Default Re: Jacks vega

Yenko did a COPO on the Vegas for special HD (turbo) pistons and also had a bunch of aftermarket parts made for them.

He may have had other items in the COPO but that is the only special item I have heard of.

There were at least 2 Yenko Turbo Stinger Vegas built. They were both road tested in magazines with B&W pictures
(one was a dark color the other was a light color).

Yenko promoted the Vegas through his hi po dealer network where they would install the turbo kit on one to demo the car. At least one dealer did this.

The 1973 raffle car was promoted as a Yenko Turbo Stinger Vega and had the Turbo decal installed in the pictures but not the turbo.

I was told that the winner was given the option to have the turbo installed or to get a rebate check and the winning young couple took the check.
