Re: Yenko stingers
Thanks for the information Joe.I just ran across an add about a vega set up for a small block chevy so I asked for a picture of the car and this is what I received.It never hurts to ask! I figured that it was probably some type of tribute car or something but it looks like a pretty nice little car and the paint is suppose to be original.I am going to go ahead and look at it and if it is really nice I may just buy it to build a nice little smallblock for it and run the fire out of it!LOL Thanks a lot for the information I knew you guys would be able to shed some light on it.

Re: Yenko stingers
The color does indeed look like the correct blue... If that's original paint its gotta be one of the best preserved Vega's I've ever seen. The Yenko cars were said to have started to rust while still on the lot in 1971/72!

Re: Yenko stingers
The guy said it was an original paint car and has been garage kept since new.It does look really clean.Hopefully the weather will let up here and I can look at it tomorrow.If it is as clean as it looks it may have a new home.I am trying to come up with a story to tell the wife whay It had to come home with me! LOL I will try to hide it but I know she wil find it in a day or two.

Go to the last few pics on this page to see a blue stinger. I think the stinger was only offered in the hatchback and the kamback, but I'm not sure.

Re: Yenko stingers
I like it too...very cool!!! .
The louvre vents in the deck would indicate a '71...like some other GM products had that year. . Although not as popular, I always thought the notchbacks were cooler than the fastbacks...kind've a base car thing. . Thinking about it now, were all the well known Drag cars a fastback or any notchbacks of fame?? . Back in the day they were everywhere here in Canada...Astres too! . They didn't do well here in the rust belt and I haven't seen one in a long time either? .  ~ Pete
