Carmel Artomobilia
Last Saturday my Yenko Stinger Canadian Prototype was in an invitation only car show in a suburb of Indy. Shelys were the featured cars , so we were surrounded by Cobras and Shelby Mustangs.Each car made sort of a parade lap down Main Street on the way to our assigned space. We were about 20 ft. behind a 427 Cobra on the drive...all the spectators were stunned at the sound of the Stinger after seeing and hearing the Cobra. Warren D. and I reproduced the Gulf Oil Research headers for the car...long tubes, large dia. collectors , originally designed for Elkhart Lake with its high speeds. A lady came by asking about the car's Canadian history...said she was a good friend of Copo Pete.... had a nice visit with her. We ended up parked next to a 1920's Miller Indy car...forerunner of the Offy. Several million dollar car ! Very nice event.
