Huge auction from a private collection

As I understand it, the owner of this collection passed away and the family didn't want his stuff so they're auctioning it off. A lot of it is "No Reserve". Click the "No Reserve" button to check out what's available.

Here is the website:

Here is a nice '65 Corsa Turbo (claims it's a Yenko):

Very nice Corsa Turbo.

They say it has Yenko graphics (which it does) - they don't claim it's an actual Yenko car unless I didn't see it in the listing somewhere.

Looks like just the graphics to me too.

There is no rear spoiler, no deck lid vents, no back pillar panel and it still has the Corvair badging.

You have to look at the decal on the side, it says Yenko SC! That is a company that Lynn Yenko put together because the "Yenko" name was trademarked by another company that bought the name.

It is not a Don Yenko, Yenko.

There were at least a dozen ‘66 COPO Stingers that did not receive any fiberglass parts, graphics or de-trimming from Yenko. Mark Gillespie believes it may as even been as high as a 1/3 of the cars. Many you see today did not start out looking like they do now. The only known one that still exists in this form, is my YS-025.
All that aside, this car has nothing to do with a Yenko Stinger.

A tear comes to my eye everytime 025 is mentioned. The one that got away...

It hasn’t spent a day outside since September 2003 and I even put a correct 140 in it last year. I’m waiting on some floor parts from Steve Morton (rear seat pan), then I can put the new fuel line in I made last year as well.
