Is that a Z-16 Chevelle model I see there that I'm tempted to bid on??

Sounds great guys!.
An old Motion Supercar Club Racing Jacket is what I'm gonna' kick in for the bidding...not perfect condition but certainly the only one I have..
It's blue with the wide stripe down one side and the Motion patch on the other...any interested bidders?.
Are we Ok with the 'higher ups' here to go ahead with this?.
If so and there's interested bidders, I'll get a picture of it on here somehow over the next couple of days?.

I've got a lot of junk but I'll do some digging and try to find something worthwhile. I do have a few autographed golf balls.

Pete, Email me photos and size on that jacket and I will make quite the generous donation. I'll also throw in three cars to auction including the Red Z16 model (I've had that over twenty years unassembled) and a diecast 69 ZL1 Corvette. For the old guys (like me?) I've got a nice RED 62 Belair Bubble top 409, a 58 and a 64 big car. Are the Mods onboard? how do we do this?

A few Yenko items up for bid, with all proceeds (we will spring for shipping) going to the fund. Get your bids in early, or for that matter, make us an offer we cannot refuse, as the auction could end at any time.

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


First up is a "THE STINGER IS COMING" bumper sticker and a Yenko Stinger decal.





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.




The last lot are two business cards of Don Yenko. The first one, the "Hi-Performance" card is extremely rare, making it very collectable. The other card is kind of neat, and ironic, as Don lost his life in a plane crash while piloting his own plane.

Finally someone with some power around here shows up...VERY CL items Tom...this is GREAT!!!

On the Motion Jacket, I'll have to take it to work on Monday to get a pic together as I don't have a digicam..

The part I mentioned about it not being perfect is there was a couple extra patches added over the years which have been removed so their old thread outline slightly shows also it's very slightly soiled but I haven't tried washing it or anything...this can be left to the new owner to decide?.

No problem on the shipping...I'm happy to spring for this!.

Chris, not sure what you're saying...you want the jacket yourself...this could get complicated?.

The size isn't marked but is like a medium...it kind've fits me at about 175 but these era jackets are really short so would probably be better for display than wearing?.

yes Pete, you're right, lets not complicate it. I'm a bit larger than medium and must cut down on my "display" items. Let the highest bidder be the lucky one. I am really impressed with the Yenko stickers, so I will try to dig out some old Motion stickers.

I have 4 of these to auction off. They were looked at by MR70 and are 1965 AutoShow Photo Folder handouts. Never used.
They are 6"x5" when closed and are 10"x6" fully opened.
All proceeds going to the fund.

Here are a couple of original Baldwin Motion stickers. Actually I would have liked to pass these on to our late friend Larry Clain. For those of you who got to meet him in person and see his cars you were very fortunate. I know he has many pals here who miss him so I offer these up in his memory. The funds will go to helping someone else.

They are autographed by Joel.
