Yenko Stinger

Taken at the Wyoming Exotic Wheels and Wine car show held in the Wyoming suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

From the web:

 

Don "Yenko, a former road racer, also used the COPO system to get a Corvair equipped with choice bits from the factory, and then he further modified it at the dealership for street use and SCCA road racing. Calling it the Stinger, he built 115 from 1966–69."

 

I had a friend who modified his Corvair so that it would really scoot although I don't remember exactly what he did to it. If this car was built for SCCA racing and was competitive, it's speed would probably amaze people on the street.
