thanks Steve, we'll close this auction for the stickers on tuesday around this time. please no snipes. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Thanks Bruce!!!.

On the Jacket itself, it's color is more like the first pic and kind've a Glacier Blue...not the Plymouth Blue look of the second pic..
The flaws as mentioned before include where a couple extra patches were added and removed so their old thread outline slightly shows as you can see in the second pic...a small round one under the Motion emblem and a larger round one on the white stripes.. Also it's very slightly soiled on the white cuffs and a spot over the Motion emblem...I think washing it would clean up great but I haven't tried and this can be left to the new owner?. Getting fussier there's a small red lipstick? mark on the neck area and the base of the zipper could use a stich..
Again, there's no size tag but it's like a Medium..

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

I believe that was the car owned by Floyd Garrett who had it restored without the correct black top. It has been sold and now has the black top. It was also used for the Lane Exact Detail diecast car.

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

I wanted all of the fine people of this site https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif to know that I talked with Carson's dad a couple of nights ago. He and his wife appreciate the effort being put into raising money for this great cause. I would like to share the Email they sent me:




Bart,

This is amazing, I cant believe how generous these guys are. What a cool bunch of guys.
thankyou for putting that on the site. It amazes me how fast people pull together to help.
Kori cant believe it either, she says to tell you hi, and to tell you thankyou! They are putting
the money we have raised so far to good use, They will have a full time lab tech on wed. doing
only research for carsons type of MD. Our doc. is going to e mail us the technical info and I
will forward that to you so you can get a better idea of what is going on.

Thankyou

Rick, Kori, and Carson

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Good deal Bart...I told you that these guys and gals "get it"! Now...why hasn't anyone bid on the cool Motion jacket yet???

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand

A few Yenko items up for bid, with all proceeds (we will spring for shipping) going to the fund.


BTW, ALL items are original, from the Yenko estate and will come with a letter from the sYc denoting such.








Next up is a "Yenko Tuned" decal. You are only bidding on one, I just posted the picture of two so you could see the back of the decal. I have seen this decal on both the rear side glass and valve cover of Yenko cars. These are being reproduced, but this one is the real thing.

https://www.yenko.net/attachments/250748-auction-2.JPG


I'll bid on that Yenko Tuned sticker. Dont know the value, but I'll start with $20.00.

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Thanks for the bid, but becasue Tex was so generous in this offer for the business cards, coupled with the fact I had not received any bids on the other items, I sent all four items to him.

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

dang it, I missed that Tex bid. Oh well, it was just a sympathy bid anyhow, I didnt want you to think your Yenko items were unloved. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Now is as good a time as any to say that the high bidder of the Z16 has sent in his donation but refused delivery on the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ouguysrock.gif
It is now AVAILABLE again for your generous donations!!!!

??? they sat with one bid for days.

looking now for an original MOTION t-shirt, not like the new ones available online today.
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Man I'd love to find one of those shirts too. I was at Carlisle GM Nationals last June and some guys that were looking at our 68 had these white Motion t shirts. They looked brand new and the logo was blue and red. They said they bought them pretty recently from an ad in Hot Rod magazine..I had no luck finding that ad, but all through the few days I was at Carlisle I saw several more people with the shirts. The new one is cool, but I wish it didn't have a web address on it..
Steve

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Is the jacket still available? I'll go $60 if it is
Steve

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

The Motion Jacket is still happening...you're back in front Tarrytown...thanks!.

Cool, could you tell me what the measurement from the pit to the end of the sleeve is? Also the measurement from pit to bottom of jacket.
Thanks

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Pete, any shots of that jacket being worn by vintage racecar drivers?
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Pete,
Has the bidding ended for the jacket yet?
Thanks
Steve

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

I've never found any pics showing a Motion Jacket...shots w/ similar ones worn by Fred Gibb and other racers of the day but nothing of a Motion one?.
If anyone has some pics they can post, please do as I'd be interested and sure love to see them!.

This is a genuine era jacket w/ original Motion patch and not a repop jacket or patch...I got it w/ the Motion patch on it and only removed the extra patches as mentioned previously..

On the bidding, I've waited a bit as I had PM's w/ intentions to bid that haven't showed...also considering it's all about the cause and not the item, I was really expecting there'd be a few more lads here that would join the bidding?.
But to be fair to Tarrytown and anyone else who may want to bid yet, lets say tomorrow it ends and whoever has high bid in at Noon 'site time' is the winner!.

Thanks fellas!

Re: This Car Guy Really Needs a Hand
 

Looks like we're past the Noon site time, so Tarrytown is the winning bidder on the Jacket!.

Thanks fellas...and lets all do any more we can to help this family and their lad!.

PM me your mailing address Tarrytown and I'll pop the Jacket in the mail to you...I expect it's best to forward your winning bid donation directly to the family through the info provided at the beginning of this thread..
