The 72 Vega GT shown as an auction car coming up for sale has a Yenko turbocharger kit installed . i bought the same kit through Yenko Chevrolet in the fall of 1972 and installed it on a 73 sedan delivery Vega. The parts shown in the pics were all included in the kit I paid $300 for through Schmidt Chevrolet along with the new car for $1800. . The Smokey reference as the engine builder is questionable.

Neuschwanstein, aka King Ludwig's castle, in the Bavarian Alps of Southern Germany. Beautiful place to visit!! This is the back side, the front side is an even better view IMO.

Yah - this view is showing the servant's entrance (and exit).

Bill W,

Same Same, here in Fremont somewhere around the early 80’s I was keeping an eye on a minty condition Marina Blue ‘67 Impala SS 427. I recall it may have had a Blue interior?

Anyway I spotted it several times parked behind a Mom-and-Pop store here in Fremont, but I had no money at that time to pursue it.

I just stared at it’s beauty.

Exner bought the last unbodied original Bugatti, and used it to showcase his design talents
