Using the Corvair as his starting point, Don Yenko created his first 100 Yenko Stingers in 1966. This number was required for homologation in the SCCA D Sports Racing Class. Modifications included stiffened suspension and the customer's choice of four engine packages. This is serial number YS 086. It was produced as a race car, while most of the production were road going cars.
This car won the SCCA Central Division Championship in 1966, piloted by Jim Spencer. Its racing career spanned 23 years, as it was still being raced by Ron McConkey when the present owner purchased it in 1988.
Following a 13-year restoration effort, the car has been shown very successfully with the most recent recognition being: People's Choice - Yenko 40h Anniversary reunion
MI-Lion Award - Meadow Brook Concours.
