Here is some information that Bob sent me recently. With so many
car lovers in the group, thought that you might enjoy this pic and info.
The red Yenko Stinger shown. Is the only documented red 1966
Yenko Stinger ever built at the Yenko dealership. It was built. Because
Canadian SCCA racing colors were red, and white till 1984. It's Yenko door
jamb tag # is YS-101. The blue one. Is one of 11 1967 blue COPO one's
ever built. 4 still exist. It's Yenko # is YS-108. The white 1969 COPO
Stinger. Is the only 69 Stinger ever built. Ford had GM build the car off
of the production line. As it was built strictly for off road use only. And
couldn't pass any emission, or safety standards. Then shipped to the Yenko
dealership for completion. Ford was developing a small race car. That
required a 13-inch race tire. That could run in the 130, to 140 MPH range.
Ford didn't have a car on 13-inch tires that could operate at those speeds.
At just under 8,000 RPM's in 4th gear. With no NOS, or turbo charging. Just
173 cubic inches. I've had it on the Talladega track about 8 years ago.
With an average lap speeds of 142.2 MPH. 138.4 with the right window down.
To listen to it next to the outside wall. When I got it. I got an odometer
statement from Goodyear showing 2234 miles. All these miles were run on
Goodyear's 5-mile oval test track in West Texas.
I have full original documentation on all 4 COPO Stingers. All 4 have
their original bodies. ( YS-099. A white 66 not shown )With no rust
repair. The 69 was on the cover of Hemmings, Classic car magazine. May of
2013. There are 5 pages that are dedicated to the 69. In a new book out
now. COPO. By Matt Avery. My other Stingers are covered in the book also.
I very actively road race all of them. The 67, and 69 have both received
gold awards. 950 or more points out of 1000. At the by invitation only.
MACN Muscle Car Corvette Nationals in Chicago every Nov. The blue 67 has
been on loan at the Chevrolet Hall of Fame Museum for the last year.
Shipped it to the Muscle Car Corvette National show last Nov 22,23, and 24.
To be displayed with the 69 Goodyear Tire Test car, my extremely rare GM
built go kart. Plus, the GMC was featured in the show. There were just over
3400 spectators toured the GMC. Then I got the blue 67 shipped to the
Albaugh collection for a special display. ( Check out that collection on
the web) Getting it back in May. For a track event at Virginia
International Race Way. }The Corvette Museum in Bowling Green has asked for
all 3. For a special display in July.
My collection. Is the only collection. That has an example of all 3
years built. And the only collection of all 3 colors. Real COPO Yenko
Stingers. Have been selling in the $250,000 range, and up at recent actions.
