Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr>
It is understandable that Don would be angry if someonewere to disregard his SYC process and make their own cars. It was not right back in 1969 and not right today. SYC manufactured the Yenkos not Chevrolet.IMO <hr></blockquote> Joe are you saying that Jack Douglas illegally made copys of these cars????????? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
Why was Don angry and why did he want to fly to Douglas and kick his butt? (As per Donna Mae's memory)I guess because Don would rather have had sent the Yenkos through normal process. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
Joe,
I couldn't agree with your post any more. Where we differ in opinion is that Jack Douglass was a positive part of that history, especially since he was familiar with Yenko and his exploits as a United States automobile Manufacturer and racer from the roadrace courses, where they both spent time. The only reason the racing Stingers and Shelbys were painted white up to including 1966 is that those were the colors designated for the United States Mfgs.,like Green for the British cars and Red for the Italian Mfgs. The L72 Iron block Super Cars are that which evolved from the efforts, ideas as well as passions of Don Yenko, just like the 428 Cobra Jet Shelby Mustangs were the eventual evolution of the first Shelby hand built race cars. Great post! |

Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
sYc was a manufacturer? What are you smokin, Joe? Did the titles say Chev or sYc? Yenko was a transplanter/modifier/converter but by no means a manufacturer. Did he have an assembly line and build these cars from the ground up?????? I have read every post in this thread and thought most were informative or at least had some kind of validity, but you, sir are way the HELL out there! GM made the damn cars, Yenko converted them. A retraction is in order!

Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
What he said was SYC manufactured the YENKOS not the Camaro itself....and I agree.

Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
Joe I still do not understand how it was illegal. It has been established through this 170 post thread that they had SOME type of aggreement may it have been spoken, written, etc. They had agreed that it would be permitted as long as Don recieved a royalty.
As far as what you said about Don being a legit manufactuer like a GM, Ford, Chrysler that is nuts. You might as well consider the companys in Elkhart IN. that convert passenger vans manufacturers as well.

Re: 1966 Yenko Stinger for sale
Belair, manufactured is not a relative term. You either build it or you convert it. So what you are saying is that Yenkos aren't Chevys? Please stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
