Not much interest it appears =-O

The answer is the only 69 Yenko Corvair! The one that Goodyear Tires had 
built as a test vehicle for high speed tires. The  owner made the 89K 
claim at the meeting of the 1969 Corvair Group in Lexington. His story 
was that a collector is trying to put together the most complete Yenko 
collection including an example of all years of Camaros, Novas, Corvairs 
etc. Naturally, if there is only one 69 Yenko Corvair and this guy had 
it along with one each of the others, by definition he would have the 
only "complete" Yenko collection. FWIW, that is what I remember from 
Lexington.   Interesting?? Apparently not.
