If you owned an authentic ’69 Yenko convertible, it would most likely seldom see the light of day. For Tom and Diane Pattan of Brooklyn Park, Maryland, they enjoy devouring the miles in their immaculately cloned blue metallic that’s packed with a heavy-breathing 427 filled with TRW slugs, urged on by a Comp Cams stick, and sucking air through a Holley 850 cfm carb. The American racing Torque Thrust –D wheels are just the final icing on the cake.
This just-completed ’68 SS owned by Greg Hess of York, Pennsylvania, is set on “kill,” thanks to a perfectly designed stance from Detroit Speed & Engineering, complemented by a combination of 18- and 20-inch Billet Specialties wheels topped with Nitto rubber. Awash in Butternut Yellow, it gets plenty of go from a stroked 383-inch small-block topped with aluminum heads.
 Without a doubt, the nastiest,...  Without a doubt, the nastiest, most badass Camaro of the weekend belonged to Duane Durbin of Mount Airy, Maryland, whose Torch Red ’68 SS could be heard close to a mile away as it motored into the inlet.
 With quarter-mile times hovering...  With quarter-mile times hovering at 8.66, you can only imagine the ground shaking its Shafiroff-built Donovan block-based 632-inch mill creates. Built over the last 10 years, the car is downright fierce!

 Tony Villarreal’s Daytona...  Tony Villarreal’s Daytona Yellow ’69 SS/RS looks like it’s awaiting a workout as it sits parked at the inlet. With a hot small-block under the hood, houndstooth interior, and Boyd’s wheels topped with aggressive rubber, you just know that this one is built for handling.
 The inlet was packed all weekend...  The inlet was packed all weekend long with bitchin’ first-gens, including Terry Beadencup’s ’69 Z/28 and Stewart and Ann Dierolf’s ’68 Z/28 seen here hangin’ out together.
 It’s easy to tell that Richard...  It’s easy to tell that Richard and Michelle Woollens’ ’69 is all business, starting from its six-point cage and full instrumentation inside, to its built small-block getting its go from a Pro-Charger D2R supercharger.
 Another new-generation Pro-Street...  Another new-generation Pro-Street ’68 owned by Ed Thomas of Cambridge, Maryland, sports a full tube chassis, custom dash and interior, massive cowl-induction hood, and incredible attention to detail, accented by a dramatic coating of bronze pearl.
 Some cars just have The Look—like...  Some cars just have The Look—like Lee Edwards’ ’67 SS drop-top. Coated in Riverside Gold, rolling on 17-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels shod with Kuhmo rubber, and urged on by a 350/4-speed combo, it’s a real attention grabber.
 From Haymarket, Virginia,...  From Haymarket, Virginia, Jason Morrow’s ’68 Z/28 is a breath of fresh air with its ready-to-roll stance thanks to Rally wheels and BFG’s, perfect green metallic body, and interior filled with a four-speed, console and gauge pack.
 Loaded with little custom...  Loaded with little custom touches offset by a tasty coating of yellow pearl gloss, Ben Shaw’s ’69 SS rolls on American five-spokes, while inside it features a houndstooth interior, four-point cage, and B&M shifter.
