huh.. its ACTUALLY a turbo car (a lot of people in the 80s liked using the turbo moniker with no turbo present) (a turbo 305 but still..).. interesting.. neat.. strange..odd.. cool.. and REALLY ugly..lol.

Very cool and very ugly too.

A cool car, I like it a lot. Though the front spoiler is maybe a bit much (and it's an auto..)

Kinda cool, but $179k buy it now? "Step away from the crack pipe!"

eeeeeeh; Now if it was a '69 Yenko, that'd be different!

Very unique, but don't know if I would be willing to pay 179k

I wonder what kind of numbers it puts out....I'm guessing not very good.

Couple of thoughts:

Can't deny the unique coolness factor of the car
Damn that front bumper looks big/silly
Needs wider rear tires
Whole car looks brand new
Hose nightmare under the hood

What Yenko started with was a Z-28 Camaro, which came with a 175 horsepower 350, backed by a 350 Turbo Hydromatic transmission (which happened to be the only trans available behind the 350). While the 350 was unimpressive in stock tune, it provided the perfect foundation for a turbo. Both the Stage I and the Stage II versions got the extra "help" via the turbo, but for those who wanted a truly "all around performer", Yenko had the answer for that as well: The Stage II. So, falling back on what they had learned from years of racing experience, the boys from Canonsburg concentrated on key suspension components, such as the stabilizer bars, and threw in a set of Koni shocks for good measure. The end product was a car that would turn in 14 second ETs in the 1/4 mile, but still hang in there with the best of them when the road got curvy. All while enjoying the radio, with the A/C cranked, and with good gas mileage to boot! The '81 Turbo Z's turned out to be the last supercars that rolled out of Yenko Chevrolet, with a total of 19 being produced.

THe Turbo must be blowing inbelow the carburator on the passenger side of the engine. Do not see it on the driver side.

definitely unique

If you go to the ad, you can see the turbo. Its passenger side, right up front in plain view.

Ugly but unique!

I like the 78-81 camaros as I have one myself

That front bumper always reminds me of the mask from the movie "scream"
Just has that prolonged scary look to it and blacked out eyes (headlights bezels)
