Others personalize their Stingers. Seen below is Bill Cotrofeld's YS#002. Bill chose to break from the Yenko color scheme with stripes in favor of a solid dark blue trunk lid. According to Yenko aficionado, Joe Curren, YS#002 was originally delivered in Stage IV tune, and remains that way today. It has headers, a spring-loaded idler pulley, a trunk mounted oil cooler, and 4 Corvair carburetors. The carbs have special Clark's Corvair Parts air-cleaners. The PVC tube was plugged at the crossover pipe and the crankcase breather tube was fed directly in the right hand air-cleaner. The trunk and deck lids are Fiberglas, and the interior is stripped, and uses a beefy roll cage and hard core racing seat. |

Tires are B. F. Goodrich Euro T/A radials, 205 on the front and 225 on the rear. David says there were 27,000 miles on the odometer when he bought the Stage II Stinger. It had always been street driven and was never raced. He is the 8th owner of #YS-019.
