Rusty...junk...yeah, I guess so. </div></div>

Huh...I denied owning a Yenko Vega?

I have no idea what you are up to, but it is obvious I made the right decision by not getting invovled with you.

Tom, I see you quoted me twice and wanted be sure you know I was just trying to figure out if tom999p was talking about you. I meant no offence to you or your red stinger by repeating what tom999p had stated.

No offense taken. And yes, I do have a Yenko Vega.

Does Jack Markam still own the blue stinger? I am still looking for one to purchase.

[Schonyenko2]

I think there's one in Neb. but I doubt it's for sale. The owners an original deuce owner. Yellow even. Probably on the transport with mine.

Hello. I am the person that Marlin is talking about. I have the Wasp Blue Vega. You can call me to discuss if you want:

Ken Halvorsen
402 430 9682


To my knowledge, no one knows the volume of Stingers produced. Nor is there a list of the dealers that sold them. Mine came from a dealer in Cincinnati. I have the build sheet, protecto-plate, etc.

I will give you a short information dump of what I know. If someone has more information than I or thinks they know something different, that’s fine.

There are 5 stingers I know of in existence now:

A yellow one in Canada
A Blue one in New Mexico
A Blue one in Iowa with the wrong engine (LT1)
A Green wagon on the east coast – in Florida I think
And mine

None of these cars are turbo cars. A little history on the turbo cars – the turbo cars were basically a stock motor with forged dished pistons for the added heat and pressure installed at Yenko. The turbo came in the trunk and was to be dealer installed.

The standard Stingers had engine options which included an Offenhauser 4 barrel manifold and a Holley 365 cfm carburetor and a header as well. Probably the coolest part of all is a cast aluminum valve cover with the Yenko emblem.

Both cars had anti-hop bars bolted on to the rear end. Other than that, they were basically a GT with the badges removed. Cute little cars, but still a Vega.

Hope this helps a little. Anybody thinking it would be cool to have one of these cars, but can’t find one, should look for a Cosworth. There abundant and a lot more fun to drive.

Hey Ken post some pics of the deuce. This is one kick but car. Those sidepipes are just COOL.
Someday we need to get a shot of the two SF deuces together. How about a road trip to the Heartland nova reunion in June?

Sorry bout the hijack. Was the exterior sheetmetal on the 71 and 72 Vegas about the same?
