Description

Description YENKO STINGER The Yenko Stinger was tuned by legendary hot-rodder Don Yenko. who was looking to beat Carroll Shelby and his Mustangs in Sports Car Club of America races. Like all Yenko Stingers originally were. this one is painted in American racing colors: white with blue stripes. Later. they were allowed in both red and blue. The six-cylinder engine uses four carburetors delivering about 200 hp. mated to a four-speed manual transmission. All the chrome. both inside and out. has been pulled. polished and replaced to show the original specs. The interior looks great. the roll bar and racing badges are amazing and add to the excitement of this car. The vehicle. chassis No. YS303 is listed in the Yenko Stinger registry. It's one of the few rare-certified cars to exist today. It has 53. 09 miles on the odometer. everything works. including the horn. all of the electrical and the AM radio. which is an aftermarket radio an original radio could be refitted if desired. Yenko Stinger YS303 Is one of the most documented Yenko Stingers. originally driven and raced by J. Bristow and then acquired by Al Huston who fully restored the Stage 1 Yeanko Stinger. Al owned it for over twenty-five years. it is now for sale. The car is road/race set up. It features competition prepared cylinder heads topped by Zenith 40TIN Triple Throat Carbs.

The Chevrolet Corvair was never recognized as a prominent performance machine. but that didn’t stop Don Yenko from wanting to go racing with it. Yenko entered it in SCCA racing events. but in order for it to qualify at least 100 of the cars had to be modified for production-spec racing. The modified cars became known as the Yenko Stinger. and only around 70 of them exist today. Now you have the rare opportunity to own one of the nicest examples in existance.
