Hello all Yenko fans.

I'm Nick Stokes the previous owner of the Vega Yenko Stinger that my friend Mike, AKA MrBeef gave to a good home.

I was the second owner of this car and purchased it sometime around 1975. I paid the previous owner $1800 and drove it through high school until I graduated in 1976 and joined the Air Force. After basic training I returned home and brought the car to Wichita Falls TX, then to Luke AFB in Phoenix AZ (KDKB bumper sticker) and then finally to Shaw AFB in South Carolina. When my orders to Germany arrived in 1980, Mike and another friend came to trailer it back to WI. It has set there for the last 20 years. My military life, now in its 27th year, did not allow me to keep a stable of cars, although I've tried. My hobby now is classic Volkswagens and I repair classic auto radios for these and other cars.

I know this was one of three Yenko Vegas around Monroe Wisconsin in the mid-seventies. A green, yellow and my red one. To my knowledge it was purchased from Thorstead Chevrolet in Madison WI in 1971.

I'm now stationed at Langley AFB in Virginia. I'll try to find some pictures and post if anyone is interested. Feel free to email me or ask questions here and I'll try to answer.

Cheers,

Nick
