Default Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale

I hate to bring it up, but because of the number of cars Yenko had produced/sold, the federal goverment (EPA) considered Yenko a manufacturer. That is why he was unable to sell his Vegas with his turbo kit. He was told that he would have to comply to the same rules as Ford, Chevy, etc and run the required 50,000 mile test. Following numerous discussions, threats, begging, etc, Don finally gave up and shelved the project. The paperwork related to this makes for some interesting reading. Joel Rosen ceased producing his awesome cars (at least for sale in the US) for the same reason. I believe Joel is quoted as saying that the fine was $10,000 for every infraction. Tom
