Up for bid is my 1966 Chevrolet Yenko Stinger Corvair. Please note that this is a TRUE, DOCUMENTED Yenko and is NOT a clone or tribute car. Yenko Stinger 054 (YS-054) is completely restored to original condition, just as delivered to Yenko Chevrolet in late 1965. This is a Stage II "Street Stinger" with just a few ticks over 56,000 documented miles. It is a VERY rare and significant car. The Stinger was Yenko's first car that he went through the COPO process through and let to his Camero's, Chevelles, Novas, Vegas etc. The Stinger Corvair is the ONLY car he specifically modified for road racing. YS-054 is one of the original 100 COPO Corvairs ordered by Don Yenko and convered into his intended for road racing Stingers. I encourage you to go to Yenkostinger.com and/ or Yenkostinger.org for further knowledge and research on Stinger Corvairs as well as the official registry. It is estimated that approximatly 60-75 Stingers are still in existance today. WAY fewer are original, documented, numbers matching cars, in their original tub like YS-054. I purchased the car from owner #2 in the spring of 2007 in Indianapolis Indiana and immedietly began its nearly 5 year restoration. Much of the front (drivers side) floor was rusted as was much of the bottom portions of the car. (inner fender wells, tunnel cover, front and portions of the rear suspension). Otherwise, the car is in its original body, fiberglass sail panels and decck lid, has its original (numbers matching) engine, transmission, and posi-differential. The car is highly documented and purchase will include the original Protecto-plate, and lots of YS-# affixed to the drivers door jamb, and paperwork including original order form and repair/ work orders made from Yenko Chevrolet. One of the documents is signed by Frank Yenko (Don's father and original owner of Yenko Chevrolet). This particular car came as a radio delete car from the factory but the original owner purchased and had an AM radio installed. He also upgraded the car with Michelin tires at time of purchase. Additionally, he added a Grant steering wheel from Yenko within a few months of purchase. The car is pictured with 15" steel wheels and Toyo Proxy tires. This is for driving purposes and the sale does include the original 13" steel wheels and a set of well used 13" tires. During restoration the car was completely stripped, body work performed (replaced inner fenders, floors, and some damage around the front windshield and rear window). The engine was completely rebuilt as well as the transmission, differential and suspension all by Corvair Specialties. All crome (in and out) was re-cromed to show specs. Stainless was straightened and polished. During restoration the original windshield was cracked during removal and replaced. ALL other glass on the car is original. The dash and gauges were sent to Precision Dash and Gauges and rebuilt/ restored. Original milage was not tampered with during gauge restoration. Everything works properly and as it should. That includes all electrical. The horn, all exterior and interior lights, turn signals, radio (though it does not pick up good reception, it does turn on and off with static) clock- (though it keeps poor time), odometer, wipers, glove box light, etc.This is a rare opportunity to own a true and VERY rare Yenko car. YS-054 was recently awarded 1st in class at the Dana Point Concours de'Elegance (2013), and has various other awards and appearances in car shows. Please call or email with additional questions. (949)370-2142. Serious bidders only. The car is being offered for sale locally and on several collector car sites privately so the auction can be ended early. I encourage you to come and inspect the car or have a representative perform an inspection. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Title will be signed and transferred after funds are cleared and deposited into my account.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper
Fri, Nov 10 2017With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum Sport Coupe
Wed, Aug 23 2023Before General Motors created the Geo brand for cars built or designed by its overseas partners, the Chevrolet Division put its badges on U.S.-market versions of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter, the Suzuki Cultus and the Isuzu Gemini. Those cars were known as the Nova, the Sprint and the Spectrum, and all became Geos starting with the 1989 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of the last Chevy Spectrums ever sold, found in a Denver self-service yard a few months ago. Midway through 1988, the Chevrolet Spectrum abruptly became the Geo Spectrum and was assigned to the 1989 model year. This car was built in May 1988, making it one of the very last of the pre-Geo Spectrums. The Chevrolet/Geo Spectrum was available as a four-door sedan and as a three-door hatchback, from the 1985 through 1989 model years. For 1988 only, a Spectrum Sport Coupe package, featuring some trim upgrades and these rad decals, could be had on the hatchback. This car was essentially identical to its Isuzu-badged counterpart, the I-Mark. In 1988, the MSRP for the cheapest possible Chevy Spectrum hatchback (the stripped-down Spectrum Express) was $6,495, while its somewhat better-equipped I-Mark twin started at $7,439 (that's $17,128 and $19,617 in 2023 dollars). Meanwhile, the base Hyundai Excel hatchback listed at $5,295 and the Yugo GV cost a hilarious $4,199 ($13,963 and $10,941 in today's money). Power came from this 1.5-liter SOHC four-cylinder, rated at 70 horsepower. A turbocharged version with 110 horsepower was available as well. You could get an automatic transmission in the Spectrum, but this car has the base five-speed manual. This car didn't get the optional air conditioning, but at least it has the traditional Isuzu HVAC control icons featuring blow-dried hair and high-heeled dominatrix boots. Just over 170,000 miles on the odometer. Someone installed a pretty good (for the 1980s) Blaupunkt Charlotte CR148 cassette deck in the dash. This was a necessity if you wanted to enjoy full appreciation of the music of the era. The Spectrum is special! It's as slick as city rain. "I didn't spend a lot of money but with my Spectrum it looks like I did." Joe Isuzu mocked Toyota salesmen when pitching the I-Mark. As was nearly always the case during the 1980s, the JDM ads for the same car were much more fun. They should have recreated this commercial with Spectrums.
