very knowledgeable in this car. You must be a fan.
Vandelay! I enjoy your fine latex goods!
@@hpiguy // Don't forget I'm a pretty good Architect too...LOL! 😀👍🇺🇸
@@artvandelay0073 Seinfeld. You guys masons?
@@jrod66ify Yes, of course...
I remember your first few videos (The small sailing ships which I have built.). Your presentations are getting slicker and more detailed and they are hardly pedantic- just great. Thanks
Glad you like them!
I really liked watching you put it together. It was different but, nice to see you do it. Thank you
Absolutely awesome job that color sets that car off!
talkin' 'bout the super detailers,
i myself am one, but at one point you told me i could go and whine,
i realise YOU are right,
you yourself have come a million miles since then, you do detail way more than you used to,
BUT,
where i strive to make show cars, you weather stuff and make it look convincingly well used, like you always say, BUILD FOR YOU!" looks sweet!
Yup, if that makes you enjoy your hobby I say go for it!
I always make remarks aimed at the guys who complain about EVERY kit on the market and those who demand everyone else build the same way they do.
I know you're a "chill guy" but MINUS SEVEN - you've made your point, come inside and warm yourself by the crumpling cellophane (fake fire on radio shows). You've inspired me to return to models. Every Saturday, after watching one of your episodes, I then model build. This Saturday, I'm so into it, I started modeling BEFORE hpiguys Workshop. I'm back having FUN, inspired by your consistent builds. Thanks, Chris,
Thanks a lot man!
Nice build - love the color of that car. Thanks again.
Thanks!
Always an inspiration. I really admire the way you build models. Regards from Brasil.
guess i forgot about this kit being built in good condition chris this is a very nice kit thumbs up for don yenko r i p my good man nice job to you chris too . john
Everything about this build is just beautiful. GREAT job.✌
Thanks!
I really liked the fit-up & subassembly portion of the review. It was nice to see more of the assembly of the model.
Thanks, I'm trying to add more of that as I go.
I remember the last Yenko Camaro I saw on here was an old wrecked one - love the factory fresh restored look of this!
Yup, the AMT kit I roached out, so this one I wanted to do newish.
I just finished the Revel USA version myself last week. I painted mine in bright green metallic. I’ll have to see how you set the engine. Mine would not sit properly. Interesting - my front grill was with the chrome section - I used Tamiya’s black wash to darken it.
The exhaust on mine did not have those locating pins.
My instruction sheet is nothing like what you had. Mine had a bit of guess work to deal with.
Nice seeing the building of the kit now.
I like to install the lower valances prior to paint and if it creates too much pressure on the body i shave the sides and ends of floorpan to facilitate. More assembly shown in this video, very nice!
I just got the 1969 camero RS from hobby lobby, cant wait to build it! I like your color selection, it looks sharp!
A nice build perfect color
I think so too!
I am down state from you and winter is a great time to be creative such as modeling. Modeling is an artform/creative outlet. I enjoy your videos.
Yes!
I wish it would get cold enough to snow here in my hometown of Cocoa Beach, Florida. It's 71° here but suppose to get some rain and colder weather tomorrow but it's Florida so who knows what is going to happen.
I'd love to live somewhere that I can be outside in shorts daily.
Maybe some day!
@@hpiguy let's trade for a little while hahahahs, I have to warn you though because the summer heat and humidity will melt your brain. Maybe that's why we are always in the news doing something stupid
This is a great looking kit. And again you out did yourself. Love it when you say build for you. You feel better doing it for yourself. Who cares what other people think, it your model built your way.
wow those Revell Germany manuals are superb
good job on the model
Thanks!
Awesome Build Chris! Looks Amazing! I have the Original version of this kit with the 302 Cross Ram set up! Yes! It is a very Beautiful and well detailed kit!
Another entertaining and informative video. Really impressed by the dry brushing on the floorpan and firewall and the results it gave you. Definitely going to have to try it on a build someday. A couple of notes about the 2 Fast 2 Furious movie car. It was not equipped with the Atlas wheels seen in your video, but rather factory sized Cragar S/S wheels. I found a nice set in the Revell street machine release of the 1967 GTX. And the movie car had the Year One decal in the rear window and the Year One front license plate. Both B.F. Goodrich and Year One were companies with product placement in the film and front and center on this Camaro. Not trying to be (an obnoxious) rivet counter, I just think it might be info someone might be interested in if they were trying to replicate the movie car as closely as possible. Along these lines, the movie car was also equipped with a small block 350 instead of the correct for a Yenko 427 that comes with the kit. All part of that "if you can't see it, we're not going to worry about it" Hollywood Magic.😅
Very nice build. Nice job Chris
Thanks for stopping by!
i have a bunch of kits that go back to the 60's my uncle gave me a lot of kits from when he was a kid i put some together but then i got into real cars and stop building kits still have most of them left . i put a b-24 together and put a light in the bomber bay for a pool table light
ps have u seen the new chrome paint they have now it looks like real chrome
Nice! I liked the rusted crusted one you did but personally I prefer this one. Good job.
Yeah, the AMT version, that was a good time too!
Yep, Beautimous Yenko Camaro! Another good one bud!
One of my favorite words. Pedantic.
I love it!
I wish my Polar Lights '64 GTO was this "part replete" especially when it comes to the clear head lamps and chrome backing like you see with your Yenko kit, Chris! I have never seen such detail involving head lights. Like the PL GTO they are just part of the chrome grill and look fake as hell. Love this video! I have not really started my '64 GTO but I wanted to something kind of special so I have removed the roof using a Dremel tool and I will build this one into a drop top. Wish me luck!
Great build as always, very sharp looking 1969 Chevy Camaro😊❤👍
Glad you like it!
Another great build of a well engineered Revell kit. You did a great job building the kit with the exception of using Revell silver on the transmission instead of Testors silver. Lol.
I’m currently building a Revell Germany kit of the ‘78 Chevrolet Corvette. It is basically the same as the Monogram version, but like the Camaro you built, the decals are expanded. Revell Germany kits are just awesome.
Thanks for sharing a build of this wonderful well engineered kit with us. Your videos are well appreciated. I’m still looking for a hpiguys T-shirt to proudly wear, and a sticker to place on my model toolbox. I totally understand the issues with taxes, but you will make enough money that the taxes won’t be an issue.
Camaro turned out really nice. It drives me crazy that a lot of these 60’s, 70’s, 80’s Chevy kits don’t have power steering pumps though.
the designers never have as a rule done that, and MOST cars out there HAVE power steering
when we were young, we took all of that off because it robbed horsepower but now gas and oil is expensive, AND WE'RE OLD,
WE can see the reasoning in having it all on the car
I was just outside in Florida in nothing but shorts and barefooted 🌞. Nice model 👌.
Very nice!
Chambered exhaust option. They didn't miss a trick.
Hello I've been watching your videos for a while now, an inspired me to do this size of cars so I purchased the Revell 68 chevelle, 69 yenko camero f&f, 68 charger, built the chevelle no problems just the camero having issues with the inside engine bay fitting a couple of parts as the instructions aren't very clear
Awesome job,think that's first time you showed building.Keep on building
Thank you, I will!
I agree! Its cool to see you build them up too. That way if you hit a snag during assembly it would interesting to see how you overcome it. Especially with your bright ideas! I got a 60 something camaro in my workshop, thanks for inspiring me to get crackin at it! Awesome post! 😁
had a Pontiac 1970 I dropped the speedometer at 140 mph no kidding it was my 3rd car
silver pen for the trim pretty smart . always used a fine brush , definitely a harder method lol
Good job Chris
I think the kits from Germany are made better, and you made it look perfect!
Looks awesome brother!
Stay warm in the frozen north. We had snowpacalypse here in the south over the weekend.
Yeah, now it's -35 windchills here again. Silly weather.
I had left the exhaust ends unglued as I could not get that rear body panel to sit inside that opening you showed there with them glued in place
Sweet build! We got almost 7" here in Waterloo, Iowa .
Another excellent video Chris!
Your the best
I have a much earlier release of this kits, molded in bright yellow plastic
This sure was a cool kit!!
Nice video. Buy I do like the way they put dom on the box. Wasn't this car on fast n furious 2 which he wasn't in. Anyway saw a real one at a car show. Really nice cameros not common here anyway let alone one of those.
Thanks!
Hopefully Revell Germany comes out with the Peterbilt wrecker again. Great model to build.
nice work again chris
Five degrees here in Michigan, I’m working on the amt snowplow today.
My interior had the rear seat moulded into the tub already. Also the dash board on your is considerably more detailed than on my version.
Is yours possibly the AMT kit? AMT did a version of this exact same movie car.
@@jasonrothgeb6071 - no, it’s a Revell kit. Like Chris replied, different model - I think his was a Revell Germany product and mine was definitely Revell USA, thus a different mix of parts.
@@Wild-Dad What is the copyright date on the kit, and what does the box art look like? This kit was first released in 1990 and there have been many different releases over the years. Z-28, Pace Car Edition, Baldwin Motion, Yenko and on and on. I love learning about all of them.
@@jasonrothgeb6071 - I'll check but I cant send photos in these comments.
@@jasonrothgeb6071 - the date on the model box is 2016 with Revell's Elm Grove address in Illinois. As thought I can't include a photo of the box top.
My best description is Fast and Furious logo "official movie merchandisr" diagonal at the top left corner. Black, green and blue colours behind the image of the car. The colour of the car is of a dark grayish blue with white stripes on the car.
Looks good Chris great job buddy
Thats cold
not as cold here today, but we are approaching 20 inches of snow and still coming down
Nice!
We got warm (20s) for a week and today we're back to -35.
Aren't YOU Lucky...-7 degrees...UP HERE IN MONTREAL CANADA IT'S - 38 degrees!!!😱😱😱😱
ya no why them Yankovic cars was all ways at a gas station it was a big engine that's what I've seen so far, but still don't matter I allways wanted one
I missed the Testors silver on the transmission😃
Simply amazing how you can get the decals to just slide into place. Not my experience by any means. Decals are the hardest part from my experience. So Chris, can you do a vid where you demonstrate your technique with decals? I think it would be very helpful myself. ok I get it, it's not what your channel is all about. Just askin. 🙂Your models always come out spectacular. Love your work.
Thanks!
I've demonstrated it in dozens and dozens of videos. Wet the decal and slide it off. It really is that simple.
If they aren't sliding easy, you aren't letting them soak long enough and not using enough water or decal solvent on the model.
Try one drop of dish soap in your warm water dish next time and give the decals a minute to soak.
Enjoy!
@@hpiguy I bet that's what my problem is, I'm not letting them soak long enough and when I get them on the model they're very hard to move and I end up tearing them. When I've tried Microset the decals have disintegrated, shattered. I don't know why, maybe it was the decals themselves in those cases or again I didn't let them soak long enough. I should make a point to test it on one that is less significant off the sheet first before using it on the more important decals. Thanks for the tip!
Beauty Chris! Love the seat belts, and everything else. Nice colours! Have a great day! Model on!
Chris that’s an OUTSTANDING build!!! Everything looks great so many kits so little time. Wish I could crank them out like you. Achieving the finished product is the fun part. Hard to find the time. Great watching you build! Thanks!!!!!
As long as you are having fun, that's all that matters. One kit a year or 100+ like me, it's all about the FUN.
Thanks for those kind words Chris! Have FUN!
I think I built this same kit 30 something years ago it was a yellow with flat black hood on the box.69 yenko Camaro kit from revell
Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful build, love that car a lot, thanks for sharing
Very cool might have to get that kit
Great job
It's the Chevy camaro a muscle car was in the movie 2 fast 2 furious and Paul Walker was in that blue Chevy car.
Great build!
Great job mate 👍
Camaro,s are sexy body shape, reminds me of the 71 Monaro here in oz as usual you have done an excellent job building yours, cheers 👍🇦🇺
That is a truly awesome color! Sorry to get off subject, but do, or perhaps know anyone that might have or make side view mirrors for the 67-69 Chevrolets? Camaro, Chevelle, Impalas? I’m building a 67 Camaro and I’ve searched all I know how, but I’m not familiar with enough builders to know who really to ask. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Nice job!
Good job
Nice video! You should build the mack r685st by amt. just starting mine its pretty awesome
Another great model. Love your videos and your tips on painting. 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you very much!
Excellent build sir !
Not a fan of Fast and Furious but that is a nice kit! Have to get one! Great job as usual!👍👍👍
Great Vid...how do you touch up the paint after removing from the spru tree?
Nice
Is the brush on glue a new thing you are doing? I don’t recall u using that before. Is it messy? What type is it? How is the bond? I’d love to know more. Amazing build by the way. You make it look so easy!
Liquid glues usually brush on or you can use a syringe applicator. I haven't used the thick tube glue since I was a kid but a lot of people still like it.
Interesting many of those engine parts in my version were chromed.
Very nice build!! What color blue is that?? I’m finishing a 53 Studebaker. Has been a blast. Painted it Metallic Apple Green. It’s probably the coolest color I have used.
Nice job & great build. And how often do you get to use "pedantic" in a model review? 😜
Ha! Thanks!
Seems lately it's my favorite word.
That is a considerably more detailed decal page but mine had two stripe colours - white or black. There were no seat belt decals and there were no decals for the tires.
It's not the same kit. There are different variations.
@@hpiguy oh I figured that - every new iteration of a kit usually has a revised decal sheet.
I was just making a comment that while its the same kit (a 69 Yenko Camaro), that it's interesting that Revell Germany's version has more detailed decals but the US version gave you optional coloured stripes.
Just like the point of what i had also commented on regarding the plastic parts - what was chromed and what wasn't. My US kit had quite a lot of chromed engine parts as opposed to your version which had hardly any.
I only have one question about this kit. am building the same one, and on the decals for the dash it shows the three gauge decal you cut in half but where does it go there's no place to put it.
Another beautiful build Chris, really enjoyed the video mate. ☺️👍
My exhaust was “short shot” on both sides!
As always, a great build. I noticed that you are using the Revell colors instead of the Testor colors. As good, about the same or not quite as good as the Test or. Just curious.
That manual is nice. Good job Chris...stay warm in Wisconsin. From a Cowboys fan, I just wanted to say, "Go Packers."
Thanks!
How long does the floor shine last on your models?
Another great build. You have inspired me to return to this hobby after a few decades away. I am going to try some Rustoleum 2X paint for the body and I am wondering what if any clear coat you are using?
I've seen him use future floor polish on his kits.
Another great build Chris! What is the liquid glue you used during the build that you applied with a brush?? Happy new year!
Bondene is my preferred glue, modelroundup.com carries it.
