132883 / 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Yenko Turbo Z

For more information on this vehicle visit If you’re a hardcore Chevrolet enthusiast who is looking for the ultimate centerpiece to your collection, or a classic car guru who’s been searching for unique investment opportunity, this exceptional F2 Camaro is your ticket! This car’s one and only owner had been following the progression of the Turbo Z program very closely. And when he heard production numbers had dwindled to a fraction of Yenko’s original goal, he decided to take a trip to the showroom in hopes of picking up a future collectible. After some light negotiation, a few signed papers, and some firm handshakes the proud owner took possession of one super rare F2 Z28 that he would immaculately preserve for the next 30 years. When it was finally time to sell, Pair-A-Dice Rods and Kustoms in Zanesville, Ohio was contracted to complete a highly detailed, nut and bolt rotisserie restoration which used 2011 technology to rebuild the car to concours condition. Pop the glossy white lid and you’ll find an original, completely rebuilt and highly detailed 350 cubic inch LM1 V8 which wears a correct 14010207 casting number and a February (B) 27th (27) of 1981 (1) casting date. Air for that big engine flows from a chrome, open element air cleaner to an original Rochester Quadrajet carburetor which rides on top of an original Turbo International turbocharger. Below that turbocharger, a fresh coat of traditional GM Corporate Blue paint coats the block from its Yenko branded valve covers to its original oil pan; and fully restored exhaust manifolds send spent gases into a factory replacement, single-pipe dual exhaust system. Fires are lit by a correct Delco-Remy HEI distributor which sends spark through blue Max Protection plug wires. Cooling is provided by fresh hoses which snake to and from a heavy duty radiator. And charging is provided by new V-belts which spin a new Delco AC compressor and a rebuilt alternator behind a heavy duty seven blade clutch fan. The car’s high-winding small block is backed by an original Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed automatic transmission which wears a matching 124749 partial VIN; and the bottom of its body is covered in a smooth coat of GM satin black paint. That stalwart TH350 spins an original GM 10 bolt rear end which is stuffed full of highway friendly gears. And those floorpans ride on a fully restored F41 special suspension that, for 1981, added higher rate springs, thicker stabilizer bars and stiffer valved shocks. Standard equipment with the F41 suspension was improved ratio power steering which combines with standard, to the Camaro, power front disc and rear drum brakes to provide excellent stops and confidence inspiring handling. At the center of the floors, freshly welded single pipe dual exhaust exactly duplicates the car’s original system all the way down to its AC catalytic converter. And at the corners of the floor, 15 inch Turbo White Rally wheels spin beefy 225/70 BF Goodrich Radial T/As around satin stainless trim rings and Yenko decaled center caps. Swivel open the car’s long white doors and you’ll find a well-maintained black vinyl interior which looks just as good as the day it rolled out of GM’s Norwood, Ohio manufacturing facility. The standard black bucket seats are in excellent shape and feel as if the only seat time they’ve seen is moving the car in and out of its garage. Below those seats, like-new black carpet is protected by custom, color-keyed Yenko floor mats. At the sides of those seats, fresh, stainless trimmed door panels hang super straight armrests below chrome door handles and chrome switches for optional power door locks. Between those seats, a wide black console props a familiar chrome shifter above a satin finished trim plate and chrome switches for optional power windows. In front of those seats, a soft and warp-free dash hangs satin trimmed gauges next to a Yenko installed boost gauge, color-keyed water level indicator and correct radio delete. And in front of the driver, a simulated rope steering wheel centers a Yenko horn button atop a black tilt steering column.
