Yenko YS # problems...........

YenkoYS100 · #1 03-18-2006, 06:47 AM

I have Yenko Stinger Corvair # YS-100. I'm the third owner. I have met and spoken with the previous 2 owners. My car came from Yenko with the YS tag on the door pillar as YS-101. I have all papers from day 1, including the original order papers. The car is # 100 from papers and trim tag unique to the first 100 1966 Stingers. Suddenly a Stinger numbered # YS-101 appears on a list on the internet. Anyone knowing these Stingers , knows that #YS-101 does not need to be anything special.....it can be any Corvair with any trim tag. ???? My car came from Yenko with #YS-101 on it. The papers and trim tag CLEARLY show it is #YS-100. What to do about this situation. ?? I had the supposed #YS-101 owner getting ahold of me in the past.... trying to trade me a #YS-100 tag for a #YS-101 tag. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Rick

p.s. Also from inside sources from Yenko.........it was well known that Yenko did NOT have 100 Stingers when the SCCA came around counting heads on the 100 Stingers..........that Don did NOT have 100 Stingers and that they were switching YS tags and running them around the building to make it look like they had more than 100 Stingers.

A little further background.....................I've owned this car since 1987, done alot of research since then, talked to people who worked for Yenko back then. When I did All this...........it was before self proclaimed Yenko experts knew anything about a Yenko Stinger Corvair.

You are confusing us. Are you saying active members of this site are not on the up and up about the Yenko's ? The Stingers or all Yenko's ? People from somewhere else ? Help....

Me naming names is not going to be constructive in this thread. If these people want to chime in... they know they are free to.

Getting closer... I guess that means they are active members of this site.

There are more cars with door tags that do not match paperwork. The people putting the tags in the doors were not concerned with matching them up. When six cars went out. Six tags went on. It happened on camaros as well.

As long as you have documentation for your car. I would never give up the original tag for the right number. Earl

Thanks Earl!! What you said was my first thought years ago. It is the way my car left Yenkos shop. A person was trying to convince me that someone had originally lost my number 100 tag, and had replaced it with the number 101 tag. They were also trying to convince me that my car having the 101 tag on it casts a shadow, and doubt on my car. They said they would just leave the tag off, if it were them. This same person also told me that all of my documented racing history from 1966 thru 1972 added no value to the car. Shortly after these people couldn't buy my car......was when one comes up with the # 101 car. I guess he got the car with some kind of papers, but no tag on the car.
