1966 Yenko Stinger for sale

Stefano; slow down and think about what you are saying. To me it does say that he ordered them, they hit the ground and they would not sell! Both Don Yenko and Donna Mae Mims have been quoted as saying that the cars became very hard to sale, due to the high cost of insurance. Much like was done on some the ZL-1s, Yenko even considered replacing the 427 with a less expensvie engine. Jim Mattison told me that the original order agreed to between Frank & Don Yenko and Chevrolet was for 500 COPOS. But, because of sluggish sales, Chevrolet allowed Yenko to reduce the order. To Jim's knowledge, this was the only time that this was allowed. (Gibb's situation with the ZL-1s was handled a little different). Are you quoting Jack as saying that the cars were hot sellers through out the entire model year? If so, we will need to rewrite the history books, because the accepted fact has been that these cars were next to impossible to sell by the end of the 1969 model year. Tom
