1972 YENKO VEGA

[JoeC]

Here is a picture of a yellow Yenko Stinger Vega prototype. The stripes are different then the production car. I have another picture of this car that shows a Chevy Manufacturer license plate on it. Chevy was working on turbo cars in the early seventies. They also had a prototype turbo Nova that was in a magazine article. Jerry Thompson was a Chevy engineer who drove the Yenko Stinger (Corvair) to an SCCA Championship in 1967 and he stated in an article that he remembers working on a turbo Vega at Chevy. Maybe Don was given info on the turbo Vega after Chevy decided not to market the car.
