Here is a quote from an online source

" Mo Carter's dealership, City Chevrolet - Oldsmobile was being set up in April 1966 to be the Yenko Sportscars dealer in Canada. The Stinger that I am restoring appears to have been the prototype built ( with GM influence ) to be inspected by Canadian Sports Car Club to make the cars legal to race in Canada. Mo was to be the outlet for all Yenko cars in Canada, funneling the cars to other dealers across the country as well. The high import taxes which Mo had to deal with on the 1966 Stingers were revoked for 1967, making importing the cars easier .However, I don't think much ever came of the idea , other than Don And Mo becoming friends."

And another...

"To clarify this issue, it is in fact a Stinger built for Mo Carter's dealership to be inspected by CASC to have Stingers approved to race in Canada. To avoid import taxes, the basic Corvair was built in Canada , taken to Canonsburg, converted to a Stinger and exported back to Canada. The taxes were then only on the conversion.By the way, there are documents in support of this process, including a 2 page export document signed by Don Yenko.A YS # was not assigned, as the Stingers were to be raced as a Category II car ( FIA rules) not as a Production Sports Car."
