The Yenko Super Camaro was a modified Chevrolet Camaro prepared by Yenko Chevrolet, developed by the dealership owner and racer, Don Yenko, and subsequently aided by special parts ordering directly through Chevrolet. The Yenko dealership did not merely install performance parts, it also made modifications and provided race track ready tuning.
Jay Leno in a video has declared it "the bible for Yenko Stinger owners". When Camaros, classifiable as a "pony car", became available in 1967, Yenko transferred Chevrolet's 427 cubic inch (7 L), 425hp (317 kW) L-72 engine (along with other high-performance parts) into some Camaros, creating the Yenko Camaro.

He added a turbocharger to 350 in 3 (5.7 L) engine. In addition to Chevrolet, Yenko dealerships included Porsche, Audi, Fiat, Honda, Subaru and Saab.
