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.

Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show

Fri, Aug 26 2016

Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera — and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.

Chevy brings back Midnight Edition Colorado and Silverado for 2016

Wed, Feb 10 2016

Chevrolet is capitalizing on the popularity of last year's shadowy Midnight Edition pickups with new versions at the Chicago Auto Show. The package's darker trim allows buyers to make their trucks look a little more menacing straight from the dealer. The 2016 Midnight Editions don't deviate from last year's monochromatic theme. The trucks feature blacked-out trim from the grille, badges, bumpers, and headlight bezels. The obsidian shades also appear on the side moldings and painted wheels. Chevy completes the dark theme with a black spray-in bedliner. Available with the Z71 package, customers can also get off-road equipment like an upgraded suspension, locking rear differential, and hill descent control – depending on the model. Chevy offered the Midnight Edition for the Silverado and Colorado last year, in addition to other models, and customers couldn't get enough of the dark trucks. "The Silverado 1500 Midnight was by far the most popular model in 2015, as demand outstripped supply in a matter of months. It only made sense to expand our special-edition offerings for 2016, including new Midnight editions," Sandor Piszar, Chevy's truck marketing director, said in the models' announcement. Chevy spokesperson Monte Doran told Autoblog the 2016 Midnight Edition pickups will be available this spring, but he wouldn't comment on pricing. You can get a good look at what to expect in the gallery above and expect live photos soon.

They join a growing portfolio of special-edition trucks whose popularity helped Chevrolet truck sales increase 27 percent last year – double the increase for the total truck market. "We introduced several special-edition trucks in 2015 – each combining equipment and appearance packages designed for specific enthusiasts in mind," said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet truck marketing director. "They clearly resonated with buyers, as the special editions sold in one-third the time, and to younger, more affluent buyers than the industry average. "The Silverado 1500 Midnight was by far the most popular model in 2015," Piszar continued, "as demand outstripped supply in a matter of months.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
