Nice detective work Marlin. I looked at the Stinger Corvair Registry and it shows Span Inc. as the original owner of Stinger YS# 034 and 086 and J. Spencer as original owner of Stinger YS# 038. In the CORSA magazine interview with Donna Mae, she states that Jim Spencer had a heart attack and crash while driving a Stinger but she also admits her memory isn't the best. She states that Jim died about five years later of a heart attack. An ex-Yenko employee mentioned something about a wrecked Deuce sitting behind Yenko's and also remembered Don's wife crashing one of Yenko's Corvettes.

Marlin
Could the 1970 454 engined Yenko car possibly be the all Aluminum 454 engine I talk about in an earlier post here dated March 30th? Just a Different dealership may have taken Yenkos idea or their own one step further.I have that same ad in February 1970 HotCars Magazine page 9.
