I'm looking for input on this text from people that know about this Carvair, and don't. Is it clear to all? It's going on a show board. Thanks Bob Dunahugh.
A True ONE of 1
The only 1969 COPO Yenko Stinger ever built. The
rarity is enhanced by having been ordered with the 240 Horsepower Stage IV engine. Only a handful of these engines were produced.
Goodyear ordered this car from Yenko to withstand speeds up to 140 MPH at over 7000 RPMs for an extended period of time. The object was to test 13 inch tires for Ford of Australia. At that time, Chevrolet and Ford did not have a car that was up to the challenge.
After the Ford project was completed, YS-9700 was put to use testing studded snow tires at high speeds. When Goodyear sold the Stinger, there were 2216 miles on the odometer. It now has almost 3000 miles on it. This Goodyear Stinger continues to be driven at high speeds, at road course, track events around the country.
Entered in a national Concours event, it scored 961.7 points out of 1000 and was awarded a senior division classification.
