(The SCCA and other racing organization (ACCUS namely) had annotated the national racing colors for the United States as white/blue stripes. All racing cars from the U.S. were painted that color to differentiate them from other countries (which all had their assigned colors). The rules were changed in 1967 and any car from any country could use whatever color they desired)

Yenko Stinger YS303 Is one of the most documented CS Yenko Stingers, riginally owned by J. Bristow and later acquired by Al Huston who spent over 25 years loving this beautiful CS Stage 1 Yeanko Stinger. Al has been credited with owning and maintaining one of the nicest Yenko's in existence, during Al's ownership YS303 became one of the most well known Stingers YS303 was often seen at Corvair and other various classic sports car events, uch is noted in his log book. This amazing car is now for sale.

The car is road/race set up. It features competition prepared cylinder heads topped by Zenith 40TIN Triple Throat Carbs, enko Stinger lightened flywheel with 1500 pound pressure plate and Kevlar disc, 9.8 compression ratio. Four spider diff with minimal end yoke play and 3.27 gears. Heim jointed lower bars. Stainless brake flex lines with dual line master cylinder. Aluminum drums in front. Quick steering arms. Five point seat belts. 13X7” steels wheel with 205-60X13 Sumitomos. Auxiliary oil cooler with custom spin-on filter adapter. Custom air cleaner unit housing is modified to draw from the fresh air plenum behind the rear window instead of through stock rear-facing snorkels and Saginaw transmission.

For the most part Yenko cars had 3:55 gears. Some were built with 3:89 gears. YS 303 has the tallest ratio (3.27) to make it more conducive to drive as a road car. Upgraded Saginaw gear box. The motor in Y/S 303 has an Isky 280 degree cam. It has steel tube equal length primary tube headers. The diff does not have a posi set-up as it isn't necessary unless it is being set up for full competition since it has a rear weight bias which would negate a loss of traction to an inside rear wheel. That set up would be more desirable in a more weight balanced car such as a front engine rear wheel drive.

This car sale includes spare parts include carb rebuild kits, askets, pair 205-60X15 Goodyear Gatorbacks, pare heads similarly set-up for triple throats.
