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.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
