Default Yenko YS # problems...........

I have Yenko Stinger Corvair # YS-100. I'm the third owner. I have met and spoken with the previous 2 owners. My car came from Yenko with the YS tag on the door pillar as YS-101. I have all papers from day 1, including the original order papers. The car is # 100 from papers and trim tag unique to the first 100 1966 Stingers. Suddenly a Stinger numbered # YS-101 appears on a list on the internet. Anyone knowing these Stingers , knows that #YS-101 does not need to be anything special.....it can be any Corvair with any trim tag. ???? My car came from Yenko with #YS-101 on it. The papers and trim tag CLEARLY show it is #YS-100. What to do about this situation. ?? I had the supposed #YS-101 owner getting ahold of me in the past.... trying to trade me a #YS-100 tag for a #YS-101 tag. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rick

p.s. Also from inside sources from Yenko.........it was well known that Yenko did NOT have 100 Stingers when the SCCA came around counting heads on the 100 Stingers..........that Don did NOT have 100 Stingers and that they were switching YS tags and running them around the building to make it look like they had more than 100 Stingers.

A little further background.....................I've owned this car since 1987, done alot of research since then, talked to people who worked for Yenko back then. When I did All this...........it was before self proclaimed Yenko experts knew anything about a Yenko Stinger Corvair.

You are confusing us. Are you saying active members of this site are not on the up and up about the Yenko's ? The Stingers or all Yenko's ? People from somewhere else ? Help....

Who else is confused If your car's paperwork say's it is 100 then why do you need 101 tag?

If it came from Yenko with 101 tag on it then why didn't it have 101 paperwork?

I would think that if you had paperwork that proved what the car was, then that would outweigh what the car could be.

Because his car came from Yenko with tag 101. A mistake from Yenko that I think is neat that nobody has tried to correct. My old 68 Yenko has tag # 8013 but on the vin list it is listed as #8012.

Charley,
Was that the blue '68 Yenko that Goldberg has? Did you ever drive it with that RamRod 4 shifter on the street? I'm trying to decide if to use a new one that I have for my '68 Camaro? Or maybe just put in a Comp. plus?
