Re: Yenko Stormer
The Stormer(Price) was advertised on the Span Inc. Brochure along with the 427 Conversion Camaro and the Yenko Stinger.
It was a very expensive car, almost $1,000.00 more than the 427 Camaro if I remember correctly ,which IMO would point to a full race prep. set up.

Re: Yenko Stormer
Thanks for the replies guys. JoeC, I agree with your thoughts on the Stormer based on the description of the car given in the Span ads. For the price, I'm sure most people would have opted for the 427 cars for street use. I think I recall that Yenko got at least 3 '67 Z-28s, but I doubt that they would have recieved a dozen, and even if they did, it is doubtful that these all would have become SCCA cars. I have heard rumors of another '67 Z in my home town that has been tucked away for 20 plus years and it definitely is not one of the 14 Canadian cars. The Stormer ad that I saw says, "Come see the Yenko Stormer" at the local Chev dealer. This leads me to believe that they actually brought at least one Stormer into Canada. The search continues...

Re: Yenko Stormer
Mark,
The Stormer was a "turn-key" SCCA race car. The number I have heard is that three were done for '67. I have no idea whether that is factual or not but I'm sure that number is a lot closer to reality than twelve. Mo Carter had one of the very earliest '67 Z28s and he got his through City Chevrolet in Hamilton, Ontario. Maybe his car had some prep done by Yenko. He did not ever run an official Trans Am race with it but ran in the A/Sedan class on both sides of the border. I have attached an ad for the Stormer dated mid-February 1967. The price was $5900 for a ready-to-run race car. -Jon 1967 Z28 street car 1967 Z28 Trans Am race car 1967 Z28 Registry

Re: Yenko Stormer
Hi Jon,
Thanks for the response. You could be right about Carter's car as the local ad is from his dealership. Thanks for attaching the ad - that pretty much covers the package doesn't it! Have any of the Yenko Z-28s been located? Take care,

Re: Yenko Stormer
Mark,
The 1967 Z28 Registry is into the 180's and no Yenko Z28s accounted for so far, unfortunately. -Jon 1967 Z28 street car 1967 Z28 Trans Am race car 1967 Z28 Registry
