Auto World American Muscle - Chevy® Vega™ Yenko® Stinger Hardtop Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals (MCACN) (1972, 1/18 scale diecast model car, Red) AMM1156

Dennis Albaugh's extremely rare 1972 Chevy Vega Yenko Stinger is an example of 1-of-30 Man-O-War Red Versions that Don Yenko had ordered from GM Through their Central Office Production Order System. He utilized the RPO code 9374RA, defining a special engine with forged aluminum pistons strong enough to handle the added pressure from the aftermarket turbo kit that Yenko installed. He also specced the cars to include the GT Package, 4-Speed manual transmission. Positraction, rear spoiler, and front air dam. The cars ordered in 1972 also got a larger radiator. The stock Vega engine was only 110hp. However, with the Yenko upgrades, it produced north of 155hp. Of the original 400 Vega Yenko Stingers that were ordered from GM in 1971 and 1972, only 11 are still known to exist today. Dennis' Car does not have the optional turbo installed, but the parts and documentation were on display in the hatch!
