This is a picture of the Yenko Prototype displayed in the Yenko Dealership showroom. We believe it is the same car that was displayed in November, 1965 at the Daytona SCCA runoffs. Note the larger Stinger Decal on the landou panel and tail pipes under rear valance panel. Sign said: Yenko Sportscars, Inc. - of Canonsburg, PA - Presents the Stinger - 1966 SCCA "D" Production.
