Yenko YS # problems...........

Thanks Earl!! What you said was my first thought years ago. It is the way my car left Yenkos shop. A person was trying to convince me that someone had originally lost my number 100 tag, and had replaced it with the number 101 tag. They were also trying to convince me that my car having the 101 tag on it casts a shadow, and doubt on my car. They said they would just leave the tag off, if it were them. This same person also told me that all of my documented racing history from 1966 thru 1972 added no value to the car. Shortly after these people couldn't buy my car......was when one comes up with the # 101 car. I guess he got the car with some kind of papers, but no tag on the car.

That's a really good looking Corvair.

Nice Homepage too.

I agree with Earl...that tag is from that car and thats where it belongs...so I guess someone made a YS 100 tag too ? The history on any car is extremely valuable...what a silly thing for someone to say...

Yes that is the car. It had a Vertigate shifter. Worked great once you figured out how to use it.

Ed Cunneen, who heads the COPO Connection. is big into Stingers, maybe he can help you out. Possibly even issue a certificate with the right numbers or something.

Thanks Tom. Only thing I can say...... I don't do any business with Ed.

...I agree with keeping the tag that "came on your car"...
...

...as for Ed... I always had a lot of help from him and still think he has been a great contributor of information and knowledge for plenty of people who visit this site
...and I have had absolutely no problems with him

...but everyone has their own reasons and I am sorry you feel the way you do about him....and I'm not asking you to explain why you feel that way....good luck

Sounds like they JUST WANT YOUR TAG???? If you had my tag and I didnt have one but I found the car that matches your Tag Id probably want it too....but I wouldnt lie to you to get it.....RACING HISTORY is what made these cars what they are!!!!! PERIOD !!!!!
