Yenko Stinger YS054
 

Jay Leno is the new owner of YS 054 as of last week. Significant price.

How significant?

Re: Yenko Stinger YS054
 

Wish I could say...but Leno asked us not to tell. Price paid indicates that collectors are beginning to realize the true value of the Stingers as the first Yenko modified car and the only Yenko cars with significant race history.

I'd say Ed Hedrick's racing accomplishment was pretty significant! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Without knowing the figure, how do we really know Jay paid what you consider a &quot;significant price&quot; for the car?

Been down this road more then once with rumored, inflated, sale prices. Made famous by one of our own, Mr. H. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

In this case, you will have to take my word on it...or not, as you choose.As to &quot; significant race history &quot; of Stingers, that was accomplished over many seasons, not just one or two. Even today, several Stingers race quite sucessfully in Vintage Racing

Through out the years Yenko Camaros, Novas, and Chevelles have done quite well on the drag strip, several discussed on here. A handful still race today. This success, and exposure, past and present, is what has driven the Yenko market.
