Saw this '67 Corvair Monza "Yenko Stinger" model for sale on E-Bay.
Boy the price of vintage models has dropped to almost nothing in the last couple years!

+++ Glenn ++ the '' Models"" may be getting cheaper, BUT, the <<<< Real Car's >>>> sure are not !!!!!... ......Kasey

I agree with Kasey,

...<<< AL >>>, I HOPE YOU WILL STILL LOOK AT BUYING A '' STINGER '', I DON'T OWN A YENKO STINGER, BUT I REALLY LIKE THE CORVAIR I'VE GOT, SEXY OR NOT, THEY ARE GREAT CAR'S, FUN TO DRIVE, IF YOUR NOT IN TO BIG OF A HURRY..HAHA KASEY



The REAL cars are going up fast. I have YS-199, a 67 Stinger that has always been a race car and has 4 log books of history. I just picked up YS-070 this last week. I have owned 7 different Stingers over the last 23 years. They slowly went up in price and over the last 5 years have really taken off in price. No one is wanting to turn loose of any. The only Stinger convert. just sold again in the last 2 weeks for close to 6 figures. A solid street Stinger is now bringing 30-40k when one pops up.

They do not have the big bore sex appeal of the Camaro's, Nova's or Chevelle's, but they do stick out like a sore thumb at a show and can be a chic magnet.

If you found one reasonable, you better pick it up!!!

As for the Vega (it being very cool in it own way), the only thing it was a magnet for was rust.........

Yes get a write up and send it in, my wife and I have had corvairs for many years. when I met my wife in high school she had a 66 coupe, 110hp/4spd. corvette yellow , cragers . it was cool.I have a photo somewhere, she had to teach me how to drive a stick
from time to time she enjoys driving my car . she prefers the torque of the v8.

Welcome to the forum Lauren.

Thanks for the welcome, guys!
My Vair I recently inherited, it was my great-grandmother's car - her fave color was purple, so when she passed an Evening Orchid Corvair on a used car lot she had to have it! It's been my dream car ever since I can remember; I'm lucky it's been garage-kept. My fiance [C1SS396] just wishes the solid old car had been a Cor-VETTE I'll have to get a write up together.
