Wow, in that add, the Stormer Z/28 was quite a jump in base price compared to a Yenko.

Any Stormers known to exist or even to have been built?

How well did Yenko do with his Stormer program? Let's put it this way: The production of 427-powered Super Camaros that Yenko's shop built in 1967, at just 54 units, dwarfs the Stormer output, which amounted to two cars. One, painted red, was sold to Indianapolis Chevrolet dealer Bud Gates, who was part of Yenko's performance dealer network and already owned a Yenko Stinger Corvair. The second, in Marina Blue, was ordered by a Florida racer named Bill Boye who befriended Yenko while they raced Corvettes at the Nassau Speedweeks.

I'm not surprised to see the big difference in build numbers when you look at the price difference between the 427 cars and the Z. 54 to 2 LOL

If I saw those price differences back then I'd go right for a 427 too.

Thanks for that Joe. That certainly helps to explain why.
