Yenko Stormer

What is the date on the Stormer ad?

I have a theory about Yenko Stormer but just a theory. The Yenko Stinger was built to satisfy the SCCA rules which required 100 units built and approved as a two seat sports car. In the eyes of SCCA it was not a Corvair but was a Stinger manufactured by Yenko Sports Cars Inc. You needed a Stinger ID tag to race SCCA D Production class. Now here is my theory. In 1966 Yenko planed to build a car called the Stormer based on the Camaro to meet the 100 minimum to make it legal for SCCA. This later became unnecessary because SCCA came out with a new set of rules for Trans Am which required 1000 minimum. Chevy did the Z/28 to meet the rules. Only 602 Z/28s built but SCCA allowed them to race anyway. Yenko built some race prepared Z/28s but the Stormer program didn't progress because you did not need a special built Camaro to race in Trans Am class. Just a theory.
