I agree. As I see it. There are COPO Yenko Stingers, And then there are tag cars. I know two guys that bought tag cars, thinking they were COPO cars. That was a shame, as they lost a lot of cash. There are some special tag cars that do have value. It is hoped that the web site can help to show the history and features of all.    Bob

 Yes - a tag car is a real Stinger. the whole point of having the Stinger program was to go SCCA racing. ALL you needed, aside from safety features, exterior identifing marks and an overall mechanically sound vehicle - was the Yenko Stinger tag. Without it, you basically couldn't race, aside from A/Sedan - but that's a whole 'nother story. I don't want to get into values, because like yourself - I don't care what they are worth - I'm in it for the fun - not the $. I'll give them away to a good home vs. give them to my kids if they are just going to park them out back under the maple tree.

Fruit for thought. Are tag cars real stingers. People could order a tag from Yenko, and then put it on their Corsa, Monza, 500 coupe or 4 door. Is that a real stinger? The AIR thing, the west coast people can answer that. The 140 engine had a QF on it. There were only 6 made in 67. 140 with A.I.R. When I talked to Kevin  when he had it. He called it a stinger. I've seen old adds that called them stingers. The deal died back in 67. But I agree,  him calling it a stinger, didn't make it a stinger.  Anyway, Are tag cars real stingers?  Bob
