'''Yenko Chevrolet''', located in [[Canonsburg, Pennsylvania|Canonsburg]], [[Pennsylvania]], was one of largest custom [[muscle car]] shops of the late 1960s and early 1970s. [[Don Yenko]], son of the dealership founder, first ordered special [[Corvair]]s in 1965. When the [[Camaro]] entered the [[pony car]] fray in 1966, Yenko transplanted [[Chevrolet]]'s 427 [[cubic inch]] (7 L), 425 [[horsepower]] (317 kW) L-72 engine (along with other high-performance parts) and created the [[Yenko Camaro]]. The cars were so popular that, in 1968-69, Yenko used Chevrolet's Central Office Production Order (COPO) system to have L-72 engines installed into Camaros, [[Chevrolet Chevelle]]s, and [[Chevrolet Nova]]s on the factory assembly lines. The high performance and limited production of all Yenko-customized cars makes them valuable to collectors.
