<VV> Looked at the Yenko Stinger on eBay

[Marc Marcoulides]

It is so close to where I live I could not resist taking a peek today. The paint is in poor shape, the Yenko badge is attached with 2 phillps screws and whoever put the heads on did it backwards and modified the balance tube to make it functional. The rear mount is failed. I did not see any rust.

6K seems about right, 24K does not!  Although I saw some rust which would 
concern me further -->  I would look at it in person before shelling out 6K!
