there are pictures around of a yellow turbo stinger vega with aluminum wheels that may have been a prototype as the stripe was a little different on it then the production stripes </div></div>

Joe, are you referring to Mark's orange Stinger, or the prototype? Of all the &quot;early&quot; Stingers I've seen, the yellow one with the non-production hood stripe was the most commonly publicized. There was a Turbo Vega road test in Super Street Cars (April 1972) that states the car ran 15.2 but Yenko told them it can get into the 14's. If memory serves, this was the yellow car, which Mark had pictured in front of his car from the McClurg book. Other than that, I have seen pics of a sky blue Yenko Stinger (that more closely matches the description above) but don't think it was ever turbo'd.
