this pic is the restored 67 Yenko that I think is the one in the (non v-top) original pictures. It has some interesting early paperwork useing the Stinger logo and calling the car a "Yenko Stomper".
It appears that Yenko's early 1967 plan was to offer a Stinger, a Stormer, and a Stomper.

Isn't that car the one sold out of Evans in Ohio?

my notes say - YS604 Earl Davis Chev.
not on the 107 vin list or the 54 vin list

What's the vin? Might be another Donna Mae typo

As I did not live nearby I did not spend much time at Humphrey. The HP cars were stored in the building across from the used car lot on 35th st, that's where my Corvair was delivered. I remember Z/28s, Corvettes, Chevelles jammed in there. When I worked for CPX one of our customers was a former salesman there and stated they had several '67 Z/28s, none of which I recall.

Dale was nuts-they had 2 of Gibbs' ZL-1s, at least 6 L72 cars, dozens of Z/28s and L78 cars. A friend owned a Yellow/Yellow JL-8 Z/28-RS sold new there, one of the coolest '69s I have ever seen. There were plenty of SHP Chevys in Milwaukee; I believe 25 or so Yenko Camaros were sold in WI. Holz in Hales Corners also had quite a few HP cars in the day and is still in business at the same location. The '67 Z/28 we had was sold new there along with several others.

I will bet some of all that is still here, waiting to be found.

Found my old newspaper article, has this car on the showroom of Earl Davis Chev.

Same dealer had Dick Harrell and his '67 f/c on the showroom floor too.

I believe Earl D sold Stingers also as they are on the Stinger Dealer Network
