Every single Yenko Stinger is legally a Corvair, with a VIN tag and Body tag from GM. My insurance company has no idea what a Stinger is, but they insure plenty of Corvairs. Mike YS-117

They are included. No Yenkos were built overseas. Approx 190 Stingers, including UPS/ later conversions. 100 ‘66 COPOs, 14 ‘67 COPOs, 1 ‘68 COPO, 1 ‘69 COPO. Mike YS-117

Brent - you touched on another topic - ‘67 110’s. Many people have experienced the ‘67 110 phenomenon and can’t explain why they seem to run better, but it is fairly well documented. I have a ‘67 110 that runs very strong as well. I’ve been into it some, and nothing seems out of the ordinary, but it feels like it has 10% more than a regular 110. This is a different motor than my 110 with 95 heads

I have 95’s on a 110 bottom end with a 319 distributor. Runs very well. Just use a 319. Mike YS-117

Stingers had factory steel wheels. Race cars had widened rear wheels, IE 13x7’s. Early on, racers bought Minilites in 13x5.5” and 13x7” variants. These were because the SCCA rules dictated only those 2 sizes. In the early 70’s, some other manufacturers brought 13x7’s to market. I have a set of 13x7” Dayton Moto-pro 2 piece (3?) wheels. For modern replacements, larger diameter Minis and copies

A trusted expert messaged me that there were some LOS ‘66’s built in early April as well. Learned something new today! Mike YS-117

I believe LOS Corvair production ended at the end of March ‘66. Mike YS-117

It’s pre ‘66. ‘66 has a clip on he interior control that holds the cables on. This one has the screw with a star washer. I’m pretty sure it’s a ‘65. Mike YS-117

Ken - The one you have on 318 is a Yenko lid. It has the bar that the hinges mount to on the inner panel. The one in the ad has an inner panel that is made from a mold taken off a stick steel panel. It does not have a bar molded in to mount the hinges. They must be affixed to the underside of the outer panel. Mike YS-117

It hasn’t spent a day outside since September 2003 and I even put a correct 140 in it last year. I’m waiting on some floor parts from Steve Morton (rear seat pan), then I can put the new fuel line in I made last year as well. Mike YS-117

No, Not an original Yenko lid. But, try to find another one right now… Mike YS-117

I did that back in the day, but with a 110 added to a motor that had 95’s. I did grind down the bump some, but it was indeed one of those, gotta drive it to work tomorrow nights. I could never tell the difference… Mike YS-117

I can send you a tested working (can send a video) AM Radio with ‘65 buttons for $45, shipping included, from Virginia. No face plate or knobs, or I can include an OK set - not show quality. Mike YS-117

Do not overfill the transaxle. It will overcome the input shaft seal and ruin your clutch - quickly. I like to run it about a 1/2” below the fill plug on the diff, as measured by my middle finger stuck in it, with the car mildly jacked up on the drivers side. Mike YS-117

Just over the mountain (Lexington), I buy 93 ethanol free at the Southern States Farmers Co-op. My daily is a .030 over 140 with an OT-10 cam. It’s 4.51 a gallon and I fill up once every 3 weeks. The cost of tearing into an engine and replacing head baskets, plus my time, would have to get a whole lot cheaper for me to be worried about saving $10 to $20 a month on it. Mike YS-117

I have 4 of the ‘67-8 500 emblems in average condition, a rear seat heater vent and an untested ‘68-9 AM radio. Drop me a PM and I’ll send you some pics. I’m in Virginia and shipping has been harsh lately. Radios are not too light, just warning in case you live in Alaska or California. Mike YS-117
