Revell - Fast & Furious 1969 Chevy Camaro Yenko
It's one of the most unforgettable scenes in the film series: Brian O'Conner wins this blue monster in a risky "pink slip" race. The 1969 Chevy Camaro Yenko plays a central role in the finale of "2 Fast 2 Furious" when he spectacularly jumps onto a yacht. With this kit you not only bring a movie car, but the "Holy Grail" of muscle cars into your workshop. This 1:25 scale model perfectly captures the raw power and aggressive design of the original. It is a challenging project (Level 5) that will delight experienced model makers.
History:
The car is a star in the film, but its real-life history is just as fascinating. Don Yenko, a former race car driver and car dealer, was not happy with the performance of the stock Camaro. He took advantage of a loophole in GM's ordering system to transplant the Corvette's massive 7-liter engine into the lighter Camaro. Only 201 examples of these "Yenko Super Cars" (SYC) were built in 1969. Today they are considered absolute rarities and fetch millions in auction prices. Revell now brings you this dream car as a detailed model.
Features:
- Cinema history: Recreate the exact vehicle that Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) drives in the second part of the saga - including the famous SYC stripes on the hood.
- Technology in detail: Under the hood awaits a precise replica of the legendary 427 c.i. (7-liter) engine including manifold.
- Authentic look: The body impresses with its beefy shape, complemented by spoilers and the true-to-original “2 Fast 2 Furious” decal sheet.
- For experts: With 92 pieces and level 5, this kit is a challenge that requires patience and skill when painting and gluing.
- Muscle car icon: Even without the film reference, the Yenko Camaro is one of the most sought-after US cars of all time.
