Video: It Looks Like A Yenko, But Has 509 Reasons Why It’s Not

Eric’s Muscle Cars presents a nicely-done, ’69 Chevelle pro-street “Yenko” with a 502 motor, turbo 400 trans and full, quarter-mile setup.

Built to only the highest muscle car standards, the Yenko Chevelle lookalike features a GM 502 big block bored-out to a 509 with a full, roller valvetrain, Holley 850cfm 4-barrel, a serpentine belt system and less than 1100 miles clocked since the motor was built from top to bottom. The Chevelle also features Kook headers, Flowmaster 44 Series mufflers, and a 3″ exhaust system.

The pro-streeted ’69 is driven by a turbo 400 trans with a reverse manual body and 3500-stall with trans brake. The rear is a 9-inch with Moser 35-spline axles and 4.10 gears, and the car is brought to a halt via 4-wheel disc brakes. Helping the Chevelle to keep power on the pavement are a set of 33 x 22 x 15 Mickey Thompson drag radials, with weld wheels from Pro Star to fill-in the empty spaces.

The pro-street’s paint has been described as an “8” on a 1 to 10 scale, though the chrome is said to be clean throughout. A set of Auto Meter gauges adorns the car’s stock interior, and the car receives fuel via a 20-gallon, aluminum cell with a filter and sending unit. A straight pro-street build, this ’69 Chevelle has never been run down the strip, and all of its body panels are said to be “laser straight.”

A meticulously-built street-and-strip performer, this ’69 Chevelle has “pro street” written all over it, yet every piece has been executed with the attention of a show car.
