Default 1974 Camaro Z/28 sold by Yenko Chevrolet

Interesting history and order codes on the 1974 Camaro Z/28 sold by Yenko Chevrolet
Original owner Dennis "Denno" worked at Yenko Chevrolet and Yenko Honda

Don Yenko helped with modifications on the Z/28 including cam change and change to early LT-1 intake and Holley carb.
Yenko crest emblem on the rear

1974 was during the transition from the dealership in Canonsburg to the new RT 19 McMurray location. This car had to be among the last Camaros to go through Yenko Canonsburg

The original window sticker has the Canonsburg address

interesting codes on the window sticker shows B2G delete base radial tire 103.65CR (credit) and B2H interim equipment change .

more information on owner Scot Winskye's FB page

Very cool! Looks like it still has the original grille too. I may have to breakdown and go on FB to look.

I think the most surprising thing is that the LT trim pieces that fall off easy are still in place on the rear tailight panel. You rarely see those remaining on any 74 LT -z28

historical significance aside on this car, I could never get over the hideous 5mph bumpers they put on the '74-'77 Camaros. Of course all of the car manufactures were dealing with the ridiculous new federal mandate at the time. Some did a better job than others hiding them.

I get the hate for the '74 and beyond bumpers, but for some crazy reason I just dig the '74.......even moreso than the 70-73. Can't explain my insanity.

I have always liked the 74’s as well and would buy one if I could find it! Makes 2 of us that are crazy!

the window sticker has RPO " B2G delete base radial tire 103.65CR (credit)"

I looks like it was some type of special code to delete the tires and give a $103.65 credit.

I have not found any info on this RPO except one that was used later

B2G components of IROC-Z package

There is no comparison between 70-73 and 74. The 70-73 are extremely sexy cars especially the rs front ends.
