cars that were built but not in the guide? - Page 2

It was called the "Yenko Stinger". Don Yenko was involved in road racing before drag racing and the Stinger was his first "tuner" car. Google it.

The 1999-2003 Ford ZX2. The last listing in the Guide was for 1998 and there weren't even any engine specifications then.

1967 Ford Ranchero with any engine.

Quite a few. There were several stages, and they were built from around 65 or 66 up till around 68 or so. Yenko installed cams, carburetors, headers, ignition upgrades, roll cages, suspension upgrades, as well as wheel and tire packages. Most of them were dark blue with white stripes.

I have a 65 Corsa 140 4 speed with a Crown racing suspension kit sitting in the storage building. I've even got two sets of Porsche 40 TIN Zenith 3 barrel carburetors.

87-91 Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette. It was GM RPO code B2K, and there were over a 100 in each year they were built, one year i believe was over 500. Those cars made great power with very little boost, and I my memory serves the turbos would support a lot more than the 375-425 they were rated at.

Was/is the 1965 Chevelle Z-16 big block car in the classification guide? 375 hp, 396, a 201 unit-build car, supposedly 200 2dr. SS hdt. cars and 1 SS convertible. All were equipped w/Muncie close-ratio 4 speeds. Never saw one of these cars in person that was the "real deal" ....only a couple of phony "clones"....WJ

The often talked about 1966 D/Dart, Chrysler said they made 50 but I don'y think that number was ever reached but they certainly made more of them than they did 1965 Hemi 4bbl cars.

The 65 Malibu SS Coupe is in the guide with the 396/375 4 speed only. It's a natural B/S car. The convertible is not in the guide.

Ive seen the real Z-16 65 malibus, they all had the funky wheel looking hub caps on them, at least the ones I saw.

There is a REAL and original Z-16 in Milwaukee with 7200 miles ! All original w/funky hubcaps ! He's a friend of mine, and he bought it new ! He drives it at night, because he got sick of people following him , wanting to know It is a real one , and does he want to sell it ! The car is flawless, as in like the day he got it ! He refers to the car as his TAX FREE 401 plan ! ...........Later, John
