Don Yenko was famous for building big block COPO Chevrolets during
the height of the muscle car era. However, Don was also an
accomplished SCCA road racer. It was years before he became famous
building the SC 427 Camaro's that he modified that the first Yenko
Stingers were produced. Yenko built a road racing sports car to
complete against the likes of the Shelby Mustangs and 911
Porsche's.
Operating from his small Canonsburg, Pennsylvania Chevy dealership,
Yenko would build the required 100 Stingers to compete in SCCA
racing events. When completed, each Stinger would be issued its own
serial number plate.
Yenko upgraded the suspension with stiffer springs, Monroe double
action shocks and Cadillac brakes. All Stingers were available in
IV Stage models. The Stage IV being the most powerful of all models
producing over 240 hp. Fiberglass panels were also utilized to
lighten the Corvair based cars.
Approximately 115 Stingers were built between 1966-1969. In 1967
Jerry Thompson won the SCCA D production title in a Yenko
Stinger.
Offered is probably the rarest of Stingers produced by Don Yenko.
