Tom, does this one have the original motor with the turbo charger option? Schonye

Schonye; the car is missing its original motor/trans. And, by looking at the car and talking to mike, it was not a turbo car. Also, becasue of federal regulations, Yenko could not sell cars with the turbo unit installed, it had to be ordered seperate. And, according to documents I have, I am not for sure if Yenko even sold any kits. I do have turbo unit syc-001, which appears to be the only Vega unit there is. It is complete with instructions. Just need to decide if I will put on, or maybe just display with the car. Of course right now I am along ways from that point.

Tom, at least two Yenko Stinger Turbo Vegas were built. Both were road tested in a magazine. One was a prototype. Yenko had "Turbo" decals made and put them on the car after the word "Yenko" on the Q panel. I have one of the original decals. The guy who road tested the car was a salesman at Hory Chevrolet.

Joe; It is possible more then two (prototypes) may have been built, as I have pictures of several different versions. they differ in which turbo was used, Rajay vs Schwitzer, and also in the look of the Yenko Turbo Stinger Stripe. There was more then one variation of the stripe. When I said none were built, I was meaning for sale to the public. Not only was Yenko having trouble with the EPA, but also with Swititzer, who was to supply the units.

Cool find. It is in a good home now. Hope to see it even in its raw form. How about a few builders at the reunion!..BKH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
