I thought of this site when I was downstairs digging out old Yenko collectibles. I've located many older release 1:64 & 1:18 die cast, plus some Yenko memorabilia purchased at that auction at the very 1st Yenko Reunion (1998) in Henderson, TN at the Holiday Inn. What a neat weekend that was. Anyway we have participated in MCACN for the last 4 years now in the swap meet/collectible area, and what a show it is. Always love love love it. Wish I still had the real one though... </div></div>
Great to have you back on the site, Jim and thanks for your continued support of the MCACN show.
Jim has signed up again to vend with us in his usual spot in our swap area, against the far wall up front. Be sure to stop by his display and check out all the great stuff he has. For anyone who doesn't know already, Supercar Collectibles deals in very select limited edition die cast replica's, many that are exclusive. In other words...he has the "good stuff!"

Thanks Bob. We really do try to have the good stuff. I've dug out some of my own personal items to bring to this show, in addition to 1:64, 1:43, 1:20, and 1:18 diecast, I'll have a couple porcelain Yenko Camaro's (9" and 12"
plus Don Yenko's off white dinner jacket he was married in, his Army-Air Force green uniform jacket with a couple of patches, and a shirt-jacket type item that was signed by many of his friends at a college graduation / frat party / reunion type event. Really a unique piece, with sayings, notes, signatures, many drawings on it, even Hope signed it. Like Bob said, back in the corner of the swap meet, right next to where some people exit the swap meet to get to the hotels. Stop by and check us out.
Now a short story... When I read there is to be 7 of the 8 Pontiac Trans Am convertibles ('69's) it brought back some memories, as that's what this is all about - right? In 1980-81? area I was at the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals walking the showfield. I come upon a '69 TA, stop, pull out my camera, focus, and when looking through the lens to get the best photo I can, I notice a matching convertible - in the background. Wow, never seen one before! So I stopped, didn't take the photo, walked around both cars, stopped again, took a photo of the convertible - with the coupe in the background... Something obviously I'll never forget. I can't wait to maybe see the exact same car again... and looking very much forward to it.
