Seems like it is the stand out favorite of most collectors and car geeks of all kinds. On top of the regular Camaro stands the ultra rare COPO cars. You know the ones. The ones, you go into the dealer and give him the magic hand shake and a wad of cast and you could order up a car unlike the normal run of the mill buyer.

What’s better than a COPO?

Now, if you were really cool in 1969 a regular COPO wasn’t enough, you wanted a Yenko Camaro with the big 427. Bright yellow with black stripes would be a good choice of color. Then what did you do? You tweeked it, you wrenched on it some more and then went to the drag strip.

Here is the ultimate in street legal Camaro. It is a 427 Yenko Dragster with Cliff Ernst name on the side. Sit back turn up the speakers on your computer and listen to this special Chevy sing to you.

One such collection is by invitation only and is located outside of Nashville, TN. It is the private collection of Clifford Ernst. At onetime it cantained the largest number of Yenko Camaros in the World.

Cliff started his collection when he was disenchanted with eth amount he was offered as a trade-in on his 1973 Corvette, so he kept it. He now has 40-50 cars, specializin in Yenko Camaros. He also has 1955-57 Thunderbirds, Super Duty Pontiacs, Shelby Mustangs and even a 1932 V12 Packard.

It is housed in a very nice building where he also has fulltime employees busy restoring his next car, a 1969 Pontiac Trans Am.

We currently have photos of the collection posted on our site’s Museum Page, just Click Here.

In the very near future we will be posting videos of many of these cars being fired up and shaking the building with their wonderful sounds.
