Up for bid is my 1966 Chevrolet Yenko Stinger Corvair. Please note that this is a TRUE, DOCUMENTED Yenko and is NOT a clone or tribute car. Yenko Stinger 054 (YS-054) is completely restored to original condition, just as delivered to Yenko Chevrolet in late 1965. This is a Stage II "Street Stinger" with just a few ticks over 56,000 documented miles. It is a VERY rare and significant car. The Stinger was Yenko's first car that he went through the COPO process through and let to his Camero's, Chevelles, Novas, Vegas etc. The Stinger Corvair is the ONLY car he specifically modified for road racing. YS-054 is one of the original 100 COPO Corvairs ordered by Don Yenko and convered into his intended for road racing Stingers. I encourage you to go to Yenkostinger.com and/ or Yenkostinger.org for further knowledge and research on Stinger Corvairs as well as the official registry. It is estimated that approximatly 60-75 Stingers are still in existance today. WAY fewer are original, documented, numbers matching cars, in their original tub like YS-054. I purchased the car from owner #2 in the spring of 2007 in Indianapolis Indiana and immedietly began its nearly 5 year restoration. Much of the front (drivers side) floor was rusted as was much of the bottom portions of the car. (inner fender wells, tunnel cover, front and portions of the rear suspension). Otherwise, the car is in its original body, fiberglass sail panels and decck lid, has its original (numbers matching) engine, transmission, and posi-differential. The car is highly documented and purchase will include the original Protecto-plate, and lots of YS-# affixed to the drivers door jamb, and paperwork including original order form and repair/ work orders made from Yenko Chevrolet. One of the documents is signed by Frank Yenko (Don's father and original owner of Yenko Chevrolet). This particular car came as a radio delete car from the factory but the original owner purchased and had an AM radio installed. He also upgraded the car with Michelin tires at time of purchase. Additionally, he added a Grant steering wheel from Yenko within a few months of purchase. The car is pictured with 15" steel wheels and Toyo Proxy tires. This is for driving purposes and the sale does include the original 13" steel wheels and a set of well used 13" tires. During restoration the car was completely stripped, body work performed (replaced inner fenders, floors, and some damage around the front windshield and rear window). The engine was completely rebuilt as well as the transmission, differential and suspension all by Corvair Specialties. All crome (in and out) was re-cromed to show specs. Stainless was straightened and polished. During restoration the original windshield was cracked during removal and replaced. ALL other glass on the car is original. The dash and gauges were sent to Precision Dash and Gauges and rebuilt/ restored. Original milage was not tampered with during gauge restoration. Everything works properly and as it should. That includes all electrical. The horn, all exterior and interior lights, turn signals, radio (though it does not pick up good reception, it does turn on and off with static) clock- (though it keeps poor time), odometer, wipers, glove box light, etc.This is a rare opportunity to own a true and VERY rare Yenko car. YS-054 was recently awarded 1st in class at the Dana Point Concours de'Elegance (2013), and has various other awards and appearances in car shows. Please call or email with additional questions. (949)370-2142. Serious bidders only. The car is being offered for sale locally and on several collector car sites privately so the auction can be ended early. I encourage you to come and inspect the car or have a representative perform an inspection. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Title will be signed and transferred after funds are cleared and deposited into my account.
